Abstract
Disclosed is a sheet package including: a sheet stack formed by folding and stacking rectangular sheets; and a container having a dispensing opening through which the sheets are to be removed. Each sheet is first folded on an X-axis folding line substantially parallel to one side of the rectangular shape, and then folded on a Y-axis folding line substantially perpendicular to the X-axis folding line, thereby to form a folded sheet having two outermost sheet portions appearing on two external surfaces thereof and intermediate sheet portions positioned between the outermost sheet portions. Adjacent folded sheets are combined such that X-axis folding lines of the adjacent folded sheets are positioned at opposite sides of the sheet stack and only an outermost sheet portion of one folded sheet is sandwiched between an outermost sheet portion and an intermediate sheet portion of the other folded sheet.
