Abstract: A container for containing a stack of interfolded tissue paper sheets, wherein the container includes a dispensing opening and lips so that a sheet passes through the dispensing opening when being withdrawn from the stack and dispensed from the sheet, wherein the lips are in an overlapping state in a direction of withdrawal of the sheets, wherein the lips are configured to be opened into a less overlapping or non-overlapping state by the sheet as the sheet moves therethrough and are configured to return to the overlapping state after withdrawal of the sheet.

Abstract: A stack of interfolded tissue paper sheets, wherein the interfolding pattern is such that each sheet is folded at least once to provide leading and trailing panels with respect to a sheet withdrawal direction, to define a stack comprising an overlapping region where adjacent sheets in the stack overlap and non-overlapping regions of the stack on opposed sides of the overlapping region wherein adjacent sheets of the stack do not overlap.
