Abstract
A substantially rectangular stack of folded wet wipes having an improved dispensability and a method of producing the same are described. The stack of folded wet wipes includes a plurality of wet wipes which are individually folded and arranged in a stacked configuration. Each wet wipe includes a leading end edge which is folded about a fold line. The location of the leading end edge of each wet wipe is selectively varied throughout the stack of wet wipes to provide a more stable stack of wet wipes which has a substantially planar top surface.
