Abstract
A resealable dispenser for dispensing a plurality of interleaved, individual moisture-impregnated articles, such as moist tissues, includes a housing having sufficient rigidity to retain its shape subsequent to its manufacture, side and a unitary top wall having a substantially planar outer surface and a recessed portion provided with an orifice for removing individual moist tissues from the housing through the orifice. The recessed portion is formed to accommodate a portion of one of the moist tissues projecting from said orifice so as to allow pop-up dispensing. A resealable flexible label is attached to the outer surface of said top wall and completely covers the recessed portion whereby moist tissues can be individually removed from the housing such that subsequent tissues are drawn into a removal position with a portion of the next tissue remaining within the recess. The flexible label can be resealably sealed to the outer surface of the top wall when a subsequent tissue is in its pop-up, removal position.
