Integrated carton and shipping container design and filling manufacture process

A unitary package including a rolled tissue product and a packaged tissue product overwrapped with a packaging film. The packaged tissue product may be disposed in a folded over portion of a divider and co-packed with first and second rolled tissue products, which differ in at least one regard, to increase the stability of the package. The rolled tissue products preferably comprise a plurality of rolled towel products having a first height and a plurality of rolled bath tissue products having a second height, where the first height is greater than the second height. The divider, packaged tissue product and first and second rolled tissue products are generally packaged together to form a cubic package.

Packaged tissue products

The present disclosure provides a novel blank for producing cartons, particularly cartons useful for storing and dispensing sheets of tissue, having a novel shape. The cartons have at least one corner edge that is partially formed from an edge wall having a convex cross-sectional shape. In certain instances the carton has four corners and each of the edges is at least partially formed from an edge wall having a convex cross-sectional shape. By providing a carton having one or more convex shaped corner edges not only is a disinvite carton created, but the additional wall forming the convex edge may be provided with graphics that differ from the other carton walls to further enhance the cartons distinctive appearance.

Tissue carton

An environmentally friendly package containing refill folded sheets is provided. The package contains a plurality of refill cartridges stacked together. Each refill cartridge contains a stack of interfolded sheets. In one embodiment, for instance, the sheets may comprise facial tissues. Each refill cartridge is configured to refill a sheet dispenser such as a paperboard dispenser. In this manner, a consumer can continually refill a single dispenser instead of having to repurchase a dispenser each time the folded sheet product is purchased.
