A method of packaging a plurality of tissues for dispensing, the method consisting of: cutting each said tissue into a rectangular shape having a length and a width; folding each said tissue in half lengthwise into a first folded arrangement having said length and one-half of said width; folding each said tissue having the first folded arrangement in half lengthwise a second time thereby forming a second folded arrangement having said length and having one-quarter of said width; placing an even number of equally spaced, widthwise folds in each said tissue having the second folded arrangement thereby dividing said tissue into an odd number of rectangular portions; folding the each said tissue in a Z-folded accordion arrangement; stacking the plurality of tissues with one said rectangular portion of each succeeding tissue between two rectangular portions of each preceding tissue to thereby form a stack of said tissues; placing the stack of said tissues within a box, the box having an open slot; engaging a portion of one of the tissues in the stack with the open slot wherein the slot presses from opposing sides on the one of the tissues; withdrawing the one of the tissues thereby causing the one of the tissues to extend to its full length; and gripping and pulling in opposing directions on corners of the one of the tissues thereby fully unfolding the one of the tissues.
