Abstract
Dispensing containers including a bottom, a top, and one or more side walls defining an interior cavity within the container. A support structure adjacent the bottom of the container forms an angle between a top surface of the support structure and the bottom that is from 120° to 150°. This allows the container to accommodate a rectangular stack of wipes positioned within the interior cavity of the container, in a substantially vertical orientation, with the short side contacting the bottom of the container, and the underside of the stack contacting the top surface of the support structure. The stack of wipes may be taller than the height of the container, fitting into the container due to the slightly angled orientation of the stack, the flexible nature of the stack of wipes, and the support structure allowing the stack to bend or flop over the support.
