Benefits of technology

[0007]Without being limited by theory, it has now been surprisingly found that by incorporating a means for releasably storing a vessel (such as a measuring cup) within a bag- or bottle-in-box container, consumer acceptance and usage of bottle- or bag-in-box containers when combined with liquid laundry compositions may be improved. Furthermore, such improved containers can maintain structural stability as well as reduce the potential package cost and environmental impact. Such containers may use potentially up to 80%, 60%, 50%, and / or 40% less plastic than industry standard blow molded polyethylene bottles.

Problems solved by technology

However, such bottle- or bag-in-box containers have not taken into account the particular needs and desires consistent with a container for liquid laundry compositions.

Abstract

Fabric care products having a package useful for storing, dispensing, and / or measuring flowable compositions, including at least one inner container; an outer container at least partially encompassing the inner container; a dispensing means operatively attached to the inner container; and a vessel.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 231,541, filed on Aug. 5, 2009.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to bag-in-box or bottle-in box packages for flowable compositions and methods of use thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Collapsible containers such as foil pouches and mono- or multi-layer thermoplastic laminate bags are well known for storing and dispensing a variety of compositions, particularly liquids and gels. For example, such containers may be used as liners for cartons / boxes for beverages, or may be used in bag-in-box applications. For instance, numerous consumer packaged goods such as wine and fruit juice are currently available on the market in bag-in-box containers. Such containers typically include the thermoplastic laminate bag as a liner and an outer container (formed of for example, corrugated board) that provides structure to the liner to allow for sto...
