A container for a stack of interfolded tissue-sheets has a generally planar top wall, a bottom wall, side walls and an opening provided in the top wall for the removal of tissue-sheets from the container. The opening is provided with elements for presenting the tissue, preferably in the form of elongated projections, extending in-between each other from opposite sides of the opening in a first, inactive position. Adjacent projections are spaced apart both in the first, inactive position, in which the projections are substantially in the same plane as the top wall, and in a second, active position, in which the projections are raised and impart a primary wave-shape to a tissue sheet in a presentation position. The opening has a main axis with a predetermined curvature, which opening imparts a secondary wave-shape to the tissue sheet in the presentation position when the projections are in the second, active position.

1. A container for a stack of interfolded tissue-sheets (T), said container having a generally planar top wall and a bottom wall and side walls connecting said bottom wall with said top wall and an opening provided in at least said top wall for the removal of said tissue-sheets (T) from the container, said stack (T) of interfolded tissue-sheets being placed in said container with at least a pair of edges of a lowermost tissue-sheet placed on said bottom wall and an uppermost tissue-sheet (T1) placed near or in contact with the top wall and adjacent to the opening in the top wall, said opening being provided with projections for presenting the tissue; said projections being elongated and extending in-between each other from opposite sides (x, y) of the opening in a first, inactive position, such that a projection from one side is adjacent to a projection from an opposite side, whereinadjacent projections are spaced apart both in the first, inactive position, in which the projections are substantially in the same plane as the top wall, and in a second, active position, in which the projections are raised and impart a primary wave-shape to a tissue sheet in a presentation position, the opening has a main axis with a predetermined curvature, which opening imparts a secondary wave-shape to said tissue sheet in the presentation position when the projections are in the second, active position, the curvature of the main axis has a substantially closed circular shape, with the ends of the opening placed at a short distance from each other, and the circular main axis encompasses an arc of up to 300°. 2. The container according to claim 1, wherein the length of the curved main axis is substantially equal to or less than the total width of the tissue.3. The container according to claim 1, wherein the curvature of the main axis has an arc shape.4. The container according to claim 1, wherein the curvature of the main axis has a substantially closed oval shape.5. The container according to claim 1, wherein the distance between adjacent projections in their inactive positions is substantially constant around the entire periphery thereof.6. The container according to claim 1, wherein the distance between the projections in their inactive positions is larger between adjacent side edges than between a tip and its opposing edge.7. The container according to claim 1, wherein each projection is tapering towards its tip.8. The container according to claim 1, wherein the distance between the projections varies, each projection having a narrower section between its tip and base.9. The container according to claim 1, wherein the container is provided with a lid which is opened to expose the opening in the top wall.10. The container according to claim 9, wherein the lid is removable.11. The container according to claim 9, wherein the lid is recloseable.
