Abstract
An improved stacked sheet material assembly is disclosed. A carton or container for reliably releasing stacked tissues also is disclosed. The assembly includes at least a first web and a second web on the top of the assembly where dispensing is started. The first and second webs are shown using various efficient starter folding patterns, for releasing sheet material webs, or tissues, more reliably and consistently. Folding patterns preferably achieve dispensing of one tissue at a time, from the beginning of the carton to the end of the carton, with relative ease, no tissue tearing, and no package induced fallback.
