Abstract: A stack of folded and partially interleaved thin and soft sheets is held in a container such that the sheets can be drawn one at a time from the container. The container has a bottom formed with two pairs of opposing lower flexible lugs together defining a central discharge port and four blind extensions extending obliquely from opposite ends of the discharge port and having respective rounded ends. The flexibility of the lugs is such that on pulling of the lowermost sheet of the stack down through the port first the sheet flexes down one of the lugs of one of the pairs, then both lugs of the other pair, and finally the other lug of the one pair. Two pairs of opposite side have respective upper flexible lugs each extending the full width of the respective side and extending downward from the respective side toward the discharge port. The stack rests on all the upper flexible lugs.

Abstract: A container for storing a stack of thin and soft sheet materials is provided. The container has a discharge port on the underside of the container through which the stacked sheet materials are dispensed one by one. The discharge port is defined by at least one pair of opposing flexible lugs and is enlarged by the sheet materials. When a sheet is drawn out of the container, one of the flexible lugs is contacted by the sheet and is pushed down so that the discharge port is enlarged to facilitate dispensing. Then the other one of the flexible lugs is contacted by the sheet and pushed down.
