  • Patent number: 4197964
    Abstract: A starter sheet for a package of the type dispensing individual product sheets, one at a time in pop-up fashion, and alternately from discrete first and second continuous webs of product sheets. The webs are interfolded to form a stack of product sheets with the first half of the first product sheet of the first web overlying the first half of the first product sheet of the second web at the top of the stack. The package has a restrictive dispensing orifice of such size that the consumer cannot start the first product sheet of the first web through the dispensing orifice with his fingers. The starter sheet is formed into a Z-fold overlying and underlying the first half of the first product sheet of the first web and partially underlying the first half of the first product sheet of the second web. A portion of the starter sheet extends through the restrictive dispensing orifice of the package by an amount sufficient to be conveniently grasped by the fingers of the consumer.
