A shipping system for shipping planar substrates includes a plurality of planar substrates stacked to form a pack and a plurality of interleaving material including substantially spherical beads positioned between the substrates of the pack and configured to carry a load. Substantially all of the beads have a diameter within 25% of D.sub.max, where D.sub.max is a diameter corresponding to a size of an opening of an upper limit sieve used in the shipping system. Also disclosed are a spacer for use in a shipping system for shipping planar substrates, a wrapped system for shipping planar substrates, a method of wrapping a system for shipping planar substrates, and a powder applicator.

An absorbent article has a wearer-facing side and a garment-facing side. The article also has a topsheet on the wearer-facing side; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; an acquisition layer disposed between the absorbent core and the topsheet; and a visual signal viewable from the wearer-facing side of the absorbent article. The visual signal includes a color imparted to the acquisition layer. The article further comprises at least one channel disposed within the absorbent core that is substantially free of absorbent material; and a wetness indicator disposed on the backsheet and viewable from the garment-facing side of the absorbent article.

The present disclosure is directed to a dispensing assembly for dispensing articles, such as disposable eyewear (e.g., face shields, safety glasses, goggles, etc.), face masks, gloves, etc. The dispensing assembly includes a container having a plurality of exterior panels. The exterior panels define an internal chamber and a dispenser opening on the container including a first portion and a second portion defined by a flap on one of the plurality of external panels. The dispensing assembly also includes a folded portion contained within the internal chamber. The folded portion includes a plurality of folded sections configured together and is disposed adjacent an article storage area. The article storage area is configured to receive a plurality of articles. The flap functions as a retention mechanism and the folded portion functions as a ramp to facilitate the removal of an individual article from the article storage area within the internal chamber in an efficient manner.

Array of the present disclosure may comprise packages comprising larger diameter rolls. These packages may weigh the same or less than packages comprising traditional sized rolls and/or these packages may have aisle facing faces that are the same as or smaller than packages comprising traditional sized rolls. The larger diameter rolls may have surprising properties versus traditional rolls: they may be weaker, softer, less firm, generate more lint, etc. than traditional rolls.

A container may include one or more walls and one or more expandable portions. For example, a container may include four walls and a first expandable portion may be movable between a collapsed position and an expanded position. The container may also include a second expandable portion that is movable between a collapsed position and an expanded position. The first and second expandable portions may allow a wall of the container to move between a first position and a second position when the first and second expandable portions are moved between the collapsed position and the expanded position.

Various modular container systems and methods are disclosed. The system can include one or more container modules configured to be pivotably or hingedly connected together. Food items can be placed in individual container modules separately and the container modules can be coupled together to form a portable interlocking unit and the container modules can be pivotably coupled with adjacent container modules.
