The invention relates to a stack of fan folded material and related systems and processes. The stack includes at least two clips of fan folded material. Each clip includes a plurality of fan folded sheets, with each sheet joined to at least one adjacent sheet by a weakened line. Each clip is joined to an adjacent clip by a last sheet of one clip being separably joined to a first sheet of a succeeding clip.

1. A dispensing system for fan folded material comprising: a dispenser comprising a base and a top enclosing an interior; a stack of fan folded material stored in the interior, the top comprising an opening through which the fan folded material can pass to an external position outside the dispenser wherein the top includes a flexible, rubber-like material, and the opening is formed in the flexible, rubber-like material; the stack of fan folded material comprising: at least two clips of fan folded material; each clip comprising a plurality of fan folded sheets, each sheet joined to at least one adjacent sheet by a weakened line; and each clip joined to an adjacent clip by a last sheet of one clip being separably joined to a first sheet of a succeeding clip. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the opening is formed of a yieldable and pass through resistive material which yieldably and resistively allows sheets of the fan folded material to move from the interior of the dispenser to the external position. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein withdrawal of a sheet through the opening pulls a subsequent adjacent sheet through the opening and the sheet is separable from the adjacent sheet after at least a portion of the adjacent sheet passes through the opening. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the weakened line comprises perforations. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the weakened line is formed in a machine direction of the sheets. 6. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of fan folded sheets comprise fold lines formed in a machine direction of the sheets. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein separably joined comprises adhesively joined. 8. The system of claim 1 further comprising a liquid in combination with the stack of fan folded material, the liquid at an add-on rate of about 25 to about 600 weight percent based on a dry weight of the stack of fan folded material. 9. The system of claim 1 wherein each sheet is folded at least once upon itself. 10. A dispensing system for fan folded material comprising: a dispenser comprising a base and a top enclosing an interior; a stack of fan folded material stared in the interior, the top comprising an opening through which the fan folded material can pass to an external position outside the dispenser; the stack of fan folded material comprising: at least two clips of fan folded material; each clip comprising a plurality of fan folded sheets, each sheet of the clip joined to at least one adjacent sheet by a weakened line wherein the weakened line is formed in a machine direction of the sheets and the weakened line is located at an end of each sheet when such sheet joins the end of the adjacent sheet by the weakened line; and each clip joined to an adjacent clip by a sheet of one clip being separably joined to a different sheet of a succeeding clip. 11. The system of claim 10 wherein withdrawal of a sheet through the opening pulls a subsequent adjacent sheet through the opening and the sheet is separable from the adjacent sheet after at least a portion of the adjacent sheet passes through the opening. 12. The system of claim 10 wherein the weakened line comprises perforations. 13. The system of claim 10 wherein the plurality of fan folded sheets comprise fold lines formed in a machine direction of the sheets. 14. The system of claim 10 wherein separably joined comprises adhesively joined. 15. The system of claim 10 further comprising a liquid in combination with the stack of fan folded material, the liquid at an add-on rate of about 25 to about 600 weight percent based on a dry weight of the stack of fan folded material.
