Abstract
The invention includes a method of packaging paper products (such as facial tissue) in a dispenser. A clip of paper product is folded. The folded clip has a central region and a pair of opposing peripheral regions separated from one another by the central region. The peripheral regions of the folded clip are pressed toward one another to compress the peripheral regions. After the peripheral regions are compressed, the folded clip is transferred into the dispenser.

A method of packaging facial tissue in a dispenser, comprising:
- providing a clip comprising a stacked plurality of facial tissue;
- folding the clip about a ski to form a pair of opposing regions of the clip separated from one another by the fold;
- removing the clip from the ski and subsequently pressing the opposing regions toward one another to compress at least portions of the opposing regions;
- and
- after the compression, transferring the folded clip into the dispenser.
A method of packaging paper products in a dispenser, comprising:
- providing a clip comprising a stacked plurality of paper products, the clip comprising a central region and a pair of opposing peripheral regions separated from one another by the central region;
- folding the clip around the central region and pressing the peripheral regions of the folded clip toward one another to compress the peripheral regions;
- the peripheral regions being subjected to at least about 1 psig of pressure during the pressing;
- and
- after compressing the peripheral regions, transferring the folded clip into the dispenser.
A method of packaging paper products in a dispenser, comprising:
- providing a clip comprising a stacked plurality of paper products;
- providing a ski, the ski comprising an edge extending longitudinally along a first direction and having a pair of opposing lateral surfaces extending from the edge;
- folding the clip around the ski;
- the folded clip having a central region along the edge of the ski and having a pair of opposing peripheral regions separated from one another by the central region;
- the peripheral regions extending along the lateral surfaces of the ski;
- pressing the peripheral regions of the folded clip toward one another to compress the peripheral regions;
- the peripheral regions being subjected to at least about 1 psig of pressure during the pressing;
- and
- after compressing the peripheral regions, transferring the clip into the dispenser.
