Abstract (en)
The present invention is directed to a package (10) for containing at least one unit of a consumer product, preferably at least one detergent tablet, said package being made out of a mono-axially oriented film which is folded and closed by at least one longitudinal seal (12) and two distal seals (11), the package being characterized in that said film orientation is substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal seal (12). In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the package further comprises rectilinear cuttings (13) at the distal sealed extremities (11) of the package and a notch (15) which is located along the package longitudinal seal (12). This notch (15) is for use as a tear-propagating means, which allows an adult to initiate a tear along the film and easily open the package thanks to the orientation of the polymer molecules. Most preferably, the longitudinal seal (12) is flat-folded onto the package surface, and must be unfolded before use of the notch (15). <IMAGE>
