The dispensers can be used in a vertical position, capable of dispensing a sheet in a downward or upward direction when mounted on a wall, for example, or in a horizontal position, capable of dispensing a sheet sideways and/or popup direction. One of the advantages of these dispensers is that it allows a prior art flat top tissue box for use in a vertical position, i.e., standing up on its end, thereby taking even less horizontal space than the cubic tissue box. The invention frees up the dispensing wall, which contains an opening for sheet dispensing, by disposing onto the dispenser systems a peripheral component adjacent to the dispensing wall, configured to provide aid to both dispensing and non-dispensing uses, such as for storage and organizer, for example as a stand for iPad, visual display, promotional, aromatics releaser—all configured next to, over or above the dispensing wall. The invention also provides a dispenser system having a more aesthetic look, for example, a system in which the view of the waiting sheet is masked, removing the cluttering look of the pop-up tissues as seen with the prior art tissue boxes or tissue box covers. The dispenser systems are also made to present as a piece of art suitable for home decoration, including a minimalist dispenser and a sculptural piece of art. The invention also provides a dispenser system which maintains sheets in a condition essentially free of dust by limiting the exposure of the opening and the waiting sheet to the exterior. The dispenser systems make use of novel elements including the use of at least ...
