Abstract

A co-packaged product for co-packaging two different substrates is disclosed. The co-packaged product comprises a first substrate wound into a roll having an interior space housed within an enclosure. A second substrate is located within a container. The container can be placed into a container opening in the enclosure such that at least a portion of the container resides within the interior space of the roll. In one embodiment, a roll of shop towels is housed within a cardboard enclosure and a wet wipes container is placed through a container opening in the enclosure such that at least a portion of the container is positioned within the core of the roll.

Claims

a first substrate wound into a roll having an interior space, and the roll housed within an enclosure;

a second substrate located within a container; and

at least a portion of the container placed into the interior space.

2. The combination of claim 1 wherein the first substrate comprises a dry substrate and the second substrate comprises a moistened substrate.

3. The combination of claim 2 wherein the first substrate comprises cellulose fibers.

4. The combination of claim 2 wherein the second substrate comprises a wet wipe.

5. The combination of claim 1 wherein the first substrate comprises a moistened substrate and the second substrate comprises a dry substrate.

6. The combination of claim 5 wherein the first substrate comprises a wet wipe.

7. The combination of claim 5 wherein the second substrate comprises cellulose fibers.

8. The combination of claim 1 wherein the second substrate is wound into a roll.

9. The combination of claim 1 wherein the second substrate is interfolded.

10. The combination of claim 1 wherein the roll is wound on a core.

11. A combination comprising:

a first substrate wound into a roll about a core having an interior space, and the roll housed within an enclosure;

the enclosure comprising a top, a bottom, a sidewall, a container opening, and a dispensing opening;

a container comprising a cylindrical body having a diameter D, the container housing a second substrate; and

the container placed within the container opening of the enclosure such that at least a portion of the container resides within the interior space of the core.

12. The combination of claim 11 wherein the dispensing opening comprises a cutter for cutting the first substrate.

13. The combination of claim 11 wherein the dispensing opening comprises a dispensing member having an aperture for dispensing the first substrate.

14. The combination of claim 11 wherein the dispensing opening comprises a first opening having a converging region connected by a slit to a second opening.

15. The combination of claim 14 wherein the second opening is smaller than the first opening.

16. The combination of claim 11 wherein the container opening or the dispensing opening or both are covered by a cover.

17. The combination of claim 16 wherein the cover comprises a removable perforated portion of the enclosure.

18. The combination of claim 16 wherein the cover comprises a plug.

19. The combination of claim 11 wherein the container opening is located in the top and the dispensing opening is located in the sidewall.

20. The combination of claim 11 wherein the container comprises a shoulder for supporting the container when placed into the container opening.

21. The combination of claim 11 wherein the container comprises a retaining groove for securing the container within the container opening.

22. The combination of claim 11 wherein the cylindrical body comprises an upper rib and a lower rib.

23. The combination of claim 11 wherein the diameter D is less than about 6 inches.

24. The combination of claim 11 wherein the container comprises a removable end attached to the cylindrical body and the removable end is tapered.

25. The combination of claim 11 wherein the entire container is enclosed by the core until removed and placed within the container opening.
