Abstract

Arrays of sanitary tissue products of the present disclosure may comprise a first sanitary tissue product in a first package that conveys strength, absorption, and/or softness, wherein the first package comprises a plastic film in contact with the first sanitary tissue product; and a second sanitary tissue product in a second package that conveys sustainability, wherein the second package comprises a sustainable package material in contact with the second sanitary tissue product. TS7, TS750, lint, slip stick, tensile ratio, VFS, and SST may be common intensive properties of the first and second sanitary tissue products. Further, packages of sanitary tissue products of the present disclosure may comprise a sustainable package material, a brand name, wherein the package conveys sustainability, and an indicia.

Claims (39)

a second sanitary tissue product in a second package that conveys sustainability, wherein the second package comprises a sustainable package material in contact with the second sanitary tissue product;

wherein the second sanitary tissue product comprises a non-wood and has a greater non-wood fiber content than the first sanitary tissue product;

wherein TS7, TS750, lint, slip stick, tensile ratio, VFS, and SST are common intensive properties of the first and second sanitary tissue products;

wherein at least one of TS7, TS750, lint, slip stick, tensile ratio, VFS, and SST of the first sanitary tissue product is at least 5% different than, but within 25% of, the TS7, TS750, lint, slip stick, tensile ratio, VFS, and SST, respectively, of the second sanitary tissue product;

wherein the first and second sanitary tissue product packages are separate from and adjacent to each other;

wherein each of the first and second sanitary tissue product packages comprises a common single source identifier; and

wherein the first and second sanitary tissue product packages comprise different sub-brand name portions and

wherein the second package and the second sanitary tissue product comprise the same non-wood fiber types.

10. The array of sanitary tissue products of claim 7 , wherein the first sanitary tissue product comprises abaca and wherein the second sanitary tissue product comprises bamboo.

11. The array of sanitary tissue products of claim 1 , wherein the first and second packages are immediately adjacent to each other on a shelf.

wherein the package conveys sustainability;

indicia representative of at least portions of at least one of plants and trees overlapping indicia representative of the sanitary tissue product;

a sanitary tissue product comprising a non-wood, the sanitary tissue product being in direct contact with the sustainable package material; and

wherein the sustainable package material and the sanitary tissue product comprise the same non-wood fiber types.

14. The packaged sanitary tissue product of claim 13 , wherein the sustainable package material is selected from the group consisting of paper, recycled plastic, plant-based plastic, recycled paper, cardboard, and combinations thereof.

15. The packaged sanitary tissue product of claim 13 , wherein the sustainable package material and the sanitary tissue product comprise different non-wood fiber types.
