Abstract: A package of folded paper handkerchiefs comprises a foil enveloping the stack of handkerchiefs. The enveloping foil has adjoining end segments extending from the two opposite wide sides to one of the two elongate narrow sides of the foil. The end segments overlap on the one elongate narrow side to form a flap and they are connected to each other along the short end edges of this narrow side. The flap has a convex rim centrally between the connections at the end segments whereby the flap may be lifted off the other end segment to form a dispensing opening for withdrawal of the handkerchiefs from the package between the connections.
