Readily openable pop-up dispenser for moist tissues

A method of manufacturing a resealable dispenser for dispensing individual moisture-impregnated articles from a plurality of interleaved said moisture-impregnated articles comprising the steps of:

• (a) forming a housing including depending side walls and a top wall comprising a substantially planar outer surface and a recessed portion having a perimeter and including an orifice for removal of said individual moisture-impregnated articles from said housing through said orifice, said recessed portion having a size sufficient to accommodate a portion of one of said moisture-impregnated articles projecting from said orifice and said housing being formed from a material having sufficient rigidity so that said housing retains its shape subsequent to its formation;
• (b) supplying said plurality of said moisture-impregnated articles to said housing through an opening in said housing subsequent to said step of forming said housing;
• (c) sealing said opening in said housing after said step of supplying said plurality of said moisture-impregnated articles into said housing;
• and
• (d) attaching a resealable flexible label to said substantially planar outer surface of said top wall of said housing, said label having a size greater than said perimeter of said recessed portion and sufficient to completely cover and extend beyond said perimeter of said recessed portion, whereby said moisture-impregnated articles can be individually removed from said housing and a subsequent one of said plurality of moisture-impregnated articles drawn into the removal position with a portion of said article within said recessed portion, and said resealable label can be resealably sealed to said outer surface of said top wall with said subsequent moisture-impregnated article in said removal position.

A resealable dispenser for dispensing individual moisture-impregnated articles from a plurality of interleaved said moisture-impregnated articles comprising:

• a housing having sufficient rigidity to retain its shape subsequent to its manufacture, said housing including depending side wall means for retaining a supply of said moisture-impregnated articles therein and a top wall comprising a substantially planar outer surface and a recessed portion including an orifice for removal of said individual moisture-impregnated articles from said housing through said orifice, said recessed portion having a size sufficient to accommodate a portion of one of said moisture-impregnated articles projecting from said orifice;
• supply means comprising an opening in said housing for supplying a plurality of said moisture-impregnated articles into said housing subsequent to its manufacture;
• sealing means for sealing said supply means after said supplying of said plurality of said moisture-impregnated articles into said housing, said sealing means comprising a thin film covering providing a bottom wall for said housing;
• and
• a resealable flexible label attached to said substantially planar outer surface of said top wall of said housing and having a size sufficient to completely cover said recessed portion, whereby said moisture-impregnated articles can be individually removed from said housing and a subsequent one of said plurality of moisture-impregnated articles drawn into the removal position with a portion of said article within said recessed portion, and said resealable label can be resealably sealed to said outer surface of said top wall with said subsequent moisture-impregnated article in said removal position.
