Abstract: A dispenser for items to be withdrawn from packs containing such items within and comprising a dispenser. The dispenser has at least one pairing of a pack insertion zone and an item withdrawal zone whereby a stack of at least two packs can be maintained in the dispenser with the pack at the item withdrawal zone. This allows (a) individual item withdrawal via the item withdrawal zone from the pack and the dispenser and/or (b) empty pack removal via the item withdrawal zone. The empty packs can reconfigure from their form when full of their items to be pulled out of the dispenser.
