  • Dispensing container and method for manufacturing same
    Patent number: 6761269
    Abstract: A container for dispensing individual plastic wrap covers and a method of assembling such a container are disclosed. The container may be generally parallelopiped in shape and may include a hinged lid initially secured to the container along a score line. The lid may be torn along the score line and pivoted at the hinge to allow the user to access a smaller opening provided within the container. The smaller opening may be provided within a fifth flap provided integrally with the remainder of the template used to form the container. The opening may be sufficiently large to allow for the plastic wrap covers to be removed, but may be sufficiently small so as to prevent or substantially limit the removal of more than one plastic wrap cover at a time.
