Abstract:
1. A method of reducing a wetness gradient development for a package of wet wipes, the method comprising: after wet wipes are enclosed within a package to form the package of wet wipes, locating the package of wet wipes in a first orientation such that a first side of the package of wet wipes faces downward and an opposite second side of the package of wet wipes faces upward to form a first wetness gradient after a preselected amount of time; and prior to opening the package of wet wipes to access the wet wipes enclosed within the package of wet wipes, inverting the package of wet wipes according to a predetermined turning schedule to place the package of wet wipes in a second orientation such that the first side of the package of wet wipes faces upward and the second side of the package of wet wipes faces downward to form a second wetness gradient that is different from the first wetness gradient; wherein the second wetness gradient is less than the first wetness gradient, wherein the first wetness gradient is determined at least about 10 days after the package of wet wipes being placed in the first orientation and the second wetness gradient is determined at least about 10 days after the package of wet wipes being placed in the second orientation.
