An apparatus is described for supplying contoured packing trays, such as molded pulp apple trays, from a nested stack of trays onto an associated conveyer. The apparatus includes receptacles for holding nested stacks of trays, and sensors which protect the operator while he/she is reloading the receptacles. Rails are positioned above the receptacles which extend to a position above the conveyer. A slidable carriage moves on the rails from a first position over the nested stack of trays to a second position above the conveyer, and the movement of the carnage is pneumatically driven. The carriage includes a system of manifolds, which deliver low vacuum to soft, flexible suction cups provided on the carriage. The use of large surface area suction cups and low vacuum helps to control one at a time delivery of trays from the nested stacks.
