Abstract: A napkin dispenser has a container body for holding a stack of napkins, and a pair of interchangeable face plates each connectable to the container body. One of the face plates has a first elongated dispensing opening exposing a bottom region of the napkin stack, for one-by-one dispensing, and the other face plate has a second elongated dispensing opening exposing an edge region of the napkin stack, for dispensing a plurality of napkins simultaneously.

Abstract: A dispenser for absorbent sheet products includes a transparent cover that permits opening the dispenser body so as to load folded absorbent sheet products therein. The dispenser also includes a lower opening such that absorbent sheet products can be withdrawn therefrom, either one-by-one and/or in groups, while the transparent cover is in a closed position. The transparent cover has a plurality of tabs or rails located on an interior surface thereof. The tabs or rails are adapted to receive and retain an inserted sheet of printed material pressed against the inner surface of the transparent cover. The dispenser and/or the absorbent sheet products are able to be customizable for marketing purposes.

Abstract: A napkin dispenser has a body and a stand that supports the dispenser on a horizontal surface. The body has two main sections, a first upstream section that is straight and extends over the majority of the length of said body, and a second downstream section that extends at an angle relative to the first section and communicates with a dispensing opening. When the dispenser is supported by the stand on a horizontal surface, each of the first and second sections forms an oblique angle relative to the horizontal surface, with the first section forming an angle that is more nearly vertical, and the second section forming an angle that is more nearly horizontal.

Abstract: A stack of interfolded absorbent sheet products comprises a plurality of absorbent sheets each of which is itself folded at least twice about axes that are perpendicular to one another. The absorbent sheets have an embossed surface relief of a predetermined pattern or design. Each of the absorbent sheets within the stack comprises at least one pair of panels sandwiched between a pair of adjacent panels of another of the absorbent sheets in the stack.
