1. A method of packaging surgical masks such that said masks can be dispensed one at a time without entangling the tie strings of the masks, the method comprising the steps of:

  • stacking said surgical masks one upon the other;

    gathering said tie strings into columns at each corner of the stack of said masks;

    providing a container having a length that is long enough to permit the tie strings at one end of said stack of masks to be extended toward one end of said container, and a width that is wide enough to permit the tie strings at the other end of said stack to be extended along the sides of said stack toward said end of the container; and

    inserting said surgical masks into said container such that said tie strings will trail loosely behind and at the sides of said stack of masks so as to permit each mask to be freely withdrawn from said container without entangling other masks.
