A packaged oral care implement (1000) and method of opening the same. In one embodiment, the package (2000) has a first panel (100) that includes a pre-weakened line (103) including at least two portions (103A, 103B) of differing non-zero shear strengths so that an easy as open location (106) is provided.

A multi-layer film and a film package made from the film are described herein that provide resealing capabilities by utilizing a tacky layer within the multi-layer film. The multi-layer film can include an outer film portion including the embedded tacky layer and an inner film portion. An opening feature formed in the multi-layer film includes a flap configured to be manipulated by a user to create an opening through the multi-layer film. The inner film portion can include a release layer configured specifically to interact with the tacky layer to provide a desired separation peel force and resealing functionalities. The outer film portion can include an outer film layer disposed on an opposite side of the tacky layer from the release layer that is configured to permanently adhere to the tacky layer.

A packaging body for absorbent articles which can further attract an attention of a user and can increase a desire of purchase of the user is provided. The packaging body for absorbent articles includes absorbent articles and a bag-shaped packaging sheet for packaging a plurality of absorbent articles. The packaging sheet includes a surface constituting an outer surface of the packaging body, and a back surface that constitutes an inner surface of the packaging body and comes into contact with the absorbent articles. The surface of the packaging sheet has a plurality of surface recesses formed so as to be recessed toward the back surface side and the back surface of the packaging sheet has a plurality of back surface recesses formed so as to be recessed toward the surface.

A package formed of flexible polymeric film and having a line of weakness to facilitate opening of the package and to demarcate a package base and a package hood is disclosed. The package hood may be configured so as to serve as an effective package reclosure device whereby the package may be used to store the unused supply of articles following opening.

A flexible packaging laminate is formed to have a built-in opening and reclose feature by forming the laminate as a two-part structure having an outer structure joined in face-to-face relation with an inner structure. Score lines are formed in both structures to enable an opening to be formed through the laminate by lifting an opening portion (e.g., a flap or the like) of the two structures out of the plane of the laminate. The score line through the outer structure defines a larger opening than the score line through the inner structure, such that a marginal region of the outer structure extends beyond the edge of the opening portion of the inner structure. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is used to re-adhere the marginal region to an underlying surface of the inner structure adjacent the opening through the laminate.

A package containing a stack of folded disposable absorbent articles, the package being formed of flexible polymeric film, and having a path of perforations or scoring defining a hood opening structure, is disclosed. The hood opening structure may be configured to open proximate the fold noses of the articles for easy tactile identification, grasping and withdrawal of individual ones thereof, and may be configured so as to serve as an effective package reclosure device whereby the package may be used to store the unused supply of articles following opening. The package, and printed commercial artwork and product information on the package surfaces, may be configured such that the fold noses are disposed at the apparent bottom of the package, for improved standing stability when the package is shelved.

To provide a film-packaged tissue excellent in extracting tissue paper from a take-out port.

The problem is solved by a film-packaged tissue having a pop-up type bundle of sheets of tissue paper packaged by a resin packaging film, in which the film-packaged tissue has: ring-shaped take-out port forming perforations formed in a bundle longitudinal direction on a top surface thereof; and a slit or a perforation that is continuous with or close to an edge of the take-out port forming perforations in the longitudinal direction, extends parallel to or in a direction away from a center line extending in a short direction at the center of the take-out port forming perforations in the longitudinal direction, and does not reach an edge of the top surface.

A resealable package assembly is described. The package assembly includes a selectively positionable flap that covers an aperture or enables access through the aperture into the package. The flap and package include provisions for releasably engaging the flap to the package to seal the interior of the package. Provisions for grasping the tab and indicating whether tampering has occurred are also described.

The disclosed packaging bags may include a flexible front sidewall and a flexible rear sidewall with at least a first closed edge, second closed edge, and third closed edge coupling the front sidewall to the rear sidewall. A perforation may be formed through the flexible front sidewall and the flexible rear sidewall along the first closed edge. The perforation may extend in a first segment from the first closed edge toward a central region of the packaging bag, in a second segment in a direction along the first closed edge, and in a third segment back to the first closed edge. The second segment may include at least one elongated ventilation slit. Various other related packaging bags and methods are also disclosed.

The invention comprises, in an embodiment, a resealable packaging structure comprising a container having a bottom and at least one sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, wherein the sidewall terminates in a flange. A flexible resealable lid is sealed to the flange. The lid comprises a polyethylene terephthalate layer disposed adjacent the flange, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed adjacent the polyethylene terephthalate layer, and an oriented polypropylene layer disposed adjacent the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The polyethylene terephthalate layer comprises a laser scored line which penetrates through the thickness of the inner layer but not through the outer layer and defines an opening portion that can be lifted out of the plane of the inner layer, thereby creating an opening through the lid defined by the laser score line.
