Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0061458A1] A flexible package (10) for containing and dispensing sheet products (16), such as facial tissues, premoistened wet wipes, and the like is disclosed. The package comprises a single, unitary piece of polymer film formed to define a pocket having a back face, a front face, two opposing longitudinal edges formed by a fold. Two sealed regions (32) are disposed near two opposing side edges (28), and a flexible flap (30) is hingedly rotatable from a first closed position generally about one of the longitudinal edges, the flap covering at least a portion of the front face when in the first position. The flap has a transverse centerline and at least one line of weakness (34) disposed on either side of the centerline inboard of the side edges, the lines of weakness allowing a portion of the flap to be frangibly fixed in the first position. A method of forming the package of the present invention is also disclosed.
