Abstract
Various implementations include dispensers for a plurality of sheets of sheet material that includes at least two adjacent panels that together define a removable surfboard, wherein the two adjacent panels are joined together via a fold line. Various implementations also include blanks that can be folded into the dispensers and methods of assembling the same. In some implementations, the removable surfboard has a length of about 60% to about 80% of a length of the fold line. In addition, the removable surfboard has a medial portion and lateral portions disposed on opposite sides of the medial portion. The lateral portions defined by the first panel have a width that is greater than a width of the medial portion defined by the first panel. Additionally, in some implementations, the shape of the removable surfboard contributes to a unique look for the dispensers and the blanks.
