A soft-sided package having an outer wrap and a plurality of sanitary tissue products disposed within the outer wrap is provided. The outer wrap is made from a structured wrap material, and the plurality of sanitary tissues has a structured sanitary tissue.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1 . A soft-sided package comprising an outer wrap and a plurality of sanitary tissue products disposed within the outer wrap wherein the outer wrap comprises a structured wrap material comprising a microembossed film and the plurality of sanitary tissue products comprises a through-air-dried structured sanitary tissue product. 2 . The soft-sided package of claim 1 wherein the outer wrap comprises 1% MD secant modulus to caliper ratio of about 5 MPa/μm or less. 3 . A soft-sided package comprising an outer wrap substantially surrounding a stack of sanitary tissue products, wherein the package comprises a paper stack compressibility to wrap thickness ratio of about 2 per log(gsi) or greater, where the wrap thickness is measured at a compression pressure of 300 gsi. 4 . The soft-sided package of claim 1 wherein outer wrap comprises a wrap thickness, t wrap , of about 4 mils or less at a compression pressure of 300 gsi. 5 . The soft-sided package of claim 1 , wherein the outer wrap comprises 1% MD secant modulus to caliper ratio of about 5 MPa/μm or less. 6 . The soft-sided package of claim 1 , wherein the package comprises a paper stack compressibility to wrap thickness ratio of about 2 per log(gsi) or greater, where the wrap thickness is measured at a compression pressure of 300 gsi 7 . The soft-sided package of claim 1 , wherein the outer wrap further comprises a 1% MD secant modulus to caliper ratio of about 5 or less MPa/μm. 8 . The soft-sided package of claim 1 , wherein outer wrap comprises a wrap thickness, t wrap , of about 4 mils or less at a compression pressure of 300 gsi. 9 . The soft-sided package of claim 1 , wherein the wrap thickness to paper thickness ratio is about 0.35 or less. 10 . The soft-sided package of claim 1 , wherein the outer wrap comprises a wrap bending modulus of about 1800 MPa or less under at a compression pressure of 300 gsi. 11 . A soft-sided package comprising an outer wrap and a plurality of sanitary tissue products disposed within the outer wrap wherein the outer wrap comprises a structured wrap material comprising a microembossed film and a 1% MD secant modulus to caliper ratio of about 5 MPa/μm or less and wherein the plurality of sanitary tissue products comprises a structured sanitary tissue product. 12 . The soft-sided package of claim 11 , wherein the package comprises a paper stack compressibility to wrap thickness ratio of about 2 per log(gsi) or greater, where the wrap thickness is measured at a compression pressure of 300 gsi 13 . The soft-sided package of claim 11 , wherein the outer wrap further comprises a 1% MD secant modulus to caliper ratio of about 5 or less MPa/μm. 14 . The soft-sided package of claim 11 , wherein outer wrap comprises a wrap thickness, t wrap , of about 4 mils or less at a compression pressure of 300 gsi. 15 . The soft-sided package of claim 11 , wherein the wrap thickness to paper thickness ratio is about 0.35 or less. 16 . The soft-sided package of claim 11 , wherein the outer wrap comprises a wrap bending modulus of about 1800 MPa or less under at a compression pressure of 300 gsi.
