Unique dispensing carton

Abstract

A parallelepiped dispensing carton for stacked and/or interfolded sheet materials is disclosed. The carton has a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one side wall. The container is formed from a fibrous structure having an opacity ranging from about 5.0 to about 45.0.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A parallelepiped container having a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one side wall, said container being formed from a fibrous structure, at least one wall of said fibrous structure having an opacity ranging from about 5.0 to about 45.0. 
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said at least one wall of said fibrous structure has an opacity ranging from about 6.0 to about 40.0. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said container has an Overall Package Height Reduction value of less than 22.7%. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said at least one wall of said fibrous structure has a plate stiffness value ranging from about 1.4 N*mm to about 200 N*mm. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said container is formed from a fibrous structure bonded to a film material, said bonded material having a compressive pressure value of greater than 2.61. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said fibrous structure has a compression pressure to normalized compression caliper relationship expressed by the equation y=−0.068 ln(x)+1.2219. 
     
     
         7 . A container having a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one side wall, said container being formed from a fibrous structure, said at least one side wall having a plate stiffness value ranging from about 1.4 N*mm to about 200 N*mm and at least one of said walls has an opacity ranging from about 5.0 to about 45.0. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said plate stiffness value ranges from about 1.4 N*mm to about 50 N*mm. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 8  wherein said opacity ranges from about 8.0.0 to about 34.0. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said at least one wall of said fibrous structure has an opacity/caliper value ranging from about 3.8 to about 16.0. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said container has an Overall Package Height Reduction value of less than 22.7%. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said container has an Overall Package Height Reduction value of less than 6.8%. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said container is formed from a fibrous structure bonded to a film material, said bonded material having a compressive pressure value of greater than 2.61. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 7  wherein said fibrous structure has a compression pressure to normalized compression caliper relationship expressed by the equation y=−0.068 ln(x)+1.2219. 
     
     
         15 . A container having a top wall, a bottom wall, and at least one side wall, said container being formed from a material comprising a fibrous structure bonded to a film material, said material having an opacity/caliper value ranging from about 3.8 to about 16.0. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 15  wherein said plate stiffness value ranges from about 1.4 N*mm to about 50 N*mm. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 16  wherein said plate stiffness value ranges from about 1.4 N*mm to about 25 N*mm. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 15  wherein said top wall has a plate stiffness value ranging from about 1.4 N*mm to about 200 N*mm. 
     
     
         19 . The container of  claim 15  wherein said container has an Overall Package Height Reduction value of less than 22.7%. 
     
     
         20 . The container of  claim 15  wherein said container has an Overall Package Height Reduction value of less than 6.8%.
