A package made of a single rectangular sheet of flexible material which has both a main product compartment and an ancillary compartment. The main compartment is filled with product stacked in columns separated by a grid of cardboard or similar material and thereafter sealed. The main compartment also has a tear strip for providing a dispensing opening in the side of the compartment for removing the product units one at a time from the columns. The ancillary compartment being made of flexible material can be folded down and secured in a collapsed position so that the package can be shipped without adding additional shipping volume. The ancillary compartment is also open at its axial end to allow the insertion and removal of ancillary materials in route to the end user. Means, such as a drawstring, are provided to repeatedly open and close the ancillary compartment without damaging the package.
