  • Publication number: 20250228415
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dispensing containers for storing and dispensing folded sheet materials. The dispensing container of the present disclosure can be constructed so as to be free of polymer films. The dispensing container includes a unique dispensing system that can include an access opening in combination with a baffle. The baffle can include a non-linear slit that can apply forces to a sheet material being dispensed. In this manner, a sheet material can be maintained in an upright position without falling back into the container. The access opening can be used to initially thread tissues through the baffle or to re-thread tissues through the baffle after some of the sheets have been dispensed.

  • Patent number: 12252328
    Abstract: Various implementations include dispensers for a plurality of sheets of sheet material that includes at least two adjacent panels that together define a removable surfboard, wherein the two adjacent panels are joined together via a fold line. Various implementations also include blanks that can be folded into the dispensers and methods of assembling the same. In some implementations, the removable surfboard has a length of about 60% to about 80% of a length of the fold line. In addition, the removable surfboard has a medial portion and lateral portions disposed on opposite sides of the medial portion. The lateral portions defined by the first panel have a width that is greater than a width of the medial portion defined by the first panel. Additionally, in some implementations, the shape of the removable surfboard contributes to a unique look for the dispensers and the blanks.
