A container for wipes includes a dispenser housing. The housing defines top and bottom walls, first and second side walls, and first and second end walls. The walls collectively define an interior space. The top wall includes a dispensing orifice which is covered by a lid assembly. The lid assembly includes a ring and a flip top. The ring is permanently affixed to the top wall, and the flip top is hingedly connected to the ring. The ring has an upper portion and a buffering flange. The upper portion generally extends along the dispensing orifice perimeter. In one embodiment, the buffering flange protrudes from the upper portion into the interior space, and a height of the buffering flange is greater than a thickness of the top wall. In another embodiment, the buffering flange protrudes from the upper portion into the interior space past the inner surface of the top wall.

1. A container for moist wipes, the container comprising: a dispenser housing defining a top wall spaced apart from and generally parallel to a bottom wall, a first side wall spaced apart from and generally parallel to a second side wall, and a first end wall spaced apart from and generally parallel to a second end wall, wherein all of the walls collectively define an interior space, wherein the top wall includes a dispensing orifice through which wipes can be extracted from the interior space, wherein the top wall is spaced apart from the bottom wall in a height dimension, the interior space having an interior space height that extends from an inner surface of the top wall to an inner surface of the bottom wall, the dispensing orifice defining a dispensing orifice perimeter;wherein the dispensing orifice is covered by a lid assembly, the lid assembly comprising a ring and a flip top, the ring being permanently affixed to the top wall, and the flip top being hingedly connected to the ring, the ring having an upper portion and a buffering flange, the upper portion overlapping and generally extending along the dispensing orifice perimeter,wherein the buffering flange is formed integrally with and protrudes from the upper portion into the interior space, wherein a height of the buffering flange is greater than a thickness of the top wall,wherein the first end wall can be removed to provide access to the interior space via a refill orifice. 2. The container of claim 1 wherein the height of the buffering flange is at least 20% greater than the thickness of the top wall. 3. The container of claim 2 wherein the height of the buffering flange is at least 50% greater than the thickness of the top wall. 4. The container of claim 1 wherein the buffering flange defines a buffering flange outer perimeter, wherein a length of the buffering flange outer perimeter is less than a length of the dispensing orifice perimeter, wherein the buffering flange outer perimeter defines a closed loop. 5. The container of claim 1 wherein the refill orifice is partially bordered by at least one end flange, the end flange extending from the top wall toward the bottom wall and terminating at an end flange edge, the end flange being integrally formed with the top wall, wherein the end flange has an end flange height, and further wherein a sum of the end flange height and the top wall thickness is greater than a buffering flange height. 6. The container of claim 1 wherein the refill orifice is surrounded by a continuous end flange, wherein an upper portion of the continuous end flange extends from the top wall toward the bottom wall and terminates at an upper portion edge, the upper portion being integrally formed with the top wall, and wherein a lower portion of the continuous end flange extends from the bottom wall toward the top wall and terminates at a lower portion edge, the lower portion being integrally formed with the bottom wall, wherein the continuous end flange upper portion has a continuous end flange upper portion height, and further wherein a sum of the continuous end flange upper portion height and the top wall thickness is greater than a buffering flange height. 7. The container of claim 1 further comprising a stack of moist wipes stacked upon each other in the height dimension and disposed within the interior space, each moist wipe adapted to be extracted from the interior space through the dispensing orifice. 8. A container for moist wipes, the container comprising: a dispenser housing defining a top wall spaced apart from and generally parallel to a bottom wall, a first side wall spaced apart from and generally parallel to a second side wall, and a first end wall spaced apart from and generally parallel to a second end wall, wherein all of the walls collectively define an interior space, wherein the top wall includes a dispensing orifice through which wipes can be extracted from the interior space, wherein the top wall is spaced apart from the bottom wall in a height dimension, the interior space having an interior space height that extends from an inner surface of the top wall to an inner surface of the bottom wall, the dispensing orifice defining a dispensing orifice perimeter;wherein the dispensing orifice is covered by a lid assembly, the lid assembly comprising a ring and a flip top, the ring being permanently affixed to the top wall, and the flip top being hingedly connected to the ring, the ring having an upper portion and a buffering flange, the upper portion overlapping and generally extending along the dispensing orifice perimeter,wherein the buffering flange is formed integrally with and protrudes from the upper portion into the interior space past the inner surface of the top wall,wherein the first end wall can be removed to provide access to the interior space via a refill orifice. 9. The container of claim 8 wherein the top wall includes a top wall flange integrally formed with the top wall, the top wall flange surrounding the dispensing orifice and extending into the interior space, wherein the buffering flange extends into the interior space further than the top wall flange extends into the interior space. 10. The container of claim 9 wherein the buffering flange extends past the top wall flange by at least one millimeter. 11. The container of claim 8 wherein the buffering flange defines a buffering flange outer perimeter, wherein a length of the buffering flange outer perimeter is less than a length of the dispensing orifice perimeter, such that the buffering flange fits snugly into the dispensing orifice, and wherein the buffering flange outer perimeter defines a closed loop. 12. The container of claim 8, wherein the refill orifice is partially bordered by at least one end flange, the end flange extending from the top wall toward the bottom wall and terminating at an end flange edge, the end flange being integrally formed with the top wall, wherein the end flange has an end flange height, and further wherein a sum of the end flange height and the top wall thickness is greater than a buffering flange height. 13. The container of claim 8, wherein the refill orifice is surrounded by a continuous end flange, wherein an upper portion of the continuous end flange extends from the top wall toward the bottom wall and terminates at an upper portion edge, the upper portion being integrally formed with the top wall, and wherein a lower portion of the continuous end flange extends from the bottom wall toward the top wall and terminates at a lower portion edge, the lower portion being integrally formed with the bottom wall, wherein the continuous end flange upper portion has a continuous end flange upper portion height, and further wherein a sum of the continuous end flange upper portion height and the top wall thickness is greater than a buffering flange height. 14. The container of claim 8, wherein the container further comprises a stack of moist wipes stacked upon each other in the height dimension and disposed within the interior space, each moist wipe adapted to be extracted from the interior space through the dispensing orifice.
