Abstract
A package for dispensing and separating single sheets from a continuous web of pre-moistened sheets which are joined at perforations includes a continuous web of premoistened sheets, and a bag which may but need not be found within a container, surrounding the web. The bag is open at a top end portion thereof, and an end sheet of the web extends through the open top end portion. A flexible tie device is positioned to surround the end sheet of the web and the top end portion of the bag and gathers and substantially seals the bag around the end sheet of the web. The flexible tie device causes sufficient friction between the top end portion of the bag and the end sheet to enable the end sheet to tear from the next sheet of the web at the perforations therebetween when the end sheet is withdrawn. The flexible tie device is adjustable to enable selective alteration to adjustment of the size of the opening through the opened top end portion of the bag and the end sheet.
