Container and dispensing system for expanded slit paper

A dispensing system, comprising:

• a container having a plurality of panels, wherein a first panel of the plurality of panels includes a dispensing aperture;
• a roll of slit paper, wherein the slit paper on the roll is in an unexpanded state, and wherein the slit paper is capable of being transformed from the unexpanded state to an expanded state by exerting a longitudinal pulling force on the slit paper;
• a passive tension mechanism located in the container and arranged such that a path of the slit paper from the roll of the slit paper to the dispensing aperture passes through the passive tension mechanism;
• and
• a roll of interleaf paper located in the container;
• wherein the passive tension mechanism is configured to induce tension in the slit paper along the path between the roll of the slit paper and the dispensing aperture such that the slit paper transforms from the unexpanded state to the expanded state along the path between the roll of the slit paper and the dispensing aperture;
• wherein the insertion assembly comprises:
• slots in the first and second roll guides, and
• a shaft extending between the slots in the first and second roll guides,
• wherein a core of the roll of the interleaf paper is located around the shaft and the core of the roll of the interleaf paper is configured to rotate with respect to the shaft;
• wherein the insertion assembly further comprises:
• at least one spacer located on the shaft and positioned between the roll of the interleaf paper and one of the first and second roll guides.
