Abstract

An array of toilet tissue products comprising first and second packages, where first package conveys one of strength and softness, and where the second package conveys something different than the first package. Lint, basis weight, total dry tensile, absorbency, and softness are common intensive properties of the first and second toilet tissue products and one or more of these common intensive properties can be different between the first and second toilet tissue products.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An array of toilet tissue products comprising:
a first toilet tissue product and a second toilet tissue product, wherein each of lint, basis weight, total dry tensile, absorbency, and softness are common intensive properties of the first and second toilet tissue products, the first toilet tissue product exhibiting a first lint value, a first basis weight, a first total dry tensile, a first absorbency value, and a first softness value and the second toilet tissue product exhibiting a second lint value, a second basis weight, a second total dry tensile, a second absorbency value, and a second softness value;
wherein at least one of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 5% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively;
wherein the first toilet tissue product is housed within a first toilet tissue product package comprising a first conveyance of at least one of strength and softness; and wherein the second toilet tissue product is housed within a second toilet tissue product package comprising a second conveyance that is different from the first conveyance;
wherein the first and second toilet tissue product packages are separate from each other such that the first toilet tissue product package is displayed on a store shelf separate from the second toilet tissue product package such that a consumer desiring to purchase one of the first and second toilet tissue products has the opportunity to choose one of the first and second toilet tissue products; and
wherein the first and second toilet tissue product packages each comprise a common single source identifier.

2. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein the array further comprises a third toilet tissue product package comprising a third toilet tissue product, wherein the third toilet tissue product is single-ply.

3. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 2 , wherein the third toilet tissue product comprises a common intensive property that has a different value than each of the first and second toilet tissue products.

4. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 3 , wherein the array further comprises a fourth toilet tissue product package comprising a fourth toilet tissue product, wherein the fourth toilet tissue product is single-ply, and wherein the fourth toilet tissue product comprises a common intensive property that has a different value than at least one of the first and second toilet tissue products.

5. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein the common single source identifier comprises a trademark.

6. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein the first package comprises a non-verbal cue that connotes strength.

7. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein the second package comprises a non-verbal cue that connotes softness.

8. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second packages further comprises a representation of a texture present on the toilet tissue product within the package.

9. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein the first and second toilet tissue products are priced differently.

10. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second packages further comprises information about other toilet tissue products within the array.

11. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second packages further comprises information about various roll sizes in which the toilet tissue product within the package is available.

12. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein the array comprises dry and wet toilet tissue products.

13. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least two of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 5% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively.

14. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least three of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 5% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively.

15. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 10% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively.

16. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least two of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 10% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively.

17. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least three of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 10% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively.

18. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 15% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively.

19. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least two of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 15% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively.

20. The array of toilet tissue products of claim 1 , wherein at least three of the first lint value, the first basis weight, the first total dry tensile, the first absorbency value, and the first softness value is at least 15% different than the second lint value, the second basis weight, the second total dry tensile, the second absorbency value, and the second softness value, respectively.
