Abstract

The present invention is an array of sanitary tissue products. The array of sanitary tissue products comprises a first packaged article and a second packaged article. The first packaged article comprises a first rolled sanitary tissue product wound onto a first fibrous core. The second packaged article comprises a second rolled sanitary tissue product wound onto a second fibrous core. The second rolled sanitary tissue product is wound loosely relative to the first rolled sanitary tissue product. The second fibrous core has an axial strength greater than the first fibrous core.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An array of sanitary tissue products, the array comprising:
a first packaged article, the first packaged article comprising a first rolled sanitary tissue product wound onto a first fibrous core;
a second packaged article, the second packaged article comprising a second rolled sanitary tissue product wound onto a second fibrous core, the second rolled sanitary tissue product being wound loosely relative to the first rolled sanitary tissue product; and,
wherein the second fibrous core comprises a liner having a liner basis weight and a fluted layer having a fluted layer basis weight, wherein the liner basis weight is relatively higher than the fluted layer basis weight, and wherein the fluted layer and the liner are helically wound defining a longitudinal core axis, and wherein the fluted layer and the liner are in the form of a strip, wherein the strip comprises a leading edge, a trailing edge opposite the leading edge, and a strip axis substantially parallel to at least one of the leading edge and the trailing edge, and wherein the leading edge overlaps the trailing edge to form an overlap portion and a seam on an outer surface of the fibrous core and further wherein the strip comprises at least one compressed portion having a width measured from at least one of a first edge and a second edge toward the strip axis, wherein a plurality of flutes in the at least one compressed portion are compressed.

2. The array of claim 1 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product are both paper towel products.

3. The array of claim 1 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product are both bath tissue products.

4. The array of claim 1 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product is a paper towel product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product is a bath tissue product.

5. The array of claim 1 , wherein the first fibrous core comprises a first indicia and the second fibrous core comprises a second indicia, and wherein the first indicia is different from the second indicia.

6. The array of claim 1 , wherein the first fibrous core comprises a first indicia and the second fibrous core comprises a second indicia, and wherein the first indicia is the same as the second indicia.

7. A shelf display in a retail environment, the shelf display comprising a shelf holding an array of sanitary tissue products, the array comprising:
a first packaged article, the first packaged article comprising a first rolled sanitary tissue product which is wound onto a first fibrous core;
a second packaged article, the second packaged article comprising a second rolled sanitary tissue product which is wound onto a second fibrous core, the second rolled sanitary tissue product being wound loosely relative to the first rolled sanitary tissue product; and,
wherein, the second fibrous core has core comprises a liner having a liner basis weight and a fluted layer having a fluted layer basis weight, wherein the liner basis weight is relatively higher than the fluted layer basis weight, wherein the fluted layer and the liner are helically wound defining a longitudinal core axis, and wherein the fluted layer and the liner are in the form of a strip, wherein the strip comprises a leading edge, a trailing edge opposite the leading edge, and a strip axis substantially parallel to at least one of the leading edge and the trailing edge, and wherein the leading edge overlaps the trailing edge to form an overlap portion and a seam on an outer surface of the fibrous core and further wherein the strip comprises at least one compressed portion having a width measured from at least one of a first edge and a second edge toward the strip axis, wherein a plurality of flutes in the at least one compressed portion are compressed.

8. The shelf display of claim 7 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product are both paper towel products.

9. The shelf display of claim 7 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product are both bath tissue products.

10. The shelf display of claim 7 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product is a paper towel product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product is a bath tissue product.

11. The shelf display of claim 7 , wherein the first fibrous core comprises a first indicia and the second fibrous core comprises a second indicia, and wherein the first indicia is different from the second indicia.

12. The shelf display of claim 7 , wherein the first fibrous core comprises a first indicia and the second fibrous core comprises a second indicia, and wherein the first indicia is the same as the second indicia.

13. The shelf display of claim 11 , wherein the at least one of first indicia and the second indicia is visible through at least one of the first packaged article and the second packaged article.

14. The shelf display of claim 12 , wherein the at least one of first indicia and the second indicia is visible through at least one of the first packaged article and the second packaged article.

15. An array of sanitary tissue products, the array comprising:
a first packaged article, the first packaged article comprising a first rolled sanitary tissue product wound onto a first fibrous core, wherein the first fibrous core is made from a single face corrugate material; and
a second packaged article, the second packaged article comprising a second rolled sanitary tissue product wound onto a second fibrous core, wherein the second fibrous core is made from a single face corrugate material;
and wherein the second rolled sanitary tissue product being wound loosely relative to the first rolled sanitary tissue product,
and wherein the second fibrous core comprises a liner having a liner basis weight and a fluted layer having a fluted layer basis weight, wherein the liner basis weight is relatively higher than the fluted layer basis weight, wherein the fluted layer and the liner are helically wound defining a longitudinal core axis, and wherein the fluted layer and the liner are in the form of a strip, wherein the strip comprises a leading edge, a trailing edge opposite the leading edge, and a strip axis substantially parallel to at least one of the leading edge and the trailing edge, and wherein the leading edge overlaps the trailing edge to form an overlap portion and a seam on an outer surface of the fibrous core and further wherein the strip comprises at least one compressed portion having a width measured from at least one of a first edge and a second edge toward the strip axis, wherein a plurality of flutes in the at least one compressed portion are compressed.

16. The array of claim 15 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product are both paper towel products.

17. The array of claim 15 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product are both bath tissue products.

18. The array of claim 15 , wherein said first rolled sanitary tissue product is a paper towel product and said second rolled sanitary tissue product is a bath tissue product.

19. The array of claim 15 , wherein the first fibrous core comprises a first indicia and the second fibrous core comprises a second indicia, and wherein the first indicia is different from the second indicia.
