Abstract
A dispenser includes a housing surrounding a volume, an opening formed within a bottom wall of the housing to expose the volume to an environment external to the dispenser, and an insert disposed within the housing. The insert includes first and second sidewalls oriented parallel to each other, an opening formed in a bottom wall of the insert and aligned with the opening of the housing, angled guide walls extending inward from the first and second sidewalls and toward the opening, and a volume disposed between the sidewalls of the insert configured to receive a product stack e.g., paper hand towels. The angled guide walls are configured to reduce the volume of the product stack adjacent the bottom wall.
