Abstract
A thin dispenser package including a housing having a peripheral edge portion with through openings that can be mounted in a ring binder or a hook like projection that can be engaged in pocket folders, portfolios or the like. The dispenser package includes a stack of flexible sheets adhered together by layers of pressure sensitive adhesive with first and second ends of successive sheets in the stack adjacent; and the enclosure in which the stack of sheets is positioned that has a slotted top wall. The first end portion of the uppermost sheet on the stack projects through the slot. As that uppermost sheet is pulled through the slot, the first end portion of the first underlying sheet moves through the slot with the second end portion of the uppermost sheet to leave, after the uppermost sheet is fully peeled from the first portion of the first underlying sheet, the first end portion of the first underlying sheet in a position projecting through the slot.
