Abstract
A package supports and dispenses one or more longitudinally stacked product pieces (18). The package includes a sheet positioned around the stacked product pieces. The sheet includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced weakened locations (120) extending transversely thereabout. The weakened locations include a pair of weakened extents (125) which are closely longitudinally spaced. Each weakened location defines a severable location for the sheet to permit dispensing of the product from the package.
