Abstract: A tissue paper box includes a plurality of side walls, a bottom wall and a top wall which define an enclosure for containing tissue papers; the top wall being cut-away to define a paper outlet through which the tissue papers can be removed; the side walls being collapsible to provide the tissue paper box in compact form after at least some of the tissue papers are removed therefrom; and at least one elastic strip secured to interior surfaces of the walls of the box for biasing the tissue papers toward the paper outlet, the at least one elastic strip being at least partly removable through the paper outlet when all of the tissue papers are removed from the box, to be wrapped around the box so as to maintain the box in the collapsed, compact form.
