A universal cover for hygiene cloth dispensers includes a flexible pouch for holding hygiene cloths stored in a plurality of different hygiene cloth dispensers. The flexible pouch has a top wall, a bottom wall, and an interior space between the top and bottom walls. The universal cover includes a seam that can be opened to an open position and resealed to a closed position to connect the top wall to the bottom wall. The open position defines a refill opening for receiving the different hygiene cloth dispensers. A dispensing opening is formed in the top wall of the universal cover. The dispensing opening is reinforced against deformation due to exposure to moisture, body oils, dirt, and stretching. The dispensing opening is sized such that different sized movable and non-movable covers of at least two different commercial hygiene cloth dispensers are accessible through the dispensing opening.

Protective covers and methods of manufacturing same. One such cover comprises a composite sheet having a first end, a second end, a first lateral edge extending between the first and second ends, a second lateral edge extending between the first and second ends, and an axis extending between the first and second lateral edges. First and second panels of the composite sheet each comprise a substrate formed from a nonwoven material, a first layer of plastic film disposed on the substrate such that at least a portion of the first layer is slidable relative to the substrate; and a second layer of plastic film disposed on the substrate such that at least a portion of the second layer is slidable relative to the substrate. The composite sheet is folded about the axis and a partially enclosed space is defined between the first and second panels.

Pet owners cannot tactilely examine, or experience food contained in rigid packaging. This product experience at the point of purchase requires pliable or flexible packaging. However, pliable or flexible packaging has limited ability to stack, both on the store shelf, as well as in the pet owner's pantry. Provided is a multi-functional container for moist or wet, textured food. The container has rigid sidewalls, a bottom with at least a portion made from a flexible or pliable material or membrane or that provides access to a bag of a flexible or pliable material or membrane, and a lid to seal the opening of the container or the bag. Since the food contacts the flexible or pliable material or membrane, it can be tactilely examined at the point of purchase. If the material or membrane is transparent, the food can also be visibly examined at the point of purchase.
