Containers, blanks, and methods for dispensing web material

A package adapted for storage and dispensing of web material from a roll, the package comprising:

• a container including (1) a base portion defining a compartment, the base portion having a bottom panel defining a bottom of the compartment, a front base panel extending upwardly from the bottom panel to define a front of the compartment, a back panel extending from the bottom panel to define a back of the compartment, and first and second base side tabs extending between the bottom panel, the front base panel, and the back panel at opposing sides thereof to define opposing sides of the compartment;
• (2) a lid portion extending from the back panel, the lid portion moveable between an open position for access to the compartment and a closed position blocking access to the compartment;
• and (3) a dowel arranged in the compartment that extends from the first base side tab to the second base side tab;
• and
• a roll of web material arranged in the compartment of the container, the roll of web material being wound around a central axis that extends through the first base side tab and the second base side tab, wherein the roll of web material is positioned in an overhand orientation with the web material extending over a top of the roll toward the front base panel and is routed under the dowel before extending over a top of the front base panel so that the dowel can apply a shear force to the web material during dispensing and reduce the tendency of the web material to curl when a portion of the web material is removed from the roll of web material.
