Claim:
A method for producing a dispenser for interfolded disposable sheets comprising: providing a dispensing container defining an interior volume sufficient for receipt of a clip of interfolded disposable sheets, the container including a first wall with a dispensing opening defined by a removable panel in the first wall; providing a hinged flap within the confines of the removable panel, the hinged flap having a first configuration that is coplanar with the removable panel such that an upper surface of the hinged flap is coplanar with an upper surface of the removable panel, and a second configuration wherein the hinged flap pivots down from the removable panel into the interior volume of the container; locating an adhesive material at a location on the upper surface of the hinged flap in the first configuration of the hinged flap such that the adhesive is not exposed to the interior volume of the container in an adhesive state; inserting a clip of interfolded disposable sheets into the interior volume of the container; after the clip of interfolded disposable sheets is housed within the container, pivoting the hinged flap relative to the removable panel into the interior volume of the container so as to bring the upper surface of the hinged flap and the adhesive into a facing position relative to the uppermost sheet of the clip of interfolded sheets; contacting the uppermost sheet of the clip of interfolded sheets to the adhesive material on the hinged flap; and removing the removable panel with attached hinged flap from the first wall such that the uppermost sheet attached to the hinged flap is pulled from the container.
