The present disclosure provides paper wraps, paper wrapped products, such as rolled bath tissue, paper towel products, or bundles of rolled bath tissue or paper towels, and methods for covering a product or bundled products in a paper wrap. For example, printed paper wraps and their use are described, wherein the printed paper wraps comprise at least one heat-sealable adhesive that may be applied in varying locations, coverage levels, and patterns comprising different seal strengths, which may be sealed using heat and/or pressure external to the products for packaging and protective purposes.

Provided is a film-packaged tissue product which allows easy withdrawal of tissues of 3- or more plies. Solution is provided by the film-packaged tissue product which is a bundle of tissues packed with a flexible packaging film made of resin, and has a dispenser-hole forming portion in its top face, wherein the tissues are 3- or 4-ply tissues having a basis weight of 12.5 to 22.5 g/m.sup.2 per ply and a paper thickness of 185 to 285 μm, wherein the dispenser-hole-forming portion is formed with an easy tear line arranged annularly, the easy tear line having alternately arranged cut portions and uncut portions, and the dispenser-hole-forming portion extends widthwise in the top face in a middle of the depth direction, and has an elongated shape with its ends convexing outwards, and arrangements of the cut portions and the uncut portions are different between the widthwise ends, wherein the dispenser-hole-forming portion has a widthwise dimension of 60 to 75% the width of the top face, and the maximum depthwise dimension of 6 to 15% the depthwise dimension of the top face of the film-packaged tissue product.

Disclosed herein are water-soluble films including a polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) resin blend and optionally one or more additional components such as plasticizers, fillers, surfactants, and other additives. Also disclosed herein are articles including the water-soluble film and containing a composition such as a household care composition. The PVOH resin blend includes a PVOH copolymer including one or more types of anionic monomer units such as a PVOH terpolymer and a PVOH polymer such as a partially or completely hydrolyzed PVOH homopolymer. When the PVOH copolymer and PVOH polymer are blended in particular proportions and/or selected with regard to various criteria related to the 4% solution viscosity of one or both of the PVOH polymer(s) and PVOH copolymer(s), the resulting water-soluble film formed from the PVOH resin blend exhibits substantially improved aqueous dissolution properties.

A consumable product package assembly includes at least one consumable product and a package for enclosing the at least one product. The package includes an elongate body portion surrounding the product and a longitudinal seal extending at least partially along the length of the body portion. The seal has a pair of longitudinally spaced notches extending transversely to the distal edge of the seal. The notches define a grasping tab therebetween to initiate tearing of the body portion of the package transversely about the product. The body portion further includes at least one score location extending between the notches to weaken the package thereat to facilitate controlled tearing of the body portion.
