Abstract
Disclosed is a dispenser useful for storing and dispensing sheet material comprising a flexible outer wrapper, which may be formed from a single piece of plastic, defining an interior space for receiving the sheet material to be stored and dispensed. The outer wrapper has a top surface and a first opening disposed thereon. The dispenser further comprises a dispensing panel disposed between the stack of sheet material and the outer wrapper. The dispensing panel may be formed from a semi-rigid material, such as paperboard having a bending stiffness greater than about 200 Taber Stiffness Units so as to provide the dispenser with some structural integrity and facilitate dispensing of the sheet material.
