ABSTRACT:
A stack of interleaved towels is provided wherein each towel is configured from a sheet of material having a first fold to generate a first panel, a second fold in the sheet substantially parallel to the first fold and creating a second panel, and a third fold substantially parallel to the first and second folds and creating a lead flap and a trailing flap. The lead flap is defined between the first fold and the third fold such that the first fold presents a leading edge for grasping by a user. The trailing flap is defined between the second fold and the third fold. Prior to interfolding, the first panel is positioned directly adjacent the second panel. Additionally, the trailing flap of each sheet of material is disposed between the lead flap and the trailing flap of an adjacent sheet of material such that the sheets of material are interleaved.
