Abstract: A package includes a plurality of disposable absorbent articles and a packaging having a front panel, a back panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, and a pair of side panels. The panels cooperatively define an interior compartment. At least one of the side panels has a longitudinal central axis, a pair of side edges, a gusset disposed adjacent the top panel, and a line of weakness having a first portion disposed on one side of the longitudinal central axis, a second portion disposed on the opposite side of the longitudinal central axis, and a third portion spanning between and connecting the first and second portions. The third portion of the line of weakness is spaced from the ends of the first and second portions. The plurality of disposable absorbent articles is compressed within the interior compartment and arranged in at least one row extending between the side panels.

Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed which is capable of dispensing articles from two locations. The dispenser includes first and second members pivotally connected together by a first hinge to form a first entrance into the dispenser. The first and second members are capable of housing a plurality of wet or dry, sheet-like articles. The first entrance provides reach-in access wherein multiple sheet-like articles can be withdrawn at one time. The second member also has a second entrance formed therein from which the sheet-like articles can be individually withdrawn. The dispenser further includes a third member secured to the first member by a hinge that is coaxially aligned with the first hinge. The third member is capable of pivoting on its hinge to cover the second entrance.

Abstract: A dispenser is disclosed which can house a plurality of folded wet wipes, each having a width. The dispenser includes first and second members pivotally connected together to form an enclosed dispenser having a transverse axis. The first and second members are formed from a semi-rigid material. The dispenser has a height of about 2.5 inches or less and has a top wall with an entrance formed therein. The entrance has a surface area of from between about 15 cm2 to about 95 cm2. The folded wet wipes having a normalized separation force between two adjacent sheets of less than about 65 g/cm. The entrance also has a dimension measured along the transverse axis that when divided by the width of one of the folded wet wipes is at least about 0.7.
