Dispensing aid for facilitating removal of individual products from a compressed package

摘要

A dispensing aid is disclosed for facilitating removal of an individual product from a compressed package. The compressed package has multiple sides and contains a plurality of compressed products arranged in a row. Each of the products has first and second major surfaces. An opening is formed in the compressed package and is aligned perpendicular to the major surfaces of at least one of the products. The opening is sized to allow the products to be individually withdrawn. A slip sheet is positioned adjacent to at least the first major surface of the first product to be withdrawn. The slip sheet to the adjacent product has a lower average coefficient of friction value than the average coefficient of friction value of the first major surface of the product being withdrawn to an adjacent product. The slip sheet functions to reduce the force needed to remove the first product from the compressed package.
