Abstract

A package dispenser includes a bottom wall, a top wall, first and second side walls that are opposite each other, that extend in a height direction of the package dispenser, and that are parallel to a length direction of the package dispenser, and first and second end walls that are opposite each other, that extend in the height direction of the package dispenser, and that are parallel to a width direction of the package dispenser. The bottom wall, the top wall, the first and second side walls, and the first and second end walls together delimit a storage space containing at least one stack of wipes. The top wall includes a handle. A first set of intermittent cuts is formed in at least the top wall. The first set of intermittent cuts delimits a first removable panel configured to be removed to form a first dispensing opening.
