Systems for producing a strip of pouches are provided. A guide device is configured to receive a packaging material web, the packaging material web comprising a plurality of cover sections extending in a longitudinal direction of the packaging material web and having a transmission of less than 60% in the visible frequency range, a transparent material area with a transmission of greater than 80% in the visible frequency range extending in the longitudinal direction parallel to the cover sections and a plurality of data sections. A printing device is configured to apply data to the data sections and an application device is configured to apply an information unit to the cover sections. Methods for producing a strip of pouches are also provided.

A blister assembly comprises at least one collapsible blister adapted, as it is collapsed, to eject a liquid contained therein. The blister assembly comprises a first layer (130) having at least one blister chamber (150) and a second layer (131) sealed to the first layer at least around a periphery of the at least one blister chamber such that a liquid is contained between the first layer and the second layer. The seal between the first and second layers comprises a first planar portion having a first peel strength and a second planar portion having a second peel strength, wherein the first peel strength is greater than the second peel strength, such that when pressure is applied to the blister, the second portion of the seal breaks to release the liquid contained within the chamber into the liquid inlet. The blister assembly further comprises at least one discontinuity (142) formed in the first and second layers in the region of the first portion of the seal, such that a shear force is required to delaminate the first and second layers in that region.

A process for making a water-soluble pouch includes providing a first water-soluble film and conveying it along a first direction, forming a first and a second cavities in the first water-soluble film, and filling the first and second cavities with at least a first and second detergent composition respectively. While forming the first and second cavities, the first cavity is separated from the second cavity by a linking portion along a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. A distance measured along the second direction between any point comprised in the first cavity and any point comprised in the second cavity is at least 0.5 cm. The second cavity has a second maximum length along the first direction and a second maximum width along the second direction. An aspect ratio between the second maximum length and the second maximum width is at least 1:1.
