A package of fan folded container carriers having a carton with vertical walls and a moveable platform positioned with respect to a bottom of the carton. Stacks of fan folded planar container carriers are then positioned in the cartons using a method for packaging wherein each stack of fan folded planar container carriers are secured with dividers positioned within the cartons.
