UNITARY FOLDABLE DISPENSER REEL AND CONTAINER ABSTRACT A dispenser reel and container are integrated into a unitary foldable structure (10) which when folded into an assembled configuration, is suitable for the shipping and dispensing of a spool of wire, cable, and the like, that may be wound on a spindle or other hollow cylindrical core device. In one embodiment, the invention is fabricated out of flat corrugated paperboard that is easily cut to appropriate dimensions and provided with fold creases (e.g. 102, 104, 106, 108) or score lines that make it readily foldable around the packaged spool of cable or the like. In said one embodiment, the cut corrugated paperboard comprises two interconnected substantially recantagular portions (12, 14) and two interconnected substantially circular portions (16, 18), each circular portion having partially cut fold-out wing portions (48, 50, 52, 54). The substantially rectangular portions, which form two of the walls of the container, have margin portions (e.g. 22, 24, 30, 32) along their perimeters which form the remaining four walls of the container when they are folded into place. A first circular portion (18) is integral to a selected margin portion (30), while the second circular portion (16) is connected to the first by a bridge (20) which also functions as a stand for the assembled dispensing reel. The fold-out wing portions are folded into the center of the reel to form a spindle upon which a spool of dispensable product such as cable is to be mounted. In one embodiment, the fold out wing portions have interlockable tabs (e.g. 60, 64, 68, 72) that provide means for locking the wing portions together into a secure spindle configuration.
