Description Title of the invention: Recyclable packaging material absorbent articles FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to disposable absorbent articles and their conditioning. operation, more specifically a packaging material for ab- articles disposable sorbents that are recyclable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] — Environmentally friendly products are at the forefront of concerns many consumers are taking a stand at this point in our history. There is an interest increased demand for products that come from sustainable sources. For example, there is a strong market demand to create consumer products that include natural materials, materials derived from biomass and / or recycled materials. Regarding waste disposal, there is an increasing emphasis on products that are biodegradable, compostable, recyclable, reusable and / or that otherwise produce a minimum of waste in landfills.
[0003] In the context of disposable absorbent articles, in particular packaging For disposable absorbent items, there are packaging materials that meet the needs. already meets one or both of these criteria. For example, there are a myriad of articles ab- Sorbs that use cardboard for their shelf packaging. Cardboard, being Given that it is derived from wood pulp, it can be either sustainably sourced and / or recyclable. when the products inside the packaging cannot form a surface Because they are stable on the shelf on their own, cardboard is useful.
[0004] — When disposable absorbent articles can be compressed and form a For a stable surface in radius, a more flexible material is often used, i.e., Plastic. Plastic is generally preferred to cardboard because plastic can withstand to the rigors of a conditioning process far more than cardboard, given the plastic's ability to flex and stretch.
[0005] — In addition, plastic can exhibit barrier properties protecting articles from the inside of the plastic packaging from the ambient humidity. As a For example, many absorbent products on the market use super- polymers These superabsorbent polymers are perabsorbent within their absorbent systems. are designed to quickly absorb and contain liquid attacks towards the item absorbent. Unfortunately, these superabsorbent polymers can also be very effective in absorbing liquid vapor, that is to say, moisture coming from from the environment. This moisture absorbed from the environment can be pro- problematic, especially when absorbent items include moisture indicators. Moisture indicators are used by caregivers and potentially wearers to identify when an absorbent item has absorbed a liquid. When absorbent items are allowed to absorb moisture from the environment without any barrier inhibiting such absorption, these moisture indicators can activate while they are still in the packaging. Given the growing public demand for alternatives to plastic and non-plastic materials, flexible packaging materials with sufficient barrier properties that are derived from natural sources would meet this demand. Such packaging could reduce the likelihood of absorbent items with moisture indicators being prematurely activated while still in the packaging. Summary of the invention The packaging described herein comprises one or more absorbent items and a packaging material made of natural fibers. Each package includes a plurality of panels, including one facing the consumer, in which the packaging is sealed so that the absorbent item(s) are enclosed by the packaging material. Furthermore, the packaging described herein is recyclable. In a specific example, packaging for one or more absorbent articles includes a packaging material, wherein the packaging material comprises natural fibers, in which the packaging comprises a plurality of panels, including a consumer-facing panel, in which the packaging is adhesively sealed such that the absorbent article(s) are completely enclosed within it, in which the packaging material has a water vapor transmission rate under stress conditions "TTVESCC" in accordance with ASTM F1249, as modified herein, which is about 300 g / (m°#day) or less, more preferably about 200 g / (m?*day) or less, or most preferably about 150 g / (m?*day) or less, in which the packaging material is recyclable, and in which the absorbent article(s) include a substantially inactivated moisture indicator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The term "absorbent article" as used herein refers to devices that absorb and contain exudates, and, more specifically, to devices that are placed against or near the wearer's body to absorb and contain the various exudates discharged from the body. Absorbent articles in this description include, but are not limited to, diapers, adult incontinence briefs, training pants, swim pants, diaper retainers, diaper outer covers, absorbent inserts for diaper outer covers, menstrual pads, urinary leakage pads, pads, panty liners, tampons, durable period underwear, and the like. The term "transverse direction of the machine" or "ST", as used here, refers to the path that is perpendicular to the machine direction in the plane of the sheet. The term "machine direction" or "MD", as used here, refers to the path that the material, such as a sheet, follows through a manufacturing process. The term "colorant", as used here, refers to inks, dyes, pigments, or similar, used to create color in a substrate. The term "natural fibers" as used here refers to fibers that include cellulose-based fibers, bamboo-based fibers, and the like. Natural fibers also include non-wood fibers, such as cotton, abaca, kenaf, sabai grass, flax, esparto grass, straw, jute hemp, bagasse, milkweed silk fibers, and pineapple leaf fibers; and wood fibers, wood or pulp fibers such as those obtained from deciduous and coniferous trees, including softwood fibers, such as northern and southern softwood kraft fibers; and hardwood fibers, such as eucalyptus, maple, birch, and aspen.Paper pulp fibers may be prepared in high-yield or low-yield forms and may be pulped by any known process, including kraft, sulfite, high-yield, and other known pulping processes. The natural fibers described herein may be recycled natural fibers, virgin natural fibers, or mixtures thereof. Furthermore, for good mechanical properties in natural fibers, it may be desirable for the natural fibers to be relatively intact and largely unrefined or minimally refined. The fibers may have a Canadian standard draining index of at least 200, more specifically at least 300, more specifically at least 400, and most specifically at least 500. The term "cellulose-based fibers," as used here, may include cellulose fibers such as wood fiber, cotton, regenerated cellulose fibers such as viscose, lyocell, rayon, or copper-ammonium rayon, and high-yield pulping fibers, unless otherwise specified. The term "cellulose-based fibers" also includes chemically treated natural fibers, such as mercerized pulps, chemically stiffened or crosslinked fibers, or sulfonated fibers. Also included are mercerized natural fibers, regenerated natural cellulosic fibers, cellulose produced by microbes, the rayon process, cellulose dissolution and coagulation spinning processes, and other cellulosic materials or cellulosic derivatives. Other cellulose-based fibers included are paper scraps or recycled fibers and high-yield fibers.High-yield pulp fibers are those fibers produced by pulping processes that provide a yield of approximately 65% or more, more specifically approximately 75% or more, and even more specifically approximately 75% to approximately 95%. Yield is the resulting quantity of processed fibers expressed as a percentage of the initial wood mass. Such pulping processes include bleached chemical-thermomechanical pulp (BCTMP), chemical-thermomechanical pulp (CTMP), pressure thermomechanical pulp (PTMP), thermomechanical pulp (TMP), and chemical thermomechanical pulp. (TMCP), high-yield sulfite pulps, and high-yield Kraft pulps all leave resulting fibers with high lignin levels, but are still considered natural fibers. High-yield fibers are well known for their stiffness in both dry and wet states compared to typical chemically reduced pulp fibers. The packaging described herein includes absorbent articles within which a superabsorbent polymer, i.e., "PSA," is contained. The packaging described herein includes a barrier material that reduces the rate of moisture transfer through the packaging material to the PSA of the absorbent articles within the packaging. In addition, the absorbent articles described herein may include a moisture indicator that shows when the absorbent article has been exposed to liquid. The barrier in the packaging described herein slows the absorption of moisture by the absorbent articles within it, such that these moisture indicators can remain inactivated for a significantly longer period of time on the shelf compared to the absence of the barrier material. The inventors unexpectedly discovered that some absorbent articles are more sensitive to absorbing water or moist vapor than others. For example, absorbent articles that include a moisture-sensitive indicator, such as training pants and / or training pants, may be more susceptible to problems in humid environments. These indicators can be triggered in their packaging before use, depending on the environmental conditions in which the product is stored. Furthermore, absorbent articles with high levels of PSA, typically an absorbent and gelling material, can also be problematic in humid environments. For instance, the PSA in these absorbent articles may change color after absorbing moisture, in the form of water vapor, from the environment.Unfortunately, this change in color can similarly cause concern for the wearer or healthcare providers. Furthermore, the inventors unexpectedly found that while a PSA is efficient at absorbing moisture from its environment in the form of water vapor, its water vapor absorption does not continue until the PSA's capacity is exhausted. Instead, the PSA will absorb water vapor for a period of time, for example, weeks under stress conditions (described below), and approaches a steady state. The steady state for the amount of water vapor absorbed by a PSA is much lower than the PSA's overall capacity. Thus, the PSA within the absorbent article always has the capacity to absorb liquid attacks during use. As an example, a steady state might be less than approximately 10 percent of the absorbent item's total capacity. However, even at less than 10 percent, enough water vapor can be absorbed to activate pre-wear wetness indicators and / or cause a color change in the PSA. A myriad of factors can impact the moisture absorption of PSA in an absorbent article. As an example, the inventors, while not wishing to be bound by any one theory, found that cellulose within absorbent articles is not as susceptible to moisture absorption from water vapor as PSA. It is assumed that a cellulose material within the absorbent article does not absorb as much water vapor from the environment as PSA. As such, it is assumed that absorbent articles with a high weight ratio of cellulose to PSA may not absorb as much moisture vapor from the environment as absorbent articles with a lower weight ratio of cellulose to PSA.Similarly, it is assumed that absorbent articles with a high weight or number of grams of PSA per absorbent article can also absorb more water vapor than absorbent articles with a very low weight or number of grams of PSA. For example, menstrual pads typically have much less PSA per item than diapers or training pants. Similarly, menstrual pads typically have much less PSA per item than adult incontinence pads and / or pants. Absorbent products containing more than 5 grams of PSA per item, more preferably 8 grams per item, or more preferably 10 grams per item, are assumed to potentially benefit from the packaging described herein. Furthermore, it is assumed that the amount of air permeability of the absorbent article's backsheet can similarly contribute to or influence the amount of water vapor absorbed by the absorbent substance (AS) while it is in an absorbent article package. For example, an air-impermeable film can provide a high barrier to moisture absorption by an AS while AS-containing articles are in a package. However, for adult diapers, briefs, and incontinence pants with air-permeable films as a backsheet component, it is assumed that such air-permeable films allow moisture to pass through the space between, or diffuse between, adjacent absorbent articles within a package.Furthermore, it is believed that absorbent article packaging materials of the present invention are particularly necessary for absorbent articles comprising air-permeable films as a backing sheet component. Another characteristic that can impact the amount of humid vapor absorbed One application of a packaging material containing a polystyrene-based adhesive (PSA) in an absorbent article is the packaging. While plastic films can provide excellent moisture barriers and prevent the PSA from absorbing moist vapor, they are generally perceived as contaminants in a recycling process designed for natural fibers, such as wood pulp and / or cellulosic materials. However, inventors have unexpectedly discovered a packaging material that comprises a layer of natural fibers and a film coating and is still recyclable. The film layer can be disposed of on an internal or external surface of the natural fiber layer. The film can be plastic or can comprise polymeric materials. In one example, the film could include a polyolefin, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or combinations thereof.For the sake of clarity, the film layer, while probably not recyclable in the same recycling process as the natural fiber, can be recycled through other recycling methods, for example, plastic film recycling, plastic bag recycling. Regarding the recyclability of packaging material, there is no uniform standard that determines a material's recyclability. Generally, the higher the percentage yield of natural material, the greater the likelihood that the material can be recycled. To accommodate a higher percentage yield of natural material, such as wood pulp and / or cellulose, the film's weight percentage relative to that of natural fiber must be significantly lower. For example, the film layer may constitute approximately 40 percent or less by weight of the overall packaging material, more preferably 30 percent or less, or most preferably 20 percent or less, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them.As another example, the film layer may constitute between approximately 3 percent by weight and approximately 40 percent by weight, more preferably from approximately 3 percent by weight to approximately 30 percent by weight, or most preferably from approximately 3 percent by weight to approximately 20 percent by weight, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In one specific example, the film may constitute approximately 5 percent by weight or less of the overall weight of the packaging material, more preferably approximately 4 percent or less, or most preferably approximately 3 percent or less. In another specific example, the film may constitute between approximately 1 percent by weight and approximately 5 percent by weight, more preferably from approximately 1 percent by weight to approximately 4 percent by weight, or most preferably from approximately 1 percent by weight to approximately 3 percent by weight. The surface mass of the conditioning material can have a mass surface mass between 50 g / m² and 120 g / m², more preferably between 60 and 105 g / m², or most preferably between 70 and 90 g / m², specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The surface mass can be determined using ISO 536 as modified herein. The film's surface mass must be at least approximately 2 g / m². It is assumed that below this surface mass, the film may not cover a sufficient portion of the bag to provide adequate barrier properties. However, apart from the above, the film can have any suitable surface mass, provided that the film's surface mass falls within the weight percentages described above. It is worth noting that the laminated, coated, or otherwise bonded film to the natural fiber layer forms a synergistic relationship, particularly when a smaller percentage by weight of the overall packaging material is desired. For example, when the film represents 5 percent or less by weight of the overall packaging material, it may be a film with a very low basis weight relative to the basis weight of the packaging materials described previously. At this very low basis weight, the film is thought to be unsuitable for reliable processing without being coated, laminated, or otherwise bonded to the natural material layer. Similarly, without the addition of the film, the natural material layer may not be able to provide sufficient inhibition, if any, of the absorption of moist vapor by the PSA within the absorbent articles in the packaging. Regarding a process by which the film can be bonded to the natural fiber layer, an example process is described below. The film layer can be a water-insoluble polymer. The polymer can be obtained from a manufacturer as a prefabricated dispersion / emulsion, or a dispersion / emulsion can be formed if a prefabricated dispersion / emulsion is unavailable. The aqueous polymer system is then coated onto the natural fiber layer, and the water (or other solvent, such as alcohol) can then be removed by convection or diffusion drying. Subsequently, sufficient heat can be applied to form a continuous polymer layer. Without limiting ourselves to a theory, the most important material properties of the aqueous polymer system are thought to be: a) the ability of the polymer to emulsify in water; b) the resulting viscosity of the aqueous polymer system at that temperature, with higher viscosity being better for maximum distinction / separation between layers; c) the wetting of the aqueous polymer system on a substrate to be coated, with higher wetting being better. Another example involves thermal extrusion coating. A coating Thermal extrusion is used to apply a composition that is not in an aqueous environment. In this process, the polymer composition is melted within an extruder; the molten polymer composition is thermally extruded onto the surface of the natural fiber layer, followed by cooling to form the packaging material. In yet another example, the film can be applied to the natural fiber layer via adhesive lamination. If this method is used, careful attention must be paid to both the type and quantity of adhesive used, as this could impact the overall recyclability of the packaging material. In such an arrangement, an adhesive layer can be applied directly to the natural fiber layer, and a prefabricated film layer would then be applied over the adhesive layer. A polymer composition can be prepared as a prefabricated film using a variety of processes, including solution casting, thermal cast film extrusion, and thermal blown film extrusion. In yet another example, heat lamination can be used to adhere the polymer film layer to the natural fiber layer. Regarding suitable polymer compositions that can be used in the film layer, there are many that could be either biodegradable or non-biodegradable. Some examples of biodegradable options include aliphatic aromatic polyesters (e.g., BASF's ECOFLEX®), certain thermoplastic starches (e.g., Novamont's MATER-BI or Plantic / Kuraray's PLANTIC®), polybutylene succinate and copolymers thereof (e.g., ShoWa High Polymer Co.'s BIONOLLE® or Mitsubishi Chemicals' PBSA), polycaprolactone, and mixtures thereof. Other suitable polymers include polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) and PHA copolymers such as poly(beta-hydroxyalkanoate), Danimer's poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) NODAX™ and Kaneka's poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) are examples of PHA copolymers. Non-limiting examples include those described in US Patent No. 5,498,692. Other PHA copolymers can be synthesized by processes known to a specialist in the art, such as, from microorganisms, the ring-opening polymerization of beta-lactones, the dehydration-polycondensation of hydroxyalkanoic acid, and the dealcoholization-polycondensation of the alkyl ether of hydroxyalkanoic acid, as described in Volova's "Polyhydroxy Alkanoates Plastic Materials of the 21st Century: Production, Properties, and Application," Nova Science Publishers, Inc. (2004), included herein for reference. Another example is acid polylactic acid (PLA). Additional examples of non-biodegradable options include polyolefin materials, e.g., polyethylene (PE), po- Lypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Examples of polyethylene could include high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, and medium-density polyethylene—including all homopolymers and copolymers of these materials. Other examples of non-biodegradable options could include various Surlyns; styrene-butadiene copolymers, for example, acrylonitrile-butadiene; acrylic copolymers; acrylate copolymers (including methyl methacrylate); and acetate copolymers, including EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate). Polymers could, in some cases, include filler additives such as clays (e.g., kaolin) and other mineral additives such as CaCO3 or TiO2. Ideally, the conditioning materials described herein would provide unlimited protection against the absorption of moisture vapor by the PSA in the absorbent articles within them. However, as explained previously, adding a barrier material to the natural material layer can negatively impact the recyclability of the natural fiber layer. Therefore, a rigorous selection of the barrier material, and consequently of the conditioning material, must be made. The barrier properties of the conditioning material described herein can be measured using ASTM F1249, specifically the moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR). This test can provide useful information regarding the moisture vapor transmission of a conditioning material; however, the test is typically performed at 23°C and 50 percent relative humidity. As noted previously, the inventors have found that some absorbent articles can react negatively with respect to moisture vapor absorption, particularly diaper moisture indicators, at fairly low rates of absorbed moisture, for example, about 6.5 grams. Furthermore, there are several regions globally that do not have conditions like those described above. Instead, these regions have high temperatures and often high relative humidity.Based on the above, the inventors implemented the TTVE test of ASTM F1249 under a stress condition of 38 degrees C and 90 percent relative humidity. The results of this test were the TTVE under stress condition or "TTVESCC". To reduce the likelihood of premature activation of moisture indicators, the inventors unexpectedly found that conditioning materials should have a TTVESCC of approximately 300 g / (m°* day) or less, more preferably approximately 200 g / (m°* day) or less, or most preferably approximately 150 g / (m°* day) or less, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. By way of further example, conditioning materials of the present description may exhibit a TIVESCC value between 20 g / (m°* day) and approximately 300 g / (m°* day), more preferably from approximately 20 g / (m°* day) to approximately 200 g / (m°* day), or most preferably from approximately 20 g / (m°* day) to approximately 150 g / (m°* day), specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In a specific example, the packaging materials of this description may exhibit a TIVESCC value of less than approximately 100 g / (m°* day), more preferably less than approximately 95 g / (m°* day), or most preferably less than approximately 80 g / (m°* day), specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them.In another specific example, the conditioning materials of this description may exhibit a TTVESCC of about 20 g / (m? * day) and about 100 g / (m° * day), more preferably 20 g / (m? * day) to about 95 g / (m° * day), or most preferably about 20 g / (m° * day) to about 80 g / (m° * day), specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In yet another specific example, the conditioning materials of this description may have a TTVESCC of between about 70 g / (m° * day) and about 150 g / (m° * day), more preferably from about 70 g / (m° * day) to about 120 g / (m° * day), or most preferably from about 70 g / (m° * day) to about 110 g / (m° * day), specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. Data for a variety of materials are provided below in Table 1. [Table 1] Sample No. 'Recyclable percentage' . |TTVESCC (g / (m”2 # day)) 95 94.5 81.4 87 Sample No. TTVESCC (g / m²* Percentage of recyclability - Overall Recyclability Score | day)) 1 95 Success = 94.5 Success 3 678 814 [Success E = 87 Success Sample 1 is an 84 g / m² brown kraft paper coated on one side, available from Mondi under the brand name Aegis 95 / 5TM, Sample 2 is a white kraft paper of 84 g / m² coated on one side, available from Mondi under the brand name Aegis 95 / 5TM, Sample 3 is a material coated on one side, available from Mondi under the brand name SustainexTM, Sample 4 is a 67 g / m² material available from the Sappi Group under the Sappi SealTM brand. Of the samples tested (1 through 4) above, the inventors found that only samples 1 and 2 met the prerequisites described herein. Specifically, samples 1 and 2 provided an adequate moisture barrier as described and also had a high percentage of recyclability. It should be noted that samples 1 and 2 are identical except that sample 1 is brown kraft paper and sample 2 is white kraft paper. It is believed that the pigments used in the manufacture of white kraft paper do not negatively impact the paper recycling process or the TTVESCC test. Therefore, it is believed that the TTVESCC score for sample 1 is the same as, or approximately the same as, the TTVESCC score for sample 2. Similarly, it is believed that the recyclable percentage of the packaging material in sample 2 is the same as, or approximately the same as, the recyclable percentage of sample 1.And, while Sample 4 provides a barrier function as described herein, the inventors found that Sample 4 does not meet the mechanical properties described herein. The mechanical properties of the conditioning material of this description are described below. Regarding the inactivated moisture indicator on the packaging of the absorbent article(s) described herein, it is worth discussing the various types of moisture indicators. First, a moisture indicator may appear as the first color when dry and change to a second color when the indicator becomes wet. As more liquid is introduced into the absorbent core of the absorbent article, a larger portion of the moisture indicator changes from the first to the second color. When the absorbent article is completely saturated, the moisture indicator will typically display only the second color. A second type of moisture indicator may involve graphic elements that only appear after moisture has been absorbed by the indicator. For example, in its dry state, the moisture indicator may not be visible or distinguishable from the surrounding color of the absorbent item. In such moisture indicators, as with the first type, once liquid is absorbed by the indicator, a color change may occur, which is visible either through a surface facing the wearer and / or a surface facing the garment. Depending on the amount of liquid absorbed by the indicator, only a small portion may be activated to produce a color change. Alternatively, if a significant amount of liquid is absorbed, a larger portion or the entire indicator may be activated to produce the color change. visible. A third type of moisture indicator involves the disappearance of graphic elements. For example, a graphic element of a full cartoon character might appear when the item is dry. Once the item begins to absorb liquid, the cartoon character will start to disappear. Once the item is saturated, the cartoon character may not appear at all, or most of it may be missing. Based on the preceding discussion concerning moisture indicators, an inactivated moisture indicator is one in which the moisture indicator is substantially available to receive and indicate the level of liquid within the article. For example, in the case of moisture indicators with color change or appearance, a substantially inactivated moisture indicator is one in which 70 percent or more, more preferably 85 percent or more, or more preferably 95 percent or more, of the area of the moisture indicator (i) has the original (dry) color or (ii) has not appeared, specifically citing all values within that range and any range created by it.As another example, regarding vanishing graphic elements, a substantially inactivated humidity indicator is one in which the vanishing graphic element is present at approximately 70 percent or more, more preferably 85 percent or more, or most preferably 95 percent or more, specifically citing all values within that range and any range created by it. It should be noted that when the desired recyclability percentage of the conditioning materials described herein is between 60 and 70 percent, a much more restrictive moisture barrier can be implemented. It is assumed that for such constructions, the film layer may constitute between approximately 30 and 40 percent by weight and may exhibit a TTVESCC of approximately 30 g / (m²*day) or less. When the desired recyclability percentage of the conditioning materials described herein is between 70 and 80 percent, the weight percentage of the film layer may be between 20 and 30 percent by weight. It is assumed that at such rates, the conditioning material described herein may exhibit a TTVESCC of approximately 50 g / (m²*day) or less.When the desired recyclability percentage of the packaging material described herein is between 80 percent and 90 percent, the film layer may constitute between 10 percent by weight and 20 percent by weight. It is thought that at such rates, the packaging material described herein may exhibit a VESCC TT of approximately 80 g / (m²*day) or less. When a desired recyclability percentage of the packaging material described herein is required to be greater than 90 percent, the film layer... The film may constitute 10 percent or less by weight. It is thought that at such rates, the conditioning material of this description may exhibit a TTVESCC of approximately 100 g / (m²*day) or less. The inventors also unexpectedly discovered that the moisture absorption rate could be further reduced through additional packaging. For example, the packaging material described herein can be used as primary packaging. Primary packaging is packaging that contains the absorbent material. Primary packaging is typically what is placed on the shelf and sold to consumers. To ship primary packaging to retailers, secondary packaging may be used. Secondary packaging typically comprises multiple primary packagings within it. To reduce the rate at which moisture is absorbed by absorbent items, this secondary packaging may similarly be lined with a film layer on the inside and / or outside. This internal and / or external film can reduce the rate at which moisture is absorbed by the absorbent items inside the primary packaging. In addition to, or independently of, the film on the secondary packaging, multiple secondary packagings may be shipped together on a pallet. This plurality of secondary packagings may also include a wrapping film that helps stabilize the plurality of secondary packagings.However, in addition to stabilizing multiple secondary packaging layers, this packaging film can also reduce the rate of water vapor absorption within the primary packaging. These pallet stabilization packaging films are well-known in the field and are generally polyolefin-based. Multiple secondary packages can remain wrapped in the outer packaging film until they need to be unwrapped by a product vendor. Similarly, the secondary packages can remain sealed until the primary packages within them are needed. Each secondary package may include packaging information providing instructions regarding the method and / or timing of opening. Such information can help reduce the overall amount of moisture absorbed by the PSA in absorbent articles, as the secondary packages are opened only when necessary. When the packaging described herein presents a sufficient barrier to moisture absorption, the moisture indicators and the PSA within the absorbent articles will have a longer shelf life. For example, it is thought that under stress conditions, i.e., 38 degrees Celsius and 90 percent At a relative humidity level, absorbent articles in the packaging described herein will absorb less than 4.5 grams of moisture per article for a sufficient period of time. Furthermore, absorbent articles in the packaging described herein are expected to absorb less than 7 grams of moisture per article for an even longer period of time. As noted previously, the film in the packaging material described herein is considered a contaminant in the recycling process for materials of natural origin, such as wood pulp and / or cellulose. Unfortunately, in addition to the film, other materials that may be used in the construction of the packaging described herein may also be considered contaminants. For example, the packaging described herein includes seals. These seals ensure that the absorbent items inside the packaging have a reduced probability of contamination from the environment outside the packaging. Furthermore, dyes and / or coatings may be used to provide branding information, background color, and / or packaging information on the packaging.The use of adhesives, coatings and / or colorants is discussed in more detail below. We now turn our attention to the recyclability of the packaging described herein. The recycling process can determine the percentage of recyclable material and also the amount of material rejected—that is, the amount of material that is not recyclable. Some specific examples of standards that can be useful in determining whether a packaging material is recyclable, the percentage of recyclable material, and the percentage of non-recyclable material include the PTS process and the Western Michigan process, each of which is described in more detail below. These processes address the recyclability of materials that include wood fibers and / or pulp fibers. These processes are discussed in more detail below. The conditioning materials of this description may include natural fibers that form a paper. For example, the conditioning material may include at least 50 percent by weight of natural fibers, more preferably at least 70 percent by weight of natural fibers, or more preferably at least 90 percent by weight of natural fibers, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. As yet another example, the conditioning material may include 95 percent by weight of natural fibers. The conditioning materials of this description may include between 50 percent by weight and 100 percent by weight of natural fibers, more preferably between 70 percent by weight and 99.9 percent by weight, or most preferably between 90 percent by weight and 99.9 percent by weight of natural fibers. It should be noted that when the percentage by weight of natural fibers is less than 100 percent, there is room for coatings, dyes, films and / or adhesives, if desired. To increase the likelihood that the packaging material is recyclable, the total weight percentage of non-recyclable material, such as adhesives, film, coatings, and / or dyes, in the packaging material described herein may be carefully selected. For example, the packaging material described herein may comprise 50 percent by weight or less, more preferably 30 percent by weight or less, or most preferably about 15 percent by weight or less, of non-recyclable material, specifically including all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them.As another example, the packaging materials in this description may comprise from about 0.1 percent to about 50 percent by weight, more preferably from about 0.1 percent to about 30 percent by weight, or most preferably from about 0.1 percent to about 15 percent by weight of non-recyclable material, specifically including all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. If an increased probability of recyclability is desired, the percentage by weight of non-recyclable materials may be 5 percent by weight or less, or from 0.1 percent to 5 percent by weight, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The efficiency of the recycling process on the packaging material described herein can be determined by the recyclable percentage. The packaging material described herein may have recyclable percentages of 60 percent or more, more preferably 80 percent or more, or most preferably 90 percent or more, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The packaging material described herein may have a recyclable percentage between 60 percent and about 99.9 percent, more preferably from about 80 percent to about 99.9 percent, or most preferably from about 90 percent to about 99.9 percent, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them.In a specific example, the packaging material of this description may have a recyclable percentage ranging from approximately 90 percent to approximately 99.9 percent, more preferably from approximately 94 percent to approximately 99.9 percent, or most preferably from approximately 96 percent to approximately 99.9 percent, specifically including all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The recyclable percentage of the packaging material in this description can be determined via the PTS-RH:021 / 97 test (Draft Oct. 2019) under category II as implemented by Papiertechnische Stiftung located at Pirnaer Strasse 37, 01809 Heidenau, Germany. Along with the recyclable percentage, the total rejection percentage can be determined by means of the PTS-RH:021 / 97 (Draft Oct. 2019) test procedure under Category II. However, conversely to the recyclable percentage, in order to increase the likelihood of recyclability, the total rejection percentage can be decreased. For example, the total rejection percentage of the packaging material described herein can be 40 percent or less, more preferably about 20 percent or less, or most preferably less than about 10 percent or less, specifically including all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them.For example, the total rejection percentage of the conditioning material in this description may range from 0.1 percent to 40 percent, more preferably from 0.1 percent to 20 percent, or most preferably from 0.1 percent to 10 percent, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In a specific example, the total rejection percentage may be less than 6 percent, or between 0.1 percent and 6 percent, more preferably from 0.1 to 4 percent, or most preferably from 0.1 to 3 percent, specifically including all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. For clarity, the percentage of non-recyclable materials does not necessarily have a 1:1 correlation with the total rejection percentage. For example, the use of soluble adhesives is disclosed here. Since these adhesives are designed to dissolve during the recycling process, it is assumed that they would not impact the total rejection percentage; however, they would contribute to the percentage by weight of non-recyclable material. It should be noted that the test procedure PTS-RH:021 / 97 (Draft Oct. 2019) under Category II includes a tray inspection component. Trained inspectors inspect one or more trays of recycled packaging material for visual imperfections and adhesiveness. If the number of visual imperfections is too high or the material is too sticky, the packaging material is rejected. If the number of visual imperfections is acceptable and the tray is not too sticky, in accordance with the PTS-RH:021 / 97 process (Draft Oct. 2019), then the conditioning material is approved for further processing. The conditioning material described herein can provide an acceptable level of visual imperfections and adhesion during this step of the PTS process. The packaging material described herein can achieve the previously mentioned recyclable percentages and pass the form screening process. Therefore, the packaging material described herein can achieve an overall score or final result of "pass" when subjected to the recycling test process PTS-RH:021 / 97 (Draft Oct. 2019) under Category II. It should also be noted that there is an alternative method for determining the recyclable percentage of the packaging material described herein. The test method implemented by the University of Western Michigan, called the Re-pulping Capacity Test, can provide a percentage yield of recyclable material. The packaging material described herein can achieve a percentage yield, according to the Re-pulping Capacity Test, that is greater than approximately 60 percent, more preferably greater than approximately 80 percent, or most preferably greater than approximately 90 percent, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them.The packaging material described herein may have a percentage yield of between 60 percent and about 99.9 percent, more preferably from about 80 percent to about 99.9 percent, or most preferably from about 90 percent to about 99.9 percent, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In a specific example, the packaging material described herein may have a percentage recyclable material yield of between 80 percent and 99.9 percent, specifically including all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In such an example, the packaging material may have a brown base color.In another specific example, the packaging material described herein may have a recyclable material yield percentage between 85 percent and 99.9 percent, specifically including all values within those ranges and any ranges created by them. In such an example, the packaging material may have a white base color. The base colors of packaging materials are discussed in more detail here. It is envisaged that the packaging material in this description, while being recyclable, may itself contain recycled material. Such a determination can be made from a visual inspection of the packaging material. For example, manufacturers typically advertise the use of recycled materials to demonstrate their environmentally friendly approach to packaging. Further to this example, some manufacturers may use a logo, such as a leaf, accompanied by text to indicate packaging that contains recycled material. Often, manufacturers may Also specify the percentage of recycled material used, for example more than 50 percent, more than 70 percent, etc. Visual inspection can be as simple as using the human eye to inspect packaging for recycled material logos. In addition, or as an alternative, visual inspection can include microscopy techniques such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, or other suitable techniques known in the field. For example, packaging material containing recycled paper fibers might appear different under a microscope due to the presence of a much wider range of natural fiber types than if the packaging material were 100% non-recycled paper. As another example, under a microscope, potentially a scanning electron microscope, recycled fibers, due to their processing, may appear more fibrillated than their virgin fiber counterparts. The packaging material described herein can be arranged as packaging in a myriad of configurations containing one or more absorbent items. For example, the packaging may include a plurality of panels, including a consumer-facing panel. The consumer-facing panel is the side of the packaging, when on the shelf, that faces the consumer. Typically, the consumer-facing panel includes branding and / or packaging information, each of which is described in more detail here. Each of the plurality of panels includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The packaging described herein may include a generally parallelepiped shape. Thus, in addition to the panel facing the consumer, the packaging described herein may also include a rear panel opposite the panel facing the consumer, a left panel positioned between the panel facing the consumer and the rear panel, a right panel opposite the left panel, a bottom panel positioned between the panel facing the consumer and the rear panel, and an opposite top panel. The packaging material may be a single piece. For example, multiple folds may be used to form the plurality of panels in the packaging. To further clarify the example where the packaging is rectangular, at least one fold may be placed between each of the following: (1) the consumer-facing panel and the left panel; (2) the consumer-facing panel and the right panel; (3) the consumer-facing panel and the top panel; and (4) the consumer-facing panel and the bottom panel. Furthermore, at least one fold may be placed between each of: (1) the rear panel and the left panel; (2) between the rear panel and the right panel; (3) between the rear panel and the top panel, and (4) between the rear panel and the bottom panel. As an alternative to the above, the packaging described herein may include a packaging material comprising a plurality of distinct parts. Such configurations are described in more detail here. For packaging that includes a rectangular shape, the consumer-facing panel can generally be positioned perpendicular to a store shelf, while the lower panel can generally lie flat on the shelf or on top of another package. Generally perpendicular, assuming the shelf is perfectly horizontal, means that the consumer-facing panel is at approximately 35 degrees from a vertical orientation. Generally flat, again assuming the shelf is perfectly horizontal, means that the lower panel is at approximately 35 degrees from a horizontal orientation. Alternatively, in some configurations, the consumer-facing panel can be oriented generally horizontally on the shelf and can face the consumer when the consumer views the packaging. Other packaging forms are being considered. Examples of such packaging include tubular packaging or horizontal form-fill-seal packaging. Such packaging may include a generally rectangular shape also configured as described above. However, in some cases, particularly when a small number of absorbent items are included, this packaging may include a consumer-facing panel and an opposite back panel. In such packaging, a hoop seal is formed, as described here, along with end seals. In such configurations, the consumer-facing panel may be oriented generally vertically or generally horizontally.Furthermore, in such packaging, there may be an absence of fold lines that distinguish the consumer-facing panel from the back panel. Instead, there may be a curved surface between these panels. Additional examples are considered where packaging shapes comprising fewer than six panels are formed. The construction, based on these examples, of packagings having a circular or semi-circular shape when viewed from a lower panel is considered. Furthermore, packagings having a triangular shape when viewed from the lower panel are considered. Regardless of the number of panels included in the packagings described herein, Description: The packaging includes a panel facing the consumer. Coatings and dyes Each panel, among the plurality of panels, comprises an inner and an outer surface. The outer and / or inner surface of one or more panels may include dyes and / or coatings, which create a brand indication on the packaging, packaging information, and / or a background color, etc. The brand indication and / or packaging information may be provided on an outer and / or inner surface of at least one panel, for example, the panel facing the consumer. The brand indication may include logos, brand names, trademarks, icons, and the like, associated with the absorbent articles inside the packaging. The brand indication may be used to inform a consumer of the brand of the absorbent articles inside the packaging.As an example, a brand indication for packaging of feminine hygiene sanitary napkins may include the Always® brand name. Packaging information may include the size of the absorbent items, the number of absorbent items inside the package, an example image of the absorbent items contained within the package, recyclability logos, and similar information associated with the absorbent items inside the package. In addition, packaging information may include information about the packaging material itself, such as recyclability logos, certifications from various organizations, or similar information. As an example, packaging information for a package of feminine hygiene pads may include a size indicator, for example, "Size |".Other packaging panels may similarly include a brand indication, packaging information, and / or a background color, along with those associated with the panel facing the consumer. In addition, one or more panels of the packaging described herein may include dyes and / or coatings to provide a background color. To further clarify the background color, it should be noted that the packaging material includes a base color. A base color of the packaging material is the color of the packaging material without dyes and / or coatings. For example, bleached packaging material is white, unbleached packaging material is brown, and packaging material that includes recycled content is gray. A background color is any color that is not a base color, for example, blue, red, green, yellow, purple, orange, black, or other similar colors. combinations of these. However, the background color may also include white, brown, or grey, if the background color is obtained through dyes and / or coatings. As noted previously, the use of dyes and / or coatings can be considered contaminants in the recycling stream. Therefore, the use of dyes and / or coatings must be carefully considered. To reduce the use of dyes and / or coatings, and to facilitate recycling, a base color of the packaging material may be used. For example, packaging where the consumer-facing panel includes a brand indication, packaging information, and / or a background color, while one or more panels include a base color, is considered. In a specific example, the bottom panel and / or the back panel may use the base color of the packaging material instead of a background color. One or more of the bottom panel, top panel, left panel, right panel, back panel, or any combination thereof may use the base color of the packaging material instead of a background color.In another example, the consumer-facing panel, either independently or in conjunction with other panels, may include a base color. Further to this example, the packaging may include absorbent materials containing naturally derived components, such as a cotton sheet and / or chlorine-free pulp in an absorbent core. In such examples, the consumer-facing panel may have a white base color. In this same example, in addition to the base color, the consumer-facing panel may also include a brand name, a background color (associated with the brand name), and / or packaging information. In yet another example, one or more panels may include packaging information, some of which may include a base color.To take this example further, the base color can be a first color, for example white, and a background color can be applied to a panel with a negative image of the conditioning information, such that the conditioning information, or part of it, is not covered by the background color, and the conditioning information includes the first color. In other examples, the seams of the packaging described herein may have less colorant coverage than adjacent areas on the same panel. For example, a portion of a panel that is joined to another portion of the panel to form a seal may include an area of Joint. The joint area may contain less dye or even no dye compared to the adjacent portion of the panel. Each seal may include a joint area that contains less dye or even no dye compared to an area adjacent to the seal. In other examples, a first panel may have a different percentage dye coverage than a second panel. To further illustrate this point, the consumer-facing panel may have a higher percentage dye coverage than another panel in the packaging, such as the bottom panel. As noted, absorbent materials that are of natural origin, such as cotton topsheets or other components, unbleached cores, and no added dyes or fragrances, may be more dependent on the base colors of the packaging material. For example, such packaging may include a consumer-facing panel with a dye coverage of 75 percent or less, more preferably 50 percent or less, or most preferably 40 percent or less.In addition, the consumer-facing panel may include a colorant coverage of between about 10 percent and about 75 percent, more preferably from about 15 percent to about 50 percent, or most preferably from about 20 percent to about 40 percent, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In such packaging configurations, other panels can be configured with a higher percentage of colorant coverage, a lower percentage, or a mixture thereof. For example, in such configurations, a bottom panel may have a lower percentage of colorant coverage. A back panel, a left panel, and / or a right panel may have a higher percentage of colorant coverage or, more preferably, a lower percentage. These same values can also be applied to the tubular packaging configurations described herein. Naturally derived products as described are not necessarily limited to the preceding dye coverages; however, a lower percentage of dye may mean a lower percentage by weight of dye, which may be beneficial from a recyclability standpoint. As another example, packaging of absorbent articles in accordance with this description may include a consumer-facing panel having a dye coverage of 100 percent, more preferably 99 percent or less, or most preferably 98 percent or less. For example, packaging in accordance with The present description may include a consumer-facing panel having a colorant coverage percentage between 60 percent and approximately 100 percent, more preferably from approximately 60 percent to approximately 99 percent, or most preferably from approximately 60 percent to approximately 98 percent. In such configurations, other panels may include the same colorant coverage percentage or, more preferably, may include a lower colorant coverage percentage. The colorant coverage percentage is determined by means of the colorant coverage percentage measurement method described herein. It should be noted that rigorous paper selection may be required to achieve the desired recyclability percentage. For example, inventors unexpectedly found that while dyes and / or coatings may play a very minor role in the overall weight percentage of the packaging material, they do constitute a significant portion of the overall percentage. Thus, when the desired recyclability percentage is 95 percent or higher, it may be advisable to use packaging material with a white base color. When packaging material with a white base color is used, the amount of dye and / or coating can be reduced, as the absorbent product manufacturer may be able to use the base color within the overall packaging color scheme.Such packaging designs can be useful for absorbent articles containing cotton and / or other natural components. When the desired recyclability percentages are less than 95 percent, any suitable base color can then be used. Although any suitable dye can be used, the inventors have surprisingly found that water-based dyes generally dissolve more readily in water during the recycling process. Thus, water-based dyes can facilitate the recycling process for the packaging described herein. Any suitable water-based dye can be used. Water-based dyes are well known in the field. It should be noted that solvent-based and / or energy-curable dyes can also be used. However, the use of these types of dyes can complicate the manufacturing of the packaging material. For example, solvent-based dyes typically release volatile organic compounds that must be removed from the air. Furthermore, solvent-based dyes may contain components that do not readily dissolve in water during the recycling process, which could negatively impact the recyclability of the packaging material. Energy-curable dyes can also be used; however, Just like solvent-based dyes, energy-curable dyes can complicate the processing of packaging material. And just like solvent-based dyes, energy-curable dyes may contain components that are not readily soluble in water during the recycling process, which could negatively impact the recyclability of the packaging material. Any suitable coating used for packaging material can be employed. Coatings can be used to protect the background color, brand indication, and / or packaging information. In addition, re-coatings can be used to provide antistatic benefits, coefficient of friction benefits, and / or appearance benefits (e.g., glossy, matte, satin, high gloss, etc.). Similar to water-based dyes, the inventors have surprisingly found that water-based coatings, when used, can facilitate the recycling process of the packaging material. Suitable re-coatings include varnishes that are well known in the field. Any suitable coating / varnish can be used. Âcel iti. As noted previously, the packaging described herein may also include a plurality of seals. Seals are joints in packaging material that have been joined together. Joints are areas of the packaging where at least two portions of the packaging material have the ability to overlap. Joints are created when at least two portions of the packaging material in the joint are joined together. For example, a bottom panel may include joints where ends of the packaging material overlap. An adhesive may be provided on an inner surface of one portion of the bottom panel and / or on an outer surface of a second portion of the bottom panel, as well as on an outer surface of a base portion of the bottom panel, to create one or more seals.The top panel may include seals where ends of the packaging material are joined together, similar to the seals on the bottom panel. While seals can be provided on any panel of the packaging, it is recommended that a consumer-facing panel not include any seams or seals. Seams and seals can be visually unappealing to consumers. It should be noted that joints may include areas of overlap of packaging material as described previously. That is, an adhesive may be applied to an internal surface of one part of the packaging material and / or an external surface of a second part of the material. Packaging. The first and second parts can then be joined to create an overlap seal. However, butt seals can also be created. Butt seals can be created when an adhesive is applied to the inner surface of a first part of the packaging material and / or to the inner surface of a second part of the packaging material. The inner surfaces of the first and second parts can then be joined to form a butt seal. Butt seals and overlap seals are discussed in more detail below. It should also be noted that while the use of adhesives is described here for forming seals, the barrier material, for example a film layer, can be used independently or in conjunction with an adhesive. For example, when the film layer is polyethylene, seals can be created by heat-sealing the film layer to itself with or without the use of an adhesive. Seals are important to ensure that the packaging described herein has a reduced probability of the absorbent item(s) inside being exposed to the environment outside the packaging material. The use of seals, such as those described herein, can provide adequate sealing of the packaging material so that absorbent items inside the packaging are not exposed to the external environment. Simply folding or laminating the packaging material does not constitute a seal and is insufficient to protect the absorbent item(s) inside from the external environment. To withstand the rigors of shipping, storage, and consumer handling, seals must have the required strength. Several variables complicate the requirement for the necessary seal strength, namely the type of seal and the level of compression of the absorbent material(s) inside the packaging. A further complication is that adhesives are considered non-recyclable. However, inventors have unexpectedly discovered that with careful selection of the adhesive type and its weight percentage, the seal strength requirements can be met while maintaining the recyclability of the packaging material. Regarding the types of seals, the plurality of seals on the packaging described herein may include an access seal, a hoop seal, and a bottom seal. Tubular packaging may also be configured to include these seals. Alternatively, tubular packaging may include a pair of opposing end seals and a hoop seal between the end seals. In this configuration, an access seal can be provided in a similar way. An access seal can be provided as a seal that is opened by the consumer to access the absorbent article or articles inside the package. Access seals are described in more detail in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63 / 089661, filed October 9, 2020, entitled "Absorbent Article Packages with Natural Fibers and Opening Features." The hoop seal can be the initial seal created in the packaging manufacturing process. The hoop seal is described in more detail in Figures 1A and 1B. In some forms, the hoop seal may comprise a plurality of seals, as described in Figures 4A and 4B. The bottom seal may be located on the bottom panel. The bottom seal and its configuration are discussed in more detail in Figures 2A through 2D. End seals are also discussed in Figures 3A and 3B. In general, the packagings in this description may include seals that have a tensile strength of at least 3 N / in. For example, each of the plurality of seals in the packagings in this description may have a tensile strength from 3 N / in to about 40 N / in, more preferably from about 3 N / in to about 35 N / in, or most preferably from about 3 N / in to about 30 N / in, specifically citing all values included in these ranges and any ranges created by them.For packages containing absorbent items that do not include a significant amount of compression, for example, menstrual pads, adult light incontinence pads, panty liners, packages with 6 or fewer absorbent items within them, and the like, the tensile strength of the seals of such packages may range from about 3 N / in to about 25 N / in, more preferably from about 3 N / in to about 20 N / in, or most preferably from about 3 N / in to about 15 N / in, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. As mentioned previously, for packages containing compressed absorbent articles, the hoop seal may have a higher tensile strength than at least one of the other seals. For example, the hoop seal may have a tensile strength between 15 N / in and about 40 N / in, more preferably between about 20 N / in and about 35 N / in, or most preferably between about 22 N / in and about 30 N / in, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In such packages, the absorbent article(s) may include adult incontinence diapers or briefs, or incontinence pads. Adults for moderate to heavy use. Additional examples are considered in which at least one seal has a higher tensile strength than another seal. For example, the bottom seal may have a higher tensile strength than the hoop seal and / or the access seal. In another example, the access seal may have a higher tensile strength than the hoop seal, the bottom seal, or the end seals. In yet another example, at least one end seal may have a higher tensile strength than the other end seal and / or the hoop seal. Furthermore, the inventors unexpectedly found that the access seal can have a lower tensile strength than the hoop seal and / or any other seal. In packaging designs where the access seal is located on the top panel, it generally does not bear as much load as the hoop seal and one or more other seals, such as the bottom seal or end seal. It should be noted that the access seal can be located on one or more of the top, right, and / or left panels. Alternatively, in tubular packaging that includes end seals and a hoop seal, one of the end seals can serve as the access seal. Alternatively, packaging configurations described herein may be arranged so that the seals have similar tensile strengths. For example, each seal in the plurality may have a tensile strength of at least 10 N / in. In such configurations, each seal may have a tensile strength that is within ±15% of the tensile strength of the remaining seals in the packaging. However, as noted previously, because adhesives are considered a non-recyclable material, their use must be carefully considered to ensure that the packaging material retains its recyclability. The tensile strengths of the seals mentioned herein may be determined by the tensile test procedure described in ASTM F88-06 as modified herein. As noted previously, the type and quantity of adhesive used for sealing the packaging described herein can affect the packaging's recyclability. For example, adhesives that dissolve in water during the re-pasting phase of the disintegration step in the recycling process may be particularly suitable for the packaging described herein. Such adhesives include starch-based adhesives, polyvinyl alcohol-based adhesives, and polyethylene oxide-based adhesives. A suitable example of a starch-based adhesive is Available from LD Davis, located in Monroe, North Carolina, under the brand name AP0420CR. A suitable example of a polyvinyl alcohol-based adhesive is available from Sekisui Chemical Company, located in Osaka, Japan, under the brand name Selvol 205. A suitable example of a polyethylene oxide-based adhesive is available from Dow Chemicals Co., located in Midland, Michigan, under the brand name WSR N-80. If the adhesive is not water-soluble, then water-dispersible adhesives can be used similarly. Suitable examples of water-dispersible adhesives include thermoplastic elastomer-based adhesives and polyvinyl acetate-based adhesives. A suitable example of a thermoplastic elastomer-based adhesive is available from Actega, located in Blue Ash, Ohio, under the brand name Yunico 491. A suitable example of a polyvinyl acetate-based adhesive is available from Bostik, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, under the brand name Aquagrip 4419U01. Another suitable example of a polyvinyl acetate-based adhesive is available from HB Fuller under the brand name PD-0330. Any suitable pressure-sensitive adhesive can also be used. A suitable example of a pressure-sensitive adhesive includes that sold by Formulated Polymer Products Ltd., located in Bury, Lancashire, England, and marketed under the brand name FP2154. As a specific example, access sealing can include a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Without being bound by any particular theory, it is thought that packaging described herein that uses water-soluble adhesives may contain a higher percentage by weight of such adhesives than adhesives that are only water-dispersible. For example, packaging containing water-soluble adhesives may contain a first percentage by weight of adhesive, while packaging containing water-dispersible adhesives may contain a second percentage by weight of adhesive. It is thought that the first percentage by weight may be greater than the second percentage by weight for the purpose of recycling the packaging material. As noted previously, the packaging described herein may employ a soluble adhesive, a dispersible adhesive, a pressure-sensitive adhesive, or any combination thereof. However, the choice of adhesives must be carefully considered in terms of percentage by weight. When soluble adhesives are used, the adhesive may include at least one of the following: starch-based, polyethylene oxide-based, polyvinyl alcohol-based, or combinations thereof. Sample 4 illustrates that even at 14 percent by weight, the soluble adhesive (starch-based) passed the PTS process described here, whereas polyvinyl acetate at the same percentage by weight failed the test. PTS. It should be noted that the sealing characteristics of the packaging described herein may depend on how the packaging material is processed. For example, a manufacturer of absorbent products may purchase pre-formed packaging. In such cases, the absorbent product manufacturer may receive from a paper packaging manufacturer essentially an open bag comprising one panel with a hoop seal and another panel with a different seal, for example, a bottom seal. The other seal, for example, the bottom seal, may be configured in a block-style, cross-style, or pinch-style arrangement. Such configurations are discussed in more detail below with reference to Figures 2A to 2D. When creating an access seal, the absorbent product manufacturer may use the same adhesive as that used in the hoop seal and / or the other seal, for example, the bottom seal. Alternatively, the absorbent product manufacturer may use an adhesive that is different from that used in the hoop seal and / or the other seal, for example, the bottom seal. It is also possible for the absorbent product manufacturer to produce the packaging themselves. For example, an absorbent product manufacturer may have the capacity to produce the open bag, similar to the one described above, and subsequently fill it with one or more absorbent items and then seal it without having to purchase such bags from a supplier. Another example where a manufacturer of absorbent products produces the packaging itself includes the tubular packaging configuration. In such a configuration, the manufacturer forms the packaging around the absorbent product(s) as opposed to placing the absorbent product(s) in a pre-formed bag. These types of packaging described herein may include end seals and a hoop seal, and may further include an access seal, or one of the end seals may include the access seal. Regardless of whether a manufacturer of absorbent products purchases pre-made bags from a supplier or manufactures the packaging itself, the preceding sealing configurations can still be provided. Specifically, at least one seal may include a different adhesive than the other seals, or the adhesive in the seals may be the same. Alternatively, when the packaging material includes a barrier layer, the packaging described herein may not include any adhesive. Just as with the use of dyes and / or coatings, the use of adhesives must similarly be carefully considered when using a film layer for its barrier properties. For example, when a percentage of recycled content is used, the use of adhesives should be carefully considered. If a compatibility of approximately 95 percent or more is desired, the film layer can be selected to comprise 3 percent or less by weight of the packaging material. Adhesives, dyes, and / or coatings can then comprise approximately 2 percent by weight. To ensure that the 3 percent film layer is adequate for the TTVESCC (Total Water Value of Packaging Materials), the weight percentage of the natural material layer may need to be increased. In this regard, it may be prudent to use a barrier film layer that eliminates the need for adhesives. For example, a film layer containing a polyolefin can be used. Such films can, in addition to providing barrier properties, also be used to form one or more of the packaging seals. This can reduce (or eliminate) the need for adhesives and allow for greater flexibility in the film weight percentage.This can help increase the recyclability percentage of the packaging material. When the film layer is used instead of adhesive, the packaging material described herein may be essentially adhesive-free. For example, seals in the packaging described herein may comprise 2 percent or less by weight, more preferably 1 percent or less by weight, or more preferably less than 1 percent or less by weight of the overall packaging material. It should be noted that an adhesive can be used for additional reasons. For example, when resealability is desired, an adhesive can be provided near the access sealing area to enable the packaging to be resealed. The ability to reseal the packaging can help protect the items inside from contamination by the external environment and also prevents moisture from the environment from being absorbed by the items inside the packaging. A suitable example of an adhesive that can be used is a pressure-sensitive adhesive. A specific example of a pressure-sensitive adhesive is available from Bostik and sold under the brand name Aquagrip® JB018.Furthermore, the packaging on one or more of the plurality of panels may include instructions for the user to reseal the packaging when access to the items is not required. We will now examine some of the mechanical properties of the packaging material. In order to withstand the rigors of a manufacturing process where a plurality of absorbent items are arranged within the packaging, to withstand the rigors of shipping, to provide protection against environmental stresses during shipping and while on the store shelf, and to ensure product protection in the consumer's home, the packaging material may have a certain level of strength, tensile strength, and resilience. As an example, a packaging material The tensile strength SM of this description may be of at least 4.7 kN / m, more preferably at least 7 kN / m, or most preferably at least 8 kN / m, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The tensile strength SM may be between 4.7 kN / m and 8.5 kN / m, or more preferably between 5.2 kN / m and 8.2 kN / m, or most preferably between 5.5 kN / m and 8.0 kN / m, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The tensile strength SM is measured using TISO 1924-3 as modified herein. By way of further example, the conditioning material of this description may have a tensile strength ST of at least 2.7 kN / m, more preferably at least 4 kN / m, or most preferably at least 5.5 kN / m, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The tensile strength ST may be between 2.7 and 6.5 kN / m, more preferably between 2.7 and 6.2 kN / m, or most preferably between 2.7 and 6 kN / m, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The tensile strength ST is measured using TISO 1924-3 as modified herein. By way of further example, the packaging material of this description may have a burst strength of at least 185 kPa, more preferably at least 250 kPa, or most preferably at least 550 kPa, specifically stating all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The burst strength of the packaging material of this description may be between 185 and 600 kPa, more preferably between 220 and 550 kPa, or most preferably between 250 and 500 kPa, specifically stating all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. Burst strength is measured using ISO 2758 as modified herein. As another example, the conditioning material of this description may have an elongation at break SM, more preferably at least 3 percent, or more preferably at least 6 percent, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The conditioning material of this description may have an elongation at break SM of between 3 and 6.5 percent, more preferably between 3.2 and 6.2 percent, or more preferably between 3.5 and 6 percent, specifically citing all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The elongation at break SM is measured using ISO 1924-3 as modified herein. As another example, the packaging material in this description The material may exhibit an elongation at break (ST) of at least 4 percent, more preferably at least 6 percent, or most preferably at least 9 percent, specifically stating all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The conditioning material of this description may exhibit an elongation at break (ST) of 4 to 10 percent, more preferably 4.5 to 9.5 percent, or most preferably 5 to 9 percent, specifically stating all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The elongation at break (ST) is measured using ISO 1924-3 as modified herein. Regarding size, the packaging material of this description may have a size of at least 50 µm, more preferably at least 70 µm, or most preferably at least 90 µm, specifically stating all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. The packaging material of this description may have a size of between 50 and 110 jm, more preferably from 55 to 105 µm, or most preferably from 60 to 100 jm, specifically stating all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. Size is measured using TISO 534 as modified herein. It should be noted that the packaging material described herein differs from flat board, cardboard, and brown paper bags. For example, flat board is not as flexible as the packaging materials described herein. Flat board is designed and is inherently more rigid than the packaging materials described herein and may be more difficult to process on converting lines due to its rigidity. Furthermore, flat board has a higher unit density than the packaging materials described herein. Similarly, cardboard also differs from the packaging materials described herein. Cardboard has a much higher density per unit area than the packaging materials described herein. Furthermore, cardboard is much less flexible than the packaging materials described herein. Cardboard materials are commonly corrugated and comprise three layers of a paper material and, as such, are structurally different from the packaging materials described herein. Moreover, the packaging material described herein has a much lower density per unit area than cardboard. Some advantages that the packaging materials described here have over flat board and cardboard include flexibility, as discussed here. However, another advantage is that the packaging materials described here These packaging materials occupy less space than their bulkier counterparts made of flat board and cardboard. Another advantage of the packaging materials described here is that they allow the absorbent items within them to be compressed inside the packaging. This allows more product to fit into a smaller package, thus increasing efficiency. Regarding the brown paper bags, which were widely used in grocery stores for transporting goods, the packaging described here is also different. As discussed in more detail here, the packaging material described here is adhesively sealed so that the absorbent items are completely enclosed and protected from the external environment by the packaging material. More specifically, the packaging of absorbent items described here has no opening into which items can be placed. Instead, the packaging of absorbent items described here is sealed to reduce the likelihood of contamination of the absorbent items during shipping, storage, and time spent on store shelves.In contrast, the classic brown paper bags widely used in grocery stores several decades ago have an opening through which items can be placed. Furthermore, these brown paper bags offer no barrier to the absorption of humid vapor. Although it has less flexibility compared to plastic packaging and a lower surface mass than cardboard and flat board, the inventors have surprisingly discovered that the packaging material of this description can withstand the rigors of a manufacturing process in which a plurality of absorbent articles are placed in the packaging, as well as the rigors of shipping, that it offers protection against environmental aggressions during transport and on store shelves, and that it ensures the protection of the product in the consumer's home. Furthermore, examples are considered where the absorbent article's backing sheet is in direct contact with the inner surface of the packaging material. Packagings of this description including diapers may be configured in this way. Feminine hygiene protective pads, including menstrual pads, incontinence pads, adult incontinence pads, and the like, may be individually packaged to protect a panty-fastening adhesive on their respective backing sheets. In packagings with these articles, the individually wrapped article may be in direct contact with the inner surface of the packaging material. Forms are considered where the packaging that encloses the individual articles may include natural fibers as described herein. Moreover, such packagings may be re- cycleable as described here. As noted previously, manufacturers of absorbent articles may purchase the packaging material already pre-formed in open bags or may purchase rolls of packaging material. Regardless of whether the packaging material is on rolls or pre-formed to some extent, the packagings described herein begin with a starter paper. With reference to Figures 1A to 1B, edge portions 100 and 110 of a starter paper sheet 99 may be folded over and subsequently glued together to form a seal. For example, the side portions 100 and 110 of the sheet 99 may be folded or simply moved inward by transverse translation toward a longitudinal midline 90 of the sheet 99. These edge portions may be overlapped and glued together to form an overlapping seal.Alternatively, edge sections 100 and 110 can be joined together with adhesive on their respective inner surfaces to form a butt seal. It should be noted that butt seals tend not to be as flat as overlap seals. Therefore, when the seal is located, at least partially, on a lower panel, an overlap seal may be preferable so that the packaging rests on a flatter lower panel. The joining of edge sections 100 and 110 is called a hoop seal. Referring now to Figures 1C to 1E, the packaging material sheet can be folded appropriately to form lateral bag pleats 12b and 13b and two lateral folds 12a and 13a on opposite sides, to form the bag structure 4 having a first surface 10, a second and a third surface 12, 13, respectively, and a fourth and a fifth surface 14, 15. An open end 48 (e.g., a gusseted bag structure) is opposite the first surface 10. Each lateral pleat 12b, 13b is located at the level of the second or third surface 12, 13, respectively. It should be noted that in Figures 1C and 1E, the pleat and folds shown are for packaging having a block or block bottom configuration. The gussets and folding lines for a pinch-bottom bag are discussed in more detail in [Fig.2B]. The bag 4 can be filled by inserting items such as a stack of absorbent material through the open end 48. When the bag 4 is filled with a plurality of items, for example by feeding items in through the open end 48, the device used to introduce the items into the bag 4, together with the items themselves, may exert some tension on each of the second and third surfaces 12, 13 of the bag 4. For example, the items may be compressed before being inserted into the bag 4. Thus, the items may expand slightly after being introduced. in bag 4 and thus exert a certain tension on the second and third surfaces 12, 13 as well as on the fourth surface 14 and the fifth surface 15. The tension is exerted on each of the folds 12b, 13b at the level of the second and third surfaces 12, 13 respectively, in particular along the first and second lateral folds 12a, 13a with which the conditioning can maintain an essentially parallelepiped shape. As can be seen in [Fig. 1D], the first opposite surface 10 of the open end 48 can then be closed to form the sixth surface 11. Any suitable style of closure can be used. By way of example, the sixth surface may include closure gussets 11b by joining the edges of the bag 4 and tying them together to form a closure seam 1la and a closure seam fin 11c extending from the closure seam 1la, and the sixth surface 11. In yet another example, the sixth surface may include seams that are joined together in a block-style configuration or a cross-style configuration discussed below, An example of a block-style configuration is shown in [Fig. 2A]. As shown, the first surface 10 can include a block-style configuration comprising seals 220 and 230. The first surface 10 can include a base portion 240. A first flap of conditioning material 250 can be folded over the base portion 240. An adhesive can be provided to fix the first flap of conditioning material 250 to the base portion 240, thus forming the first seal 220. A second flap of conditioning material 260 can be folded and fixed by adhesive to the base portion 240 and over the first flap of conditioning material 250. An adhesive can be provided to fix the second flap of conditioning material 260 to the base portion 240 and to the first flap of conditioning material 250, thus forming the second seal 230. A similar embodiment can be used for the sixth surface 11. Another example of a panel sealing style that can be used with the packagings described herein is the pinch-bottom or block-bottom configuration. An example of a pinch-bottom configuration is shown in [Fig. 2A]. As shown, one of the key differences between the block bottom and the pinch-bottom configuration is the pleats 12b and 13b. Instead of pleats on sides 12 and 13, a pinch-bottom configuration includes gussets 22b and 23b on the first surface 10. In addition, in the pinch-bottom configuration, the first surface 10 includes a fold line 10a, which may be absent in the block-bottom configuration. Cross-style configurations are also acceptable for sealing portions of the packaging material described herein. An example of a The cross-bottom style configuration is shown in [Fig. 2C]. As shown, one of the key differences between the cross-bottom and block-style configurations is that the gussets 32b and 33b are oriented outwards. In contrast, the pleat lines 12a and 13a on the second surface 12 and the third surface 13, respectively, in [Fig. 1C], are oriented inwards before the packaging is filled. Due to the orientation of the gussets 32b and 33b in the cross-bottom configuration, filling the packaging with absorbent material may require less energy to expand the packaging for filling. As an example, inward-facing pleats, such as in a block-style configuration, would require the pleats to be displaced outwards before the packaging is filled.Furthermore, the equipment used to guide the product during packaging will have a reduced probability of interfering with the bellows of the cross-bottom configuration due to their outward orientation. This can reduce the likelihood of packaging accidents or manufacturing process stoppages due to quality issues. Referring again to [Fig. 2C], similar to the block-style configuration, the first surface 10 of the cross-style configuration includes seals 320 and 330. The first surface includes a base portion 340. A first flap of packaging material 350 can be folded and adhered to the base portion 340. A first seal 320 can be provided to attach the first flap of packaging material 350 to the base portion 340. A second flap of packaging material 360 can be folded over the base portion 340 and over the first flap of packaging material 350. A second seal 330 can be provided to adhere the second flap of packaging material 360 to the base portion 340 and to the first flap of packaging material 350. A similar embodiment can be used for the sixth surface (formed after the placement of items). absorbents within it). Regardless of the sealing configuration—block, cross, or pinch—these configurations are known in the industry. It should be noted that for less bulky items where the ability to stand the package upright is desired, a block or cross bottom may be preferable. However, for bulky items, pinch-style bags can be advantageous because the bulky absorbent material can form a stable base for standing the package upright. Furthermore, it should be noted that block and cross-style packages tend to be bulkier than their pinch-style counterparts. For packaging purposes, unfilled packages may arrive in stacks at an absorbent manufacturer. Typically, stacks of block-style packages are found in these stacks. Block and cross-seal configurations will occupy more space—due to their bulk—than their pinch-style counterparts. The bulk of block and cross-seal configurations can make stacks more difficult to handle during the filling process, particularly when a large number of packages are created per minute. In such cases, the bulk of these configurations may mean more frequent stack replenishment. Thus, for (unfilled) packages containing the same packaging material but a different sealing style—block and pinch—the block-style configuration will occupy more space than its pinch-style counterparts. Regarding [Fig. 2D], it should be noted that dye coverage for joints / seals has been mentioned. As shown in [Fig. 2D], the base portion 240 can include internal edges 240A, sealing areas 241 and 242, and areas without dye and coating 245. As previously noted, in an attempt to save on the percentage by weight of dye, it is envisaged that areas of the base portion 240 that are located under the first flap of conditioning material 250 and the second flap of conditioning material 260 can be configured so that no dye and / or coating is provided in these areas. The exposed areas of the base portion 240 can include dyes and / or coatings. The sealing areas 241 and / or 242 can similarly be configured as areas without dye and coating 245.Alternatively, one or more of the sealing areas 241 and 242 may include a dye and / or coating. And while a block-style configuration is shown in [Fig. 2D], the above can also be applied to cross-style configurations. With further reference to Figures IC to IE, the dimensions of the bag 4 and the packaging 1 can be appropriately chosen and achieved through design, folding, stacking, compression and packaging processes so that the packaging 1 retains the absorbent articles within it and maintains a neat, stable, essentially parallelepiped shape, i.e. a parallelepiped shape of the packaging 1. The first surface 10 may include the top panel of the packaging. Or the first surface 10 may include the bottom panel of the packaging. It should be noted that if the first surface 10 includes seals, it may be desirable for the first surface 10 to include the bottom panel. In this way, the seals can be hidden from view on the store shelf. Similarly, the second and third surfaces 12 and 13, as they may include gussets 12b and 13b, respectively, may include the left panel and the right panel, respectively, or vice versa. Which One of the fourth and fifth surfaces 14 and 15 must include the consumer-facing panel. Thus, at least one of the fourth and / or fifth surfaces 14, 15, may include a brand indication, packaging information, and / or a background color as described herein. However, as noted previously, the brand indication, packaging information, and / or background color are not limited to the consumer-facing panel. Any combination of the packaging panels in this description may include a brand indication, packaging information, and / or a background color. Recall that tubular packaging configurations were also discussed previously. Some examples of tubular packaging are shown in Figures 3A and 3B. Figure 3A shows an example of tubular packaging, which typically has a parallelepiped shape. Rectangular packaging has been discussed previously. Packaging 301, as shown, comprises a first panel 310, opposing second and third panels 312 and 313, respectively; opposing fourth and fifth panels 314 and 315, respectively; and a sixth panel 311 opposite the first panel 310. As shown, the second panel 312 may include an end seal 312a, and the third panel 313 may include an end joint 313a. A hoop seal 316 can be disposed, in part, on the second panel 312, the third panel 313, and the sixth panel 311.In such configurations, either the first panel 310 or the fifth panel 315 may include the panel facing the consumer. Figure 3B shows another packaging 328 given by way of example in accordance with the packagings in this description. Like packaging 301 in Figure 3A, packaging 328 is a tubular packaging configuration. As shown, packaging 328 comprises a first surface 324 and a second opposing surface 321. Rounded edges may be provided as a transition between the first surface 324 and the second surface 321. Alternatively, one or more fold lines may be provided between the first surface 324 and the second surface 321. Packaging 328 may further include end seals 322 and 323, and a hoop seal 326 that may be disposed on the second surface 321. In such packagings, the first surface 324 may include the consumer-facing panel. Regarding both Figures 3A and 3B, while the packaging shown, i.e. 301 and 328, includes butt-to-end seals for sealing At the end, overlapping seals may also be used. For example, one or more of the end seals 312a, 313a, 322, and 323 may include an overlapping seal. Similarly, the hoop seal, i.e., 316 and 326, may include either a butt seal or an overlapping seal. In yet another example, a Totani™ style bag can be used. The Totani™ style bag may include seams / seals that are displaced above their flat-bottom, pinch-bottom, and / or cross-bottom counterparts. With reference to Figures 4A and 4B, a Totani™ style 1400 pack is shown. The 1400 pack can be configured in a generally parallelepiped shape. The 1400 pack may include a first panel 1411, opposing second and third panels 1412 and 1413, opposing fourth and fifth panels 1414 and 1415, and a sixth panel 1410 opposite the first panel 1411. As shown, between the fourth panel 1414 and the sixth panel 1410, a first seal 1420 extends outward. The first seal 1420 forms a kind of foot for the 1400 packaging.A second seal can extend outwards between the fifth panel 1415 and the sixth panel 1410 in a manner similar to the first seal 1420. It should be noted that in some forms, the first panel 1411 can be laid flat just like the sixth panel 1410. The first seal 1420 can be extended such that part of it is on the second panel 1412 and another part is on the third panel 1413. Similarly, part of the second seal can be on the second panel 1412 and another part on the third panel 1413. The first and second seals 1420 can be provided where the sixth panel 1410 is formed from a separate piece of material that is subsequently joined to the fourth panel 1414 and the fifth panel 1415. Of course, forms where the sixth panel 1410 is integral with the fourth panel 1414 and the fifth panel 1415 are also envisaged. A third seal 1430 and a fourth seal 1440 may extend outward from the second panel 1412 and the third panel 1413, respectively. It should be noted that the first seal 1420, the second seal, the third seal 1430, and the fourth seal 1440 collectively may include the hoop seal discussed earlier. Thus, one, all, or any combination of these seals may exhibit the tensile strength for the hoop seal as described herein. As shown, the 1400 conditioning may further include a fifth joint 1450 and a sixth joint 1460 which are arranged on the sixth Panel 1411. The fifth joint 1450 and the sixth joint 1460 can extend into a sealing fin 1480. It should be noted that the packaging 1400 and the joints associated with it can be assembled as described herein with regard to adhesives, films, and / or combinations of films and adhesives. However, the construction of the packaging 1400 is particularly well suited for creating joints by means of a film coating on an internal surface of the packaging material. In such configurations, the film can form a barrier that reduces the likelihood, or at least the amount, of moist vapor passing through the packaging material to the absorbent articles within it. The packagings described herein may contain a plurality of compressed articles, for example, compressed disposable absorbent articles. For example, the packagings described herein may be used to hold feminine hygiene sanitary napkins. As shown in [Fig. 5], the packaging 1 defines an internal space 1002 in which a plurality of absorbent articles 1004 are located. The plurality of absorbent articles 1004 may be arranged in one or more stacks 1006. The absorbent articles may be compressed to reduce the size of the packagings, while still providing an adequate quantity of absorbent articles per package.By packaging absorbent items under compression, healthcare providers can easily handle and store the packages, while also providing distribution savings for manufacturers due to the package size. Although they lack the stretch properties of a conventional plastic packaging material, the inventors unexpectedly found that the packaging materials of the present description are capable of withstanding the rigors of handling and distribution, as previously mentioned, even with absorbent items compressed within the package. This is particularly unexpected because the materials of the present invention do not exhibit the stretch properties of conventional plastic films currently in use. Thus, packaging of the absorbent articles described herein may have a bag stack height of less than approximately 150 mm, less than approximately 110 mm, less than approximately 105 mm, less than approximately 100 mm, less than approximately 95 mm, less than approximately 90 mm, less than approximately 85 mm, less than approximately 80 mm, less than approximately 78 mm, less than approximately 76 mm, less than approximately 74 mm, less than approximately 72 mm, or less than approximately 70 mm, specifically citing all 0.1 mm increments within the specified ranges and all ranges formed within or by them, according to the test of bag pile height described herein. Alternatively, the packagings of the absorbent articles in this description may have a bag pile height ranging from about 70 mm to about 150 mm, from about 70 mm to about 110 mm, from about 70 mm to about 105 mm, from about 70 mm to about 100 mm, from about 70 mm to about 95 mm, from about 70 mm to about 90 mm, from about 70 mm to about 85 mm, from about 72 mm to about 80 mm, or from about 74 mm to about 78 mm, specifically citing all 0.1 mm increments within the specified ranges and all ranges formed within or by them, according to the bag pile height test described herein. It should be noted that the absorbent articles within the packaging described herein can be arranged in a myriad of configurations. For example, absorbent articles described herein may be arranged within the packaging so that they are oriented vertically, or the absorbent articles may be arranged so that they are arranged horizontally, for example as shown in [Fig. 5]. Forms are envisaged where a combination of horizontally and vertically oriented articles is provided within the packaging. Furthermore, the items inside the packaging can be oriented such that one longitudinal edge of each item is closer to the consumer-facing panel than any other longitudinal edge. For example, when the number of absorbent items inside the packaging is relatively high, such as more than nine, the absorbent items can be arranged as described above. However, when the number of absorbent items inside the packaging is less than, for example, nine, the absorbent items can be arranged so that either the top or bottom sheet of an absorbent item is closer to the consumer-facing panel.Additional absorbent items may be stacked behind the absorbent item closest to the consumer-facing panel. Forms are envisaged where there is a combination of orientations within the packaging. For example, at least one absorbent item may be arranged so that one of its peripheral longitudinal lateral edges is more proximal to the consumer-facing panel than another, and at least one absorbent item may be arranged so that its top or bottom sheet is more proximal to the consumer-facing panel. The remaining absorbent items, if any, may take either of these configurations. Absorbent items As noted previously, absorbent articles that can be packaged at The internal uses of the packaging material described herein are numerous. Two specific examples are provided in Figures 6 to 7C. However, the packaging material and containers described herein can be used to contain a multitude of absorbent articles as previously described. Figures 6 to 7C are only examples of articles that can be contained with the packaging material / containers described herein. Figure 6 shows an example of a feminine hygiene pad 400. The feminine hygiene pad 400 comprises a top sheet 420, a backing sheet 450, and an absorbent core 440 positioned between the top sheet 420 and the backing sheet 450. A fluid-holding layer 430 may be positioned between the top sheet 420 and the absorbent core 440. The absorbent article has a wearer-facing surface 460 and an opposite-clothing-facing surface 462. The wearer-facing surface 460 mainly comprises the top sheet 420, while the clothing-facing surface 462 mainly comprises the backing sheet 450. Additional components may be included in either the wearer-facing surface 460 and / or the clothing-facing surface 462.For example, when the absorbent article is an incontinence pad, a pair of barrier-forming flaps, which generally extend parallel to a longitudinal axis L of the absorbent article 400, may also form part of the wearer-facing surface 460. Similarly, a fixing adhesive may be present on the backing sheet 450 and form part of the garment-facing surface 462 of the absorbent article. The top sheet 420 can be joined to the base sheet 450 by fastening methods (not shown) such as those well known in the art. The top sheet 420 and the base sheet 450 can be joined directly to each other at the periphery of the article and can be joined indirectly to each other by joining them directly to the absorbent core 440, the fluid support layer 430, and / or additional layers arranged between the top sheet 420 and the base sheet 450. This indirect or direct joining can be achieved by fastening methods that are well known in the art. The 420 topsheet can be accommodating, soft to the touch, and non-irritating to the wearer's skin. Suitable topsheet materials include a fluid-permeable material that is oriented toward, and comes into contact with, the wearer's body, allowing bodily fluids to penetrate rapidly through it without allowing fluid to flow back through the topsheet onto the wearer's skin. The topsheet, while allowing rapid fluid transfer, can also facilitate the transfer or migration of the lotion composition to an external or internal area of the wearer's skin. carrier. A suitable 420 topsheet may be made of various materials such as woven and nonwoven materials; perforated film materials including perforated formed thermoplastic films, perforated plastic films, and fiber-interlocked perforated films; hydroformed thermoplastic films; porous foams; crosslinked foams; crosslinked thermoplastic films; thermoplastic muslins; or combinations thereof. Suitable perforated film materials for use as top sheets include those perforated plastic films that are non-absorbent and permeable to bodily exudates and provide minimal or no reflux of fluids through the top sheet. Non-limiting examples of other suitable formed films, including perforated and non-perforated formed films, are described in more detail in US Patent No. 3,929,135, issued to Thompson on December 30, 1975; US Patent No. 4,324,246, issued to Mullane et al. on April 13, 1982; US Patent No. 4,342,314, issued to Radel et al. on August 3, 1982; and US Patent No. 4,463,045, issued to Ahr et al. on July 31, 1984. US patent No. 5,006,394, issued to Baird on April 9, 1991; US patent No. 4,609,518, issued to Curro et al. on September 2, 1986; and US patent No. 4,629,643, issued to Curro et al. on December 16, 1986. Non-limiting examples of woven and non-woven materials suitable for use as a topsheet include fibrous materials made from natural fibers, such as cotton (including 100 percent organic cotton), modified natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or combinations thereof. These fibrous materials may be either hydrophilic or hydrophobic, but it is preferable for the topsheet to be hydrophobic or made hydrophobic. Optionally, portions of the topsheet may be made hydrophilic, using any process known to manufacture topsheets containing hydrophilic components.Non-woven fibrous topsheets 20 can be produced by any procedure known to manufacture non-woven webs, including non-limiting examples such as spun-bonded, carded, wet-applied, air-jet applied, melt-blown, needle-punched, mechanical entanglement, thermomechanical entanglement, and hydraulic entanglement. The 420 topsheet can be formed from a combination of a perforated film and a nonwoven fabric. For example, a film layer and a nonwoven fabric layer can be combined as described in US Patent No. 9,700,463. Alternatively, a film can be extruded onto a nonwoven material that is believed to provide improved contact between the film layer and the nonwoven material. Examples of such a combination are described in US Patent Nos. 9,849,602 and 9,700,463. The backing sheet 450 can be positioned adjacent to a surface facing the absorbent core garment 440 and can be attached to it by fastening methods such as those well known in the art. For example, the backing sheet 450 can be attached to the absorbent core 440 by a continuous uniform layer of adhesive, a patterned layer of adhesive, or a network of separate lines, spirals, or dots of adhesive. Alternatively, fastening methods may include the use of thermal bonding, pressure bonding, ultrasonic bonding, dynamic mechanical bonding, or any other suitable fastening methods or combinations thereof as known in the art. The 450 backing sheet can be impermeable, or essentially impermeable, to liquids (e.g., urine) and can be made from a thin plastic film, although other flexible, liquid-impermeable materials can also be used. As used here, the term "flexible" refers to materials that are accommodating and readily conform to the general shape and contours of the human body. The backing sheet can prevent, or at least inhibit, wetting by exudates absorbed and contained within the absorbent core of clothing items that come into contact with the incontinence pad, such as underwear. However, the backing sheet may allow vapors to escape from the absorbent core (i.e., is air-permeable), whereas in some cases the backing sheet may not allow vapors to escape (i.e., is air-impermeable).Thus, the base sheet can comprise a polymer film such as thermoplastic films of polyethylene or polypropylene. A suitable material for the base sheet is a thermoplastic film having a thickness ranging from approximately 0.012 mm (0.5 mil) to approximately 0.051 mm (2.0 mils), for example. Any suitable base sheet known in the art can be used with the present invention. The 450 base sheet acts as a barrier to any absorbed bodily fluids that might pass through the 440 absorbent core to the garment surface, thereby reducing the risk of soiling underwear or other clothing. A preferred material is soft, smooth, accommodating, and permeable to liquids and vapor, ensuring softness and adaptability for comfort, while producing minimal noise so that movement does not cause unwanted sounds. Examples of backing sheets are described in US Patent No. 5,885,265 (Osborn, III.) issued March 23, 1999; No. 6,462,251 (Cimini) issued October 8, 2002; No. 6,623,464 (Bewick-Sonntag) issued September 23, 2003; or US Patent No. 6,664,439 (Arndt) issued December 16, 2003. Suitable double-layer or multi-layer air-permeable backing sheets are also described. Examples used here include those given as examples in US Patent No. 3,881,489, US Patent No. 4,341,216, US Patent No. 4,713,068, US Patent No. 4,818,600, EP Patents 203,821, 710,471, 710,472, and 793,952. Suitable air-permeable backing sheets for use here include all air-permeable backing sheets known in the art. In principle, there are two types of air-permeable backing sheets: single-layer air-permeable backing sheets, which are permeable to air and impermeable to liquids, and backing sheets having at least two layers, which in combination provide both air permeability and liquid impermeability. Suitable single-layer air-permeable backing sheets for use here include those described, for example, in patents GB A 2,184,389, GB A 2,184,390, GB A 2,184,391, US patent No. 4,591,523, US patent No. 3,989,867, US patent No. 3,156,242, and application WO 97 / 24097. The backing sheet can be a nonwoven fabric with a basis weight between approximately 20 g / m² and approximately 50 g / m². As an example, the backing sheet can be a relatively hydrophobic spunbond nonwoven fabric of 23 g / m² of 4-denier polypropylene fibers available from Fiberweb Neuberger, under designation F102301001. The backing sheet can be coated with a non-soluble material that swells upon contact with liquids, as described in US Patent No. 6,436,508 (Ciammaichella), issued August 20, 2002. The liner has one side facing the garment and one side facing the opposite body. The side facing the garment of the liner includes a non-adhesive area and an adhesive area. The adhesive area can be provided by any conventional means. Pressure-sensitive adhesives have commonly been found to work well for this purpose. The absorbent core 440 may comprise any suitable shape, including but not limited to ovals, oblong circles, rectangles, asymmetrical shapes, and hourglass shapes. For example, in certain forms of the present invention, the absorbent core 440 may comprise a contoured shape, for example, narrower in the middle region than in the end regions. As another example, the absorbent core may comprise a tapered shape having a wider portion in one end region of the towel that tapers to a narrower end region in the other end region of the towel. The absorbent core may have a stiffness that varies in the SM and ST. The configuration and construction of the absorbent core can vary (for example, the 440 absorbent core may have areas of varying caliber, a hydrophilic gradient, a superabsorbent gradient, or a lower average density and collection areas with a lower average surface density). Furthermore, the size and capacity The absorbency of the 440 absorbent core can also be varied to suit a variety of wearers. However, the total absorbency capacity of the 440 absorbent core must be compatible with the design load and intended use of the disposable absorbent article or incontinence pad. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the absorbent core may comprise a plurality of multifunctional layers in addition to the first and second laminates. For example, the absorbent core may comprise a core wrap (not shown) useful for wrapping the first and second laminates and other optional layers. The core wrap may be formed from two nonwoven materials, substrates, laminates, films, or other materials. In one embodiment, the core wrap may comprise only one material, substrate, laminate, or other material, at least partially wrapped around itself. The absorbent core may include one or more adhesives, for example, to help immobilize the PSA or other absorbent materials within the first and second laminates. Absorbent cores containing relatively high amounts of PSA with various core designs are disclosed in US Patent No. 5,599,335 by Goldman et al., EP Patent 1,447,066 by Busam et al., WO Application 95 / 11652 by Tanzer et al., US Patent Publication No. 2008 / 0312622A1 by Hundorf et al., and WO Application 2012 / 052172 by Van Malderen. These can be used to configure superabsorbent diapers. Additions to the core of the present description are envisaged. In particular, potential additions to the current multi-layered absorbent core are described in US Patent No. 4,610,678, entitled "High-Density Absorbent Structures," issued to Weisman et al. on September 9, 1986; US Patent No. 4,673,402, entitled "Absorbent Articles With Dual-Layered Cores," issued to Weisman et al. on June 16, 1987; and US Patent No. 4,888,231, entitled "Absorbent Core Having A Dusting Layer," issued to Angstadt on December 19, 1989. and US Patent No. 4,834,735, entitled "High Density Absorbent Members Having Lower Density and Lower Basis Weight Acquisition Zones", issued to Alemany et al. on May 30, 1989. The absorbent core may further comprise additional layers that mimic the dual-core system containing a chemically stiffened fiber acquisition / distribution core positioned over a storage absorbent core as detailed in U.S. Patent No. 4,834,735.S. No. 5,234,423, entitled "Absorbent Article With Elastic Waist Feature and Enhanced Absorbency," issued to Alemany et al. on August 10, 1993; and in U.S. Patent No. 5,147,345. These are useful insofar as they do not negate or conflict with the effects of the laminates described below of the absorbent core of the present invention. Additional examples of suitable absorbent cores are described in the patent application publication nos. US 2018 / 0098893 and 2018 / 0098891. Any suitable fluid-holding layer can be used in conjunction with the 400 Feminine Hygiene Protective Napkin. The fluid-holding layer can be independent and separate from the absorbent core. Furthermore, the fluid-holding layer is positioned beneath the top sheet and on the wearer's side of the core. The fluid-holding layer can have a density of approximately 40 g / m² to 100 g / m², approximately 45 g / m² to 75 g / m², or approximately 50 g / m² to 65 g / m², specifically including all values within these ranges and any ranges created by them. In some forms, the fluid-holding layer may comprise a homogeneous blend of fibers, while in others, it may comprise a heterogeneous blend of fibers. Some fluid support layers given as examples are described in US Patent Application Publication Nos. 2015 / 0351976 A1 and 2014 / 0343523 A1; and US Patent Application Serial No. 15 / 729704. Another example of an absorbent article that can be included in the conditions of this description is diapers. As shown in [Fig. 7A], a plan view of an example of an absorbent article is a 1900 diaper in its flat, uncontracted state (i.e., with elastic-induced contraction pulled outward). Parts of the structure are cut away to more clearly show the construction of the 1900 diaper, and its surface faces the wearer in the direction of the observer. This diaper is shown for illustrative purposes only, as the conditions of this description can be used for a wide variety of diapers and other absorbent articles. The absorbent article may include a liquid-permeable top sheet 1924, a liquid-impermeable bottom sheet 1925, an absorbent core 1928 positioned at least partially between the top sheet 1924 and the bottom sheet 1925, and barrier leg flaps 1934. The absorbent article may also include a liquid handling system (“LMS”) 1950 (shown in [Fig. 7B]), which, in the example shown, includes a partition layer 1954 and a collection layer 1952, both of which will be discussed further below. In various forms, the collection layer 1952 may instead distribute bodily exudates and the distribution layer 1954 may instead collect bodily exudates, or both layers may distribute and / or collect bodily exudates. The LMS 1950 can also be supplied as a single layer or two or more layers.The absorbent article may also include elasticated sealing reverses 1932 joined to the chassis 1982 of the absorbent article, ty-. prickling through the top sheet and / or the bottom sheet, and essentially flat with the layer frame. The Figures also show typical tape-fixed diaper components such as a fastening system including adhesive tabs 1942 or other mechanical fasteners fixed towards the rear edge of the absorbent article 1900 and cooperating with a receiving area 1944 on the front of the absorbent article 1900. The absorbent article may also include other typical elements, which are not shown, such as a rear elastic waist element (1936 shown in [Fig.8]) and a front elastic waist element (1937 shown in [Fig.8]), for example. The absorbent article 1900 may include a front waist edge 1910, a rear waist edge 1912 longitudinally opposite the front waist edge 1910, a first side edge 1903, and a second side edge 1904 laterally opposite the first side edge 1903. The front waist edge 1910 is the edge of the absorbent article 1900 that is intended to face the front of the wearer when worn, and the rear waist edge 1912 is the opposite edge. Together, the front waist edge 1910 and the rear waist edge form a waist opening when the absorbent article 1900 is put on a wearer.The absorbent article 1900 may have a longitudinal axis 1980 extending from the lateral midpoint of the front waist edge 1910 to a lateral midpoint of the rear waist edge 1912 of the absorbent article 1900 and dividing the absorbent article 1900 into two halves essentially symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis 1980, with the article placed flat and viewed from the surface facing the wearer as illustrated in [Fig.7 A]. The absorbent article may also have a lateral axis 1990 extending from the longitudinal midpoint of the first lateral edge 1903 to the longitudinal midpoint of the second lateral edge 1904. The length L of the absorbent article 1900 can be measured along the longitudinal axis 1980 from the front waist edge 1910 to the rear waist edge 1912.The inseam width of absorbent article 1900 can be measured along the lateral axis 1990 from the first lateral edge 1903 to the second lateral edge 1904. Absorbent article 1900 may include a front waist region 1905, a rear waist region 1906, and a crotch region 1907. The front waist region, the rear waist region, and the crotch region each define 1 / 3 of the longitudinal length of the absorbent article. Front and rear portions may also be defined on opposite sides of the lateral axis 1990. The top sheet 1924, the bottom sheet 1925, the absorbent core 1928, and the other article components can be assembled in a variety of configurations, particularly by bonding or heat stamping, for example. Examples of Layer configurations are generally described in US Patent No. 3,860,003, US Patent No. 5,221,274, US Patent No. 5,554,145, US Patent No. 5,569,234, US Patent No. 5,580,411, and US Patent No. 6,004,306. The absorbent core 1928 may comprise an absorbent material comprising 75% to 100%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99%, all by weight, of the absorbent material, specifically citing all 0.1% increments within the ranges specified above and all ranges formed within or by them, and a core cover enclosing the absorbent material. The core cover may typically comprise two materials, substrates, or nonwoven materials 16 and 16' for the upper and lower sides of the core. The absorbent core 1928 may include one or more channels, shown in [Fig. 7A] as the four channels 1926, 1926' and 1927, 1927'. Alternatively, the LMS 1950 may include one or more channels, shown in Figures 7A to 6C as channels 1949, 1949”. In some forms, the channels of the LMS 1950 may be positioned within the absorbent article 1900 such that they are aligned with, essentially aligned with, overlap, or at least partially overlap, the channels of the absorbent core 1928. These and other components of the absorbent articles will now be discussed in more detail. The top sheet 1924 is the portion of the absorbent article that is in direct contact with the wearer's skin. The top sheet 1924 may be joined to the base sheet 1925, the core 1928, and / or any other layers as known to the technical specialist. Typically, the top sheet 1924 and the base sheet 1925 are joined directly to each other in certain locations (e.g., on or near the periphery of the article) and are joined indirectly in other locations by joining them directly to one or more other elements of the absorbent article 1900. The 1925 backing sheet is generally that portion of the absorbent article 1900 positioned adjacent to the garment-facing surface of the absorbent core 1928, which prevents, or at least inhibits, the absorbed bodily exudates contained within it from soiling articles such as bed linens and underwear. The 1925 backing sheet is typically impermeable, or at least substantially impermeable, to liquids (e.g., urine, liquid feces), but permeable to vapors to allow the diaper to "breathe." The backing sheet may, for example, be or comprise a thin plastic film such as a thermoplastic film with a thickness of about 0.012 mm to about 0.051 mm. Examples of backing sheet films include those manufactured by the Tredegar Corporation, based in Richmond, VA, and sold under the brand name CPC2 film. Other suitable backing sheet materials These materials may include air-permeable materials that allow vapors to escape from the absorbent article 1900 while preventing, or at least inhibiting, bodily exudates from passing through the backing sheet 1925. Examples of air-permeable materials may include materials such as woven blankets, nonwoven blankets, and composite materials such as film-coated nonwoven blankets, microporous films, and monolithic films. In one specific example, the backing sheet may comprise a film and a nonwoven, in which the nonwoven (1971 shown in [Fig. 8]) forms part of a surface facing the garment. The base sheet 1925 can be joined to the top sheet 1924, the absorbent core 1928, and / or any other component of the absorbent article 1900 by any fastening methods known to the specialist in the art. Suitable fastening methods are described above in relation to the methods for joining the top sheet 1924 to other components of the absorbent article 1900. As used herein, the term "absorbent core" refers to the individual component of the absorbent article with the greatest absorption capacity, comprising absorbent material. The absorbent core may include a core cover or core bag (hereinafter "core cover") enclosing the absorbent material. The term "absorbent core" does not include the LMS or any other component of the absorbent article that is not an integral part of, or located within, the core cover. The absorbent core may comprise, be essentially made of, or consist of a core cover, absorbent material as defined below, and adhesive, all enclosed within the core cover. Paper pulp or aerated felt may also be present within the core cover and may form part of the absorbent material.The absorbent core periphery, which may be the periphery of the core sheath, can define any suitable shape, such as a "T", "Y", "hourglass", or "dog bone" shape, for example. An absorbent core periphery typically having a "dog bone" or "hourglass" shape may taper along its width towards the central or "crotch" region of the core. In this way, the absorbent core can have a relatively narrow width in an area of the absorbent core intended to be placed in the crotch region of an absorbent article. The absorbent core 1928 of this description may comprise an absorbent material with a high amount of superabsorbent polymers (abbreviated herein as "PSA") enclosed within a core envelope. The PSA content may represent 70% to 100%, or at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or 100% by weight of the absorbent material contained in the core envelope. The PSA useful with this description may include a variety of water-insoluble polymers, but capable of swelling in water, capable of absorbing large quantities of fluids. The core cover is not considered an absorbent material for the purpose of assessing the percentage of PSA in the absorbent core. The remaining absorbent material in the core (1928) may be ventilated felt. An "absorbent material" refers to a material that possesses some absorbency or liquid retention properties, such as PSA, cellulose fibers, and synthetic fibers. Typically, the adhesives used in the manufacture of absorbent cores have no absorbency properties and are not considered absorbent materials. The PSA content can be greater than 80%, for example, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, and even up to and including 100% of the weight of the absorbent material contained within the core casing, as mentioned previously. This provides a relatively thin core compared to conventional cores that typically contain between 40% and 60% PSA, for example, and a high content of cellulose fibers or loose-fill felt.The absorbent material may comprise less than 15% or less than 10% by weight of natural or synthetic fibers, less than 5% by weight, less than 3% by weight, less than 2% by weight, less than 1% by weight, or may even be essentially devoid of, or be free of, natural and / or synthetic fibers, specifically citing all 0.1% increments within the specified ranges and all ranges formed within or by them.The absorbent material may comprise little or no aerated felt (cellulose) fibers; in particular, the absorbent core may comprise less than 15%, 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1% of aerated felt (cellulose) fibers by weight, or may even be essentially devoid of, or be free of, cellulose fibers, specifically citing all 0.1% increments within the specified ranges and all ranges formed within or by them. The absorbent core 1928 may also include a generally flat upper side and a generally flat lower side. The core 1928 may have a longitudinal axis 80' corresponding essentially to the longitudinal axis 80 of the absorbent article, as observed from the top in a plan view such as in Figure 6A. The absorbent material may be distributed in a greater quantity toward the front side than toward the rear side, as more absorbance may be required at the front in particular articles. The absorbent material may have a non-uniform surface mass or a uniform surface mass throughout any part of the core. The core casing may be formed of two nonwoven materials, substrates, laminates, or other materials, 1916, 1916', which may be at least partially sealed along the sides of the absorbent core. The casing The core can be at least partially sealed along its front side, rear side, and two longitudinal sides so that essentially no absorbent material leaks from the absorbent core sheath. The first material, substrate, or nonwoven 1916 can at least partially surround the second material, substrate, or nonwoven 1916' to form the core sheath. The first material 1916 can surround a portion of the second material 1916' near the first and second lateral edges 1903 and 1904. Cores comprising a relatively high amount of PSA with various core designs are described in US Patent No. 5,599,335 (Goldman), EP Patent 1,447,066 (Busam), WO Application 95 / 11652 (Tanzer), US Patent Publication No. 2008 / 0312622A 1 (Hundorf), and WO Application 2012 / 052172 (Van Malderen). The absorbent material may be one or more continuous layers within the core envelope. Alternatively, the absorbent material may consist of individual pockets or strips of absorbent material enclosed within the core envelope. In the first case, the absorbent material may be obtained, for example, by applying a single continuous layer of absorbent material. The continuous layer of absorbent material, particularly PSA, may also be obtained by combining two or more absorbent layers having a discontinuous pattern of absorbent material application, in which the resulting layer is distributed essentially continuously throughout the area of absorbent particulate polymer material, as described in patent application publication No. 2008 / 0312622A1 (Hundorf), for example. The absorbent core 1928 may comprise a first absorbent layer and a second absorbent layer.The first absorbent layer may comprise the first material 1916 and a first layer 1961 of absorbent material, which may be 100% or less of PSA. The second absorbent layer may comprise the second material 1916' and a second layer 1962 of absorbent material, which may also be 100% or less of PSA. The fibrous thermoplastic adhesive material 1951 can be at least partially in contact with the absorbent material 1961, 1962 in the receiving areas and at least partially in contact with materials 1916 and 1916' in the junction areas. This imparts a practically three-dimensional structure to the fibrous layer of thermoplastic adhesive material 591, which is itself practically a two-dimensional structure of relatively small thickness compared to its dimensions in the length and width directions. As a result, the fibrous thermoplastic adhesive material can provide cavities to cover the absorbent material in the receiving area, thereby immobilizing this absorbent material, which may be 100% or less PSA. The core casing can consist of a single substrate, material, or nonwoven fabric folded around the absorbent material, or it can comprise two or more substrates, materials, or nonwoven fabrics bonded together. Typical bonding methods include the so-called C-casing and / or sandwich casing. In a C-casing, the longitudinal and / or transverse edges of one substrate are folded over the other substrate to form flaps. These flaps are then bonded to the outer surface of the other substrate, typically by gluing. Other techniques can be used to form a core casing. For example, the longitudinal and / or transverse edges of the substrates can be bonded together, then folded under the absorbent core and bonded in that position. The core casing may be at least partially sealed along all sides of the absorbent core so that essentially no absorbent material leaks out of the core. By "essentially no absorbent material," we mean that less than 5%, less than 2%, less than 1%, or about 0% by weight of absorbent material escapes from the core casing. The term "sealing" should be understood in a broad sense. The seal for the core casing need not be continuous along the entire periphery of the core casing, but may be discontinuous along part or all of it, such as formed by a series of sealing points spaced in a line. A seal may be formed by bonding and / or thermal bonding. The core envelope can also be formed from a single substrate which can enclose the absorbent material like in a parcel package and be sealed along the front and back sides of the core and a longitudinal seal. The absorbent article may include a pair of barrier leg flaps 1934. Each barrier leg flap may be formed from a piece of material bonded to the absorbent article so that it extends upward from the inner surface of the absorbent article and provides enhanced retention of fluids and other bodily exudates approximately at the junction of the wearer's torso and legs. The barrier leg flaps 1934 are delimited by a proximal edge 1964 joined directly or indirectly to the top sheet 1924 and / or the bottom sheet 1925 and a free terminal edge 1966, which is intended to come into contact with and form a seal against the wearer's skin.The barrier leg cuffs 1934 extend at least partially between the front waist edge 1910 and the rear waist edge 1912 of the absorbent article on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis 1980 and are at least present in the crotch area 1907. The barrier leg cuffs 1934 may be joined at the proximal edge 1964 to the frame of the absorbent article by a bond 1965 which may be made by gluing, fusion bonding, or a combination of other suitable bonding processes. The. The 1965 connection at the proximal edge 1964 can be continuous or intermittent. The 1965 connection closest to the raised section of the 1934 leg cuffs delimits the proximal edge 1964 from the upright section of the 1934 leg cuffs. The barrier leg cuffs 1934 may be attached to the top sheet 1924 or the bottom sheet 1925, or may be a separate material attached to the frame of the absorbent article. The barrier leg cuff material 1934 may extend through the entire length of the layers, but may be "adhesively bonded" to the top sheet 1924 towards the front waist edge 1910 and the rear waist edge 1912 of the absorbent article so that in these sections the barrier leg cuff material remains flush with the top sheet 1924. Each barrier leg cuff 1934 may include one, two, or more elastic threads or film strips 1935 near its free end edge 1966 to provide a better seal. It should be noted that barrier leg cuffs can similarly be applied to a type of pad structure as described in relation to [Fig. 5]. Such configurations may be desirable in an adult incontinence pad. Any of the configurations described here for barrier leg cuffs can be used for adult incontinence pads. In addition to the barrier leg cuffs 1934, the absorbent article may include sealing cuffs 1932, which are attached to the frame of the absorbent article, specifically to the top sheet 1924 and / or the bottom sheet 1925, and are positioned externally to the barrier leg cuffs 1934. The sealing cuffs 1932 may provide a better seal around the wearer's thighs. Each sealing leg cuff may include one or more elastic threads or elastic elements 1933 in the frame of the absorbent article between the top sheet 1924 and the bottom sheet 1925 in the area of the leg openings. All or part of the sealing leg cuffs and / or sealing cuffs may be treated with a skin-care lotion or composition. The barrier leg cuffs may be constructed in a number of different configurations, including those described in U.S. Patent Application Publication.S. No. 2012 / 0277713. . In one form, the absorbent article may include front tabs 1946 and rear tabs 1940. The tabs may be an integral part of the frame, such as formed from the top sheet 1924 and / or the bottom sheet 1925 as a side panel. Alternatively, as shown in [Fig. 7A], the tabs (1946, 1940) may be separate elements attached by gluing, heat stamping, and / or pressure bonding. The rear tabs 1940 may be stretchable to facilitate the attachment of the tabs 1942 (fasteners 1943) to the receiving area 1944 and to hold the band-fastened diapers in place around the wearer's waist. The tabs Back in 1940, they can also be elastic or stretchable to provide a more comfortable and form-fitting fit by initially adjusting in a way that molds to the shape of the absorbent item to the wearer and maintaining this fit over the entire wearing time well after the absorbent item has been loaded with exudates, since the elasticated tabs allow the sides of the absorbent item to expand and contract. One function of the LMS 1950 is to rapidly collect the fluid and efficiently distribute it to the absorbent core 1928. The LMS 1950 may comprise one or more layers, which may form a single layer or remain as individual layers that can be bonded together. The LMS 1950 may comprise two layers: a distribution layer 1954 and a collection layer 1952 arranged between the absorbent core and the top sheet, but this description is not limited to such a configuration. The LMS 1950 may include a PSA, as this can slow down fluid acquisition and distribution. In other forms, the LMS may be substantially free (e.g., 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% free of) or completely free of PSA. The LMS may also include one or more of a variety of other suitable types of materials, such as open-cell foam, air-jet applied or carded fibers, or resin-bonded nonwoven materials. Examples of suitable LMS are described in applications WO 2000 / 59430 (Daley), WO 95 / 10996 (Richards), US Patent No. 5,700,254 (McDowall), and WO 02 / 067809 (Graef), for example. The LMS 1950 may include a partition layer 1954. The partition layer 1954 may comprise at least 50% or more by weight of crosslinked cellulose fibers, for example. The crosslinked cellulose fibers may be curled, twisted, or looped, or any combination thereof, including curled, twisted, and looped. This type of material is described in US Patent Publication No. 2008 / 0312622 A1 (Hundorf). The LMS 1950 may alternatively or in addition include a collection layer 1952. The collection layer 1952 may be disposed, for example, between the partition layer 1954 and the topsheet 1924. The collection layer 1952 may be, or may include, a nonwoven material, such as an SMS or SMMS material, comprising a spunbond layer, a meltblown layer, and another spunbond layer, or, alternatively, a chemically bonded carded nonwoven. The collection layer 1952 may include air-applied or wet-applied cellulosic fibers, crosslinked cellulosic fibers, or synthetic fibers, or mixtures thereof. The collection layer 1952 may include a roll web of synthetic fibers (which may be treated to increase the void space, such as by forming in the state solid), or a combination of synthetic and cellulosic fibers bonded together to form a bulky, high-loft material. Alternatively, the 1952 collection layer may include an open-cell absorbent foam. The nonwoven material may be latex-bonded. The LMS 1950 of the absorbent article 1900 may include channels that generally allow for better adaptation of the absorbent article to the wearer's anatomy, resulting in increased freedom of movement and reduced gaping. One or more of the channels in the LMS 1950 may be configured to work in conjunction with various channels in the absorbent core 1928, as discussed previously. Furthermore, the channels in the LMS 1950 may also provide increased empty space to retain and distribute urine, feces, or other bodily exudates within the absorbent article, resulting in reduced leakage and skin contact. The channels in the LMS 1950 may also provide usable internal cues, especially when highlighted through physical differences in texture, color, and / or pattern, to facilitate achieving proper alignment of the absorbent article on a wearer.Thus, such physical differences can be, for example, visually and / or tactilely perceptible. Indi 'humidi i With reference to Figures 7A and 8, the absorbent articles 1900 of this description may include graphic elements 780 and / or moisture indicators 800 that are visible from the surface facing the garment 702. The graphic elements 780 may be printed on the receiving area 740, the backing sheet 1925, and / or in other locations. The moisture indicators 800 are typically applied to the side facing the absorbent core of the backing sheet 1925, so that they may come into contact with bodily exudates within the absorbent core 1928. In some cases, the moisture indicators 800 may form parts of the graphic elements 780. For example, a moisture indicator may appear or disappear and create / remove a character within certain graphic elements.In other cases, the 800 humidity indicators may coordinate (e.g., same design, same pattern, same color) or not coordinate with the 780 graphic elements. Testing methods ASTM F88-06 — Tensile Strength This test method determines the strength of a seal in flexible barrier materials by measuring the force required to separate a test strip from the material containing the seal. Seal strength is measured according to a standardized ASTM F0088-06 procedure on a constant rate-of-extension tensile tester, with the procedural specifics noted here. A suitable instrument is The Instron Model 5965 using Bluehill Universal software (both available from Instron Norwood, MA), or equivalent. All measurements are performed in a laboratory maintained at 23°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 2% relative humidity, and test samples are conditioned in this environment for 2 hours prior to testing. The preparation of the test specimens and the test procedure are described in the referenced ASTM procedure, with the following specific details. The test specimen is cut to a width of 1.0 inch, the clamp separation speed is 300 mm / min, and the tail-holding method is unsupported. The maximum force encountered when the test specimen is stressed to failure is recorded as force per unit width to the nearest 0.1 N / in. The test is repeated for a total of five replicated test specimens. Calculate the arithmetic mean for the maximum seal strength and report it as tensile strength to the nearest 0.1 N / in. ISO 1924-3 - Tensile properties (tensile strength, stretching, energy absorption) The tensile properties (tensile strength, elongation, and energy absorption) of a test sample are calculated from measured force and elongation values obtained using a constant-rate elongation test until the sample breaks. The test is performed in accordance with the standardized procedure ISO 1924-3, with the modifications noted herein. Measurements are taken on a constant-rate extension tensile tester using a load cell for which the measured forces are between 1% and 99% of the cell limit. A suitable instrument is the MTS Alliance using Test Suite software, available from MTS Systems Corp., Eden Prairie, MN, or an equivalent instrument. All measurements are performed in a laboratory maintained at 23°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 2% relative humidity, and test samples are conditioned in this environment for at least 2 hours prior to testing. Measurements are taken on both SM (machine direction) and ST (transverse direction) test samples taken from rolls or sheets of the raw material, or from finished packaging. When excising the test sample from finished packaging, care must be taken to avoid contaminating or deforming the sample during the process. The excised sample must be free of residual adhesive and taken from an area of the packaging free of any seams or folds. The test sample is cut to a width of 25.4 mm with a length that can accommodate a test span of 50.8 mm. The long side of the sample is parallel to the direction of interest (SM, ST). Normally in finished packaging, the SM extends from the bottom to the top of the packaging, but This can be verified by determining the fiber orientation if there is any doubt. Ten replicated test samples should be prepared from the SM and ten additional replicates from the ST. Program the tensile tester for a constant uniaxial extension rate until failure as follows. Set the reference length (test span) to 50.8 mm using a calibrated gauge block and zero the crosshead. Insert the test specimen into the clamps so that the long side is centered and parallel to the tensile tester's central axis. Lift the crosshead at a rate of 25.4 mm / min until the test specimen breaks, collecting force (N) and extension (mm) data at 100 Hz throughout the test. Plot a force (N) versus extension (mm) graph. Read the maximum force (N) from the graph and record it as the force peak at the nearest 0.1 N, labeling it SM or ST. Read the extension at maximum force (N) on the graph and record it as the elongation at break to the nearest 0.01 mm, indicating SM or ST.On the graph, determine the point (z) where the tangent to the curve, with a slope equal to the maximum slope of the curve, intersects the axis of elongation. Now calculate the area under the force-elongation curve from the point z to the point of maximum force and report to the nearest 0.1 mJ, indicating SM or ST. [Refer to Figure 2 in 1TSO 1924-3 for a representation of a typical force-elongation curve where the point z is indicated]. Calculate the arithmetic mean of the peak force for all SM replicas and then all ST replicas, and record these values respectively as the average SM peak force and the average ST peak force, rounded to the nearest ±0.1 N. Calculate the arithmetic mean of the elongation at break for all SM replicas and then all ST replicas, and record these values respectively as the average SM elongation at break and the average ST elongation at break, rounded to the nearest 0.01 mm. Calculate the arithmetic mean area under the force-elongation curve for all SM replicas and then all ST replicas, and record these values respectively as the average area under the SM curve and the average area under the ST curve, rounded to the nearest 0.1 mJ. The tensile strength is calculated by dividing the mean peak force (N) by the width of the test sample (25.4 mm). Calculate the tensile strength for the SM replicas and then the ST replicas, and report them respectively as SM tensile strength and ST tensile strength to the nearest 0.1 kN / m. The elongation at break is calculated by dividing the mean elongation at break (mm) by the initial test length (test span) of 50.8 mm, then multiplying by 100. Calculate the elongation at break for the SM replicas, then the ST replicas, and report respectively as elongation SM at break and elongation ST at break to the nearest percent. ISO 2758 - Burst resistance Burst strength is the maximum uniformly distributed pressure that a test sample can withstand. Burst strength is measured according to the ISO 2758 standard procedure using a test apparatus as described in the procedure. A suitable instrument is the 13-60 Paper and Metal Foil Burst Tester available from Testing Machines, Inc. (New Castle, DE), or equivalent. The instrument is calibrated and operated according to the manufacturer's instructions. All measurements are performed in a laboratory maintained at 23°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 2% relative humidity, and test samples are conditioned in this environment for at least 2 hours prior to testing. Measurements are taken on test samples taken from rolls or sheets of the raw material, or from test specimens obtained from a finished package. When excising the test sample from a finished package, care must be taken not to contaminate or deform the test sample during the process. The test sample must be larger than the clips used to hold it in the instrument. The test sample must be taken from an area free of folds, creases, or seams. Measure burst strength (using sufficient clamping pressure to prevent slippage during the test, and a pumping rate of 95 ± 15 mL / min) for a total of 10 replicated test samples. For side-sensitive samples, the side of the test sample that would normally face the inside of the packaging faces the pressure when placed in the clamps, and 10 replicates are tested in this orientation. For balanced (side-insensitive) samples, 5 replicates are tested with the inside of the packaging facing the pressure, and 5 replicates are tested with the outside of the packaging facing the pressure, and the average of the results is calculated. Record the pressure at which each test sample bursts to the nearest 0.001 kPa.If the burst pressure is less than 70 kPa, multiple layers of the test material must be used. To obtain the burst strength, divide the burst pressure by the number of layers tested. Calculate the arithmetic mean burst pressure for all replicas and report it as the burst strength to the nearest 0.001 kPa. ISO 534 — Caliber The gauge, or thickness, of a single-layer test sample is measured under static load by a micrometer, in accordance with the standardized procedure ISO 534, with the modifications noted herein. All measurements are carried out in a la- laboratory maintained at 23 °C + 2 °C and 50 % + 2 % relative humidity and test samples are conditioned in this environment for at least 2 hours before testing. The gauge is measured with a micrometer equipped with a pressure foot capable of exerting a constant pressure of 70 kPa ± 0.05 kPa on the test specimen. The micrometer is a deadweight type instrument with readings accurate to 0.1 micrometer. A suitable instrument is the TMI Model 49-56 digital micrometer, available from Testing Machines Inc., New Castle, DE, or equivalent. The pressure foot is a circular, flat-bottomed movable face with a diameter smaller than that of the test specimen and capable of exerting the required pressure. A suitable pressure foot has a diameter of 16.0 mm. The test specimen is supported by a horizontal, flat reference platform that is larger than and parallel to the surface of the pressure foot. The system is calibrated and implemented according to the manufacturer's instructions. Measurements are taken on single-layer test samples taken from rolls or sheets of the raw material, or from finished packaging. When excising the test sample from finished packaging, care must be taken to avoid contaminating or deforming the sample during the process. The excised sample must be free of residual adhesive and taken from an area of the packaging free of any seams or folds. Ideally, the test sample is 200 mm in diameter and should be larger than the pressure foot. To measure the gauge, begin by zeroing the micrometer against the flat, horizontal reference platform. Place the test sample on the platform with the test location centered under the pressure foot. Gently lower the pressure foot at a rate of 3.0 mm per second until full pressure is applied to the test sample. Wait 5 seconds, then record the gauge of the test sample to the nearest 0.1 micrometer. Repeat this procedure for a total of ten replicated test samples. Calculate the arithmetic mean for all gauge measurements and report the value as the gauge to the nearest 0.1 micrometer. ISO 536 - Surface mass The surface mass of a test sample is the mass (in grams) per unit area (in square meters) of a single layer of material and is measured in accordance with the ISO 536 standard procedure. The test sample is cut to a known area, and the sample mass is determined using an analytical balance accurate to 0.0001 grams. All measurements are performed in a laboratory maintained at 23°C ± 2°C and 50% ± 2% relative humidity, and the test samples are conditioned in this environment for at least 2 hours before the test. Measurements are taken from test samples removed from rolls or sheets of the raw material, or from finished packaging. When excising a test sample from finished packaging, care must be taken to avoid contaminating or deforming the sample during the process. The excised sample must be free of residual adhesive and taken from an area of the packaging free of any seams or folds. The test sample should be as large as possible to account for any inherent variability in the material. Measure the dimensions of the single-layer test sample using a calibrated steel ruler conforming to NIST standards, or equivalent. Calculate the area of the test sample and record to the nearest 0.0001 square meter. Use an analytical balance to determine the mass of the test sample and record to the nearest 0.0001 gram. Calculate the density per unit area by dividing the mass (in grams) by the area (in square meters) and record to the nearest 0.01 gram per square meter (g / m²). Repeat this process similarly for a total of ten replicated test samples. Calculate the arithmetic mean for the density per unit area and report to the nearest 0.01 gram per square meter. bag pile height test The stack height in a bag of absorbent material packaging is determined as follows: Horse A thickness tester with a rigid, flat, horizontal sliding plate is used. The thickness tester is configured so that the horizontal sliding plate moves freely in a vertical direction, while the horizontal sliding plate is always held in a horizontal orientation directly above a rigid, flat, horizontal base plate. The thickness tester includes a suitable device for measuring the gap between the horizontal sliding plate and the horizontal base plate to an accuracy of ±0.5 mm. Both the horizontal sliding plate and the horizontal base plate are larger than the surface area of the absorbent material packaging that comes into contact with each plate; that is, each plate extends beyond the contact surface of the absorbent material packaging in all directions.The horizontal sliding plate exerts a downward force of 850 + 1 gram-force (8.34 N) on the absorbent item packaging, which can be obtained by placing a suitable weight on the center of the upper surface not in contact with the packaging of the horizontal sliding plate so that the total mass of the sliding plate plus the added weight is 850 + 1 gram. Testing procedure Absorbent material packages are balanced at 23 + 2 °C and 50 + 5% relative humidity before measurement. The horizontal sliding plate is raised, and a package of absorbent material is placed in the center beneath the horizontal sliding plate so that the absorbent material inside the package is horizontally oriented (see Figure 3). Any handles or other packaging elements on the surfaces of the package that could come into contact with either of the plates are folded flat against the surface of the package to minimize their impact on the measurement. The horizontal sliding plate is lowered slowly until it makes contact with the top surface of the package and then released. The gap between the horizontal plates is measured at +0.5 mm ten seconds after the horizontal sliding plate is released.Five identical packs (packs of the same size and the same number of absorbent items) are measured and the arithmetic mean is given as the pack width. The "pile height in bag" = (pack width / number of absorbent items per pile) x 10 is calculated and given at + 0.5 mm. Method for measuring the percentage of dye coverage The dye coverage percentage measurement method measures the percentage area of dye coverage on a packaging panel. A flatbed scanner capable of scanning a minimum of 24 bits at 800 dpi with manual color management control (a suitable scanner is an Epson Perfection V750 Pro from Epson America Inc., Long Beach, CA, or equivalent) is used to acquire images. The scanner interfaces with a computer running color calibration software capable of calibrating the scanner against an ITS color reflection target using a corresponding reference file conforming to the ANSI IT8.7 / 2-1993 method (suitable color calibration software is Monaco EZColor or ilStudio, available from X-Rite, Grand Rapids, MI, or equivalent).The color calibration software builds an International Color Consortium (ICC) color profile for the scanner, which is used to color correct an output image using an image acquisition program that supports the application of ICC profiles. The color-corrected image is then segmented via color thresholding using color analysis software (suitable color analysis software is MATLAB R2017b available from The Mathworks, Inc., Natick, MA). The samples are conditioned at approximately 23°C + 2°C and approximately 50% + 2% relative humidity for 2 hours prior to testing. The scanner is turned on 30 minutes before calibration and image acquisition. Deselect any automatic color correction or image management options. Colors that can be included in the scanner software. If automatic color management cannot be disabled, the scanner is not suitable for this application. The recommended procedures of the color calibration software are followed to create and export an ICC color profile for the scanner. The color calibration software compares an acquired IT8 target image to a matching reference file to create and export the ICC color profile for a scanner, which will be applied within the image analysis program to correct the color of subsequent output images. A sample is obtained from packaging or packaging materials with identified panels. A single panel is selected and cut along its perimeter for removal for testing. The panels selected for testing must not contain any visible tears or creases. The scanner lid is opened, and the sample is carefully placed flat on the center of the scanner glass with the colored surface facing the glass. A scan containing a panel region is acquired at 24-bit color with a resolution of 800 dpi (approximately 31.5 pixels per mm) in reflectance mode. The ICC color profile is assigned to the image, producing a color-corrected sRGB image. This calibrated image is saved in an uncompressed format to retain the calibrated RGB color values, such as a TIFF file, before analysis. The calibrated image is opened in the color analysis software. The image is smoothed using a 2D Gaussian filter with a sigma of 3 to blur any individual dye spots. Then, using a color thresholding program, a color space for implementing color thresholding is selected, for example, CIELAB with its three color values L*, a*, b*. Next, a region of interest (ROI) boundary is manually drawn within a visibly perceptible area of only the base color, with no dye present, to identify its color space values. A panel with no visible base color region will be considered to have 100% dye coverage.The thresholding levels in all three channels of the selected color space are then manually adjusted to segment the regions of the panel that contain dye coverage from those regions of the base color. The area of the panel containing dye coverage is measured, and the percentage of the panel area containing dye coverage is calculated and recorded to the nearest whole percent. Similarly, prepare, scan, and analyze six replicated conditioning panels. Calculate and report the arithmetic mean of the measured area values as a percentage of dye coverage to the nearest whole number. TTVESCC and TTVE This test procedure is implemented according to ASTM F1249-13 under the following test conditions: The temperature is 38 °C (+0.56 °C) and the relative humidity is 90% (+3%). The water vapor transmission rate is reported in g / m² / day. The dimensions and values described here should not be understood as being strictly limited to the exact numerical values cited. Instead, and unless otherwise indicated, each of these dimensions corresponds both to the stated value and to an equivalent functional range around that value. For example, a dimension described as "40 mm" means "approximately 40 mm".
