Disclosed are stacks of absorbent sheets, such as paper towels, toilet tissue, napkins, facial tissue, and the like. The stacks generally comprise a plurality of absorbent sheets bound by compressing the sheets to form a binding element. The binding element is generally free from adhesives or mechanical fasteners, and acts to bind the sheets to one another and form the 5 stack. The binding element may be disposed along only a portion of the stack or may extend continuously across a first dimension of the stack. Binding the stack in this manner generally results in individual sheets arranged in facing arrangement with one another without an adhesive disposed between them and as such the entire sheet may be used once it is dispensed from the stack. L'invention concerne une pile de feuilles absorbantes, telles que des essuie-tout, du papier hygiénique, des serviettes, des mouchoirs et analogues. Les piles comprennent généralement une pluralité de feuilles absorbantes liées par compression des feuilles pour former un élément de liaison. L'élément de liaison est généralement exempt d'adhésifs ou de fixations mécaniques, et sert à lier les feuilles les unes aux autres et à former la pile. L'élément de liaison peut être disposé le long d'une partie seulement de la pile ou peut s'étendre en continu sur une première dimension de la pile. La liaison de la pile de cette manière permet généralement d'obtenir des feuilles individuelles disposées en vis-à-vis l'une avec l'autre sans adhésif disposé entre elles et, en tant que telle, la feuille peut être utilisée en entier une fois qu'elle est distribuée à partir de la pile.
