Provided is a film-packaged tissue assembly package in which an outlet forming portion is not unintentionally broken. The problem is solved by a film-packaged tissue assembly package in which a plurality of substantially hexahedron-shaped film-packaged tissues having an upper surface having an outlet forming portion are arranged and packaged in a gusset packaging bag having a grip portion on the top surface side, wherein a plurality of film-packaged tissues are arranged in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in such a manner that the end surfaces face the top surface side where the grip portion is provided, and a bottom surface side facing the top surface side, and the film-packaged tissue is packaged in such a manner that the outlet forming portion has a shape in which an easily tearable line having cut portions and non-cut portions arranged alternately protrude toward the outside, the interval between non-cut portions at one end portion is smaller than the interval between non-cut portions at the other end portion, and the side where the end portion with a smaller interval between non-cut portions is located on the top surface side.

A container blank (1), so sized and shaped as to form a shipping pack having front (2) and rear (3) walls to which there are attached, along respective fold lines (2a,2b,3a), side wall sections (11,12;16,17) each being foldable so that said front and rear walls are in juxtaposed alignment, wherein an interior open-mouthed bag (30) is adhered to the inner surfaces of the front and rear walls. When a shipping pack is erected from said container blank, the folded interior bag (30) is deployed to align with the inner volume of said erected pack so as to provide a lined open-mouthed container to be filled and subsequently sealed for dispatch. The shipping pack is configurable in a folded flat stackable form having an interior bag in situ for storage or dispatch and is easily machine assembled or manually formed into an open-mouthed shipping pack at point of use.

A transport pouch includes a flap portion and a body portion separated from each other by a folding portion. The transport pouch also includes a front panel and a rear panel, an adhesive closure, at least one removable cover, and a form closure. When the flap portion of the transport pouch is folded onto the body portion of the transport pouch, the flap area of the adhesive closure is adhered to the body area of the adhesive closure, and the form closure is closed, the folding portion of the transport pouch acts as a barrier that prevents billowing of the body portion of the transport pouch, caused by a relative pressure increase in the transport space due to a pressure drop in the surroundings of the transport pouch, from tearing open the form closure and thus from tearing open the adhesive closure.

An object is to provide an automatic filling and packaging device which enhances the efficiency of packaging work and which suppresses the occurrence of defective products to achieve satisfactory yield. In an automatic filling and packaging device, a locating means, a pair of upper gusset nails, a pair of intermediate gusset nails, a pair of lower gusset nails, and a blade-equipped sealing device are formed into a unit as a unit main body, and the unit main body and the pusher member are formed to be able to freely move close to and apart from each other. In this way, as compared with a conventional automatic filling and packaging device, it is possible to reduce the total time in which one article to be packaged is filled into one packaging bag and then the opening end portion thereof is sealed, with the result that it is possible to enhance the efficiency of packaging work.

A system and a method for closing, in an automated way, at least one package having a reversibly closeable interlocking element comprising a first complementary element and a second complementary element extending between two extremities. The system includes a pressing element, configured to press the first complementary element against the second complementary element by sliding between the two extremities, and a counteracting element, configured to stop the second complementary element when the pressing element presses the first complementary element against the second complementary element, in such a way that the first complementary element and the second complementary element interlock with each other along their entire length.

A pouched product adapted for release of a water-soluble component therefrom is provided herein. The pouched product can include an outer water-permeable pouch defining a cavity; and a composition adapted for oral use situated within the cavity and comprising a water-soluble component; wherein the outer water-permeable pouch comprises a nonwoven web comprising a biodegradable binder, the biodegradable binder comprising one or more aliphatic polyesters.

An apparatus for sealing a bag opening includes a retaining member and a slide member adapted to slide into said retaining member. The retaining member includes an elongated opening that extends through at least one open end of the retaining member. A bottom stop is provided at an end of the retaining member that is opposite to the open end of the retaining member. Alternatively, the retaining member includes an elongated opening that extends through both ends of the retaining member and the bottom stop is omitted. The slide member includes at least one protruding portion that protrudes from the retaining member when the slide member is slid into and retained by the retaining member. The slide member abuts the bottom stop of the retaining member when such bottom stop is provided within the retaining member. In cases in which the retaining member is provided with two open ends, the slide member may include two protruding portions that protrude from both open ends of the retaining member.
