A pack of tissues includes multiple interfolded tissues arranged in a stack and an external envelope enclosing the stack. The external envelope includes a dispensing orifice and the tissues are folded so as to include a leading panel, an optional central panel, a trailing panel, a leading fold and an optional trailing fold, wherein the leading fold separates the leading panel from the central panel and the optional trailing fold separates the optional central panel from the trailing panel. The stack has a first tissue and an second tissue, the second tissue being positioned next to the first tissue in the stack and further away in the stack from said dispensing orifice. The tissues are interfolded so as to have an overlapping portion of the first tissue under a portion of the second tissue. The surface area of the overlapping portions is not constant throughout the stack; preferably it increases with the distance to the dispensing orifice.
