Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a container (1) for a stack (2) of interfolded tissue-sheets (3), said container (1) having a generally planar bottom wall (3) and a top wall (5) and side walls (6-9) connecting said bottom wall (4) with said top wall (5). An opening (14) is provided in the top wall (5) for the removal of said tissue-sheets (3) from the container (1), which opening (14) is wider than the width of said tissue-sheets, said stack (2) of interfolded tissue-sheets (3) being placed in said container (1) with a lowermost tissue-sheet (11) placed on said bottom wall (4) and an uppermost tissue-sheet (12) placed near or in contact with the top wall and adjacent to the opening in the top wall (5). The opening (14) is provided with positioning means (17, 18) having elongated, overlapping projections extending from opposite sides of the opening (14) in order to allow the uppermost tissue-sheet (12) to be dispensed, holding it substantially flat. The invention also related to a method for producing said positioning means. <IMAGE>
