  • Indented coreless rolls and method of making the same
    Patent number: 5875985
    Abstract: A coreless roll of product that is self-supporting in a rotary dispenser. The roll includes a rolled web of product that is wound throughout its diameter about a winding axis into a cylinder having first and second flat ends. At least one flat end defines a mounting hole at substantially the center of the winding axis of the coreless roll. The mounting hole has a depth and has sides generally perpendicular to the end of the roll. The sides are separated by a distance that is less than the depth of the hole such that the mounting hole is adapted to receive a plunger from a rotary dispenser. Methods of making the coreless roll are also described.
