Recording sheet package

Abstract

A recording sheet package containing a pile of recording sheets in a box-shaped casing. The casing has a paper feed-out opening formed in one end thereof, and a feed roller entrance formed through a top wall of the casing in connection to the paper feed-out opening, for allowing feed rollers to access a topmost one of the piled recording sheets. The recording sheets are piled up on the movable bottom plate that is disposed on a bottom wall of the casing, so as to be able to flap up and down relative to the bottom wall. A push-up plate entrance is formed through the bottom wall in connection to the paper feed-out opening, for allowing a push-up plate of a paper feeding cassette to push up the movable bottom plate and press the topmost recording sheet onto the feed roller. A pressing plate is disposed under the top wall so as to be able to flap up and down relative to the top wall. The pressing plate presses the pile of recording sheets onto the movable bottom plate, so the pile of recording sheets is tightly held between these members. The casing is made from a cardboard paper having a moisture tight polymeric layer formed on one side thereof, such that the moisture tight polymeric layer is oriented outward of the casing.
