Disclosed is a compressed core-wound paper product such as toilet tissue or paper towels. The core-wound paper product comprises a paper product wound about a generally tubular core. The core-wound paper product is compressed, so that the core is flattened to form vertices. By selecting the proper combination of core materials and thickness, to form a core of the proper stiffness; paper product caliper and quantity, to provide hoop forces against the core which are not too great; and total packaging dimensions, so that the core-wound paper product is not too tightly constrained, the core-wound paper product may be made to open to an inside core dimension of about 0.16 centimeters (0.06 inches) to about 1.27 centimeters (0.5 inches). The invention may be utilized with either single roll or multiple roll packages. |
