Abstract

The tearing of tissues during dispensing from upright tissue cartons is reduced by providing the carton with a plastic film having a dispensing opening with an effective open area of about 3 square inches or greater. Dispensing openings formed by multiple intersecting slits provide improved dispensing while retaining an aesthetic pop-up presentation and protection of the tissues within the carton.
