Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides a new package for wipes that has improved storage and dispensing, as well as compactness and reliability. The package includes a flexible pouch for storing product, a rigid flip top, and a hinge that allows the lid to be opened and closed. The lid has a catch and a latch that secure the lid closed. The hinge allows the lid to move throughout a first open position and maintain a second open position with a greater arc. The pouch and lid can be transparent or translucent to show the quantity of wipes remaining in the container. The package is made of various polymers, copolymers, and mixtures."
Problems solved by technology
However, the dispensing of wipes from such conventional containers for wipes has not been completely satisfactory.
For example, many conventional containers are not compact and easy to transport while also being reliable and easy to store and dispense wipes, in either a reach-in or pop-up format, in a same package container.
