Apparatus and methods for dispensing cushioning wrap material

An apparatus for dispensing material, the apparatus comprising:

• a box comprising a dispensing opening in communication with an interior of the box;
• a roll of interleaf material rotatably positioned within the box such that a free end of the interleaf material can extend through the dispensing opening;
• a roll of expandable sheet material in an unexpanded form rotatably positioned within the box adjacent the first roll of sheet material such that a free end of the expandable sheet material can extend through the dispensing opening, wherein the interleaf material and expandable sheet material can be concurrently manually pulled out of the box in abutting contact;
• and
• a tensioning assembly the tensioning assembly having first and second support members bounding opposite axial ends of the roll of expandable sheet material, and having an adjustable member extending between the first and second support members, where the adjustment of the adjustable member by a user allows control of rotational resistance of the roll of expandable sheet material to obtain a proper expanded form of the expandable sheet material as it is pulled with the interleaf material from the box through the dispensing opening.
