ABSTRACT:
The Christian sacrament of communion, particularly in Protestant churches, most often includes the service of wine or the like in small, individual disposable cups. These cups, selectively packaged in cartons, are transferred to trays for filling and subsequent service. To facilitate this transfer each carton includes a stack of spaced apart cup dividers and a top shipping divider. Each divider has a set of selectively arranged openings. Positioned over each cup divider opening is an open end of an inverted cup. Cups on lower cup dividers extend upward through the openings in the above divider. For cup transfer sides panels and a top panel of the carton are folded away. After removal of the shipping divider, an insert of a communion tray is placed up-side-down over the cups on the top cup divider so that the cups fit into holes in the tray insert. Next, a base of the tray is fitted over the insert to reform the tray. The tray, cups, and divider then are lifted from the divider stack and inverted. Lastly, the cup divider is discarded. Further communion trays may filled with cups in a like manner.
