Problems solved by technology

Such cartons have their drawbacks.
Flexible containers have been developed for sanitary tissue products but still present undesired limitations.
For instance, current flexible packages lack a premium feel and/or structural features that connotes to consumers high quality and/or tactile properties of the products contained within.
Likewise, current flexible packages are often substantially opaque, precluding a consumer from viewing the contents, or substantially transparent providing no artistic features to connote characteristics about the package contents.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to packages for sanitary tissue products, in particular soft-sided packages for sanitary tissue products.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Sanitary tissue products, such as facial tissue, are typically provided in paperboard cartons or similarly rigid containers. Such cartons have their drawbacks. For instance, consumers often desire a more flexible yet durable package and / or water resistant package, which would permit maintaining sanitary tissue products in more areas (e.g., bathrooms, cars, etc.). Further, manufacturers of sanitary tissue products desire a way to better communicate the properties of their products through the feel of their packaging.[0003]Flexible containers have been developed for sanitary tissue products but still present undesired limitations. For instance, current flexible packages lack a premium feel and / or structural features that connotes to consumers high quality and / or tactile properties of the prod...
