Abstract: An adhesive tape or label roll dispenser is disclosed. The dispenser is preferable manufactured from a single piece and includes a front panel with connected adjacent side panels. Each side panel includes a protruding pin. The user centers the adhesive tape or label roll on one protruding pin and bends the front panel and the other side panel around the label, centering the other protruding pin through the roll. The distal end of each pin includes an engaging clip enabling the distal ends of each pin to fixedly engage and secure the roll within the dispenser. The dispenser also includes a hook on each side panel at the edge opposite the front panel, enabling the user to suspend the dispenser from a utility shelf or wall bracket.

Abstract: The present invention provides a clamshell container for storing and dispensing rolls of labels. The container has a top portion hinged along one edge to a bottom portion and a generally cylindrical shape with flanges extending along a longitudinal center plane. The bottom portion has transverse partitions providing semi-cylindrical compartments between the partitions, each compartment receiving a roll of labels. The flanges of the top and bottom portions on the ends and back have a channel, the channel comprising a U-shaped projection from the top portion which is received by a mating U-shaped recess in the bottom portion for a snap-fit, interlocking engagement of the top portion to the bottom portion. The top and bottom flanges on the front have a button for interlocking engagement of the top and bottom portions further ensuring that the container does not come open inadvertently.
