Description

[0001] Packaging system for wet and dry paper tissues

[0002] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] In addition to the traditional dry paper handkerchiefs, wet wipes are becoming increasingly popular.

[0004] However, these must be packaged in such a way that they do not dry out or do not dry out too quickly.

[0005] For this purpose, they are usually packaged in foil bags or semi-flexible or rigid plastic containers, which, unlike conventional foil packaging, cannot be easily torn open and removed.

[0006] If both wet and dry wipes are needed outside the home, they must be stored separately and carried with you. This requires more space and requires more careful storage.

[0007] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The object of the invention is to carry both dry and moist tissues in one system.

[0009] SOLUTION

[0010] The solution involves storing dry and moist tissues separately in two compartments within a packaging system. The two compartments each have the classic format of a pack of disposable paper tissues and are connected back-to-back.

[0011] The first compartment holds dry tissues and features the familiar tear-off closure with multiple adhesive strips. The second compartment, for moist tissues, has an opening at the top and a flap that not only covers the opening but also covers the top of the compartment on the sides and front. These compartments are provided with a multi-adhesive strip for closure.

[0012] To prevent drying out during prolonged storage, a moisture-absorbing pad is located at the bottom of the second compartment. The moist tissues rest directly against this pad. This allows moisture that escapes when the flap is open or not fully closed to be replenished via capillary action.

[0013] In an extended version, one or more reservoirs containing liquid or semi-liquid, nourishing or fragrant substances are located on the outside of the second chamber and can be squeezed out using pressure.

[0014] DESCRIPTION BASED ON THE DRAWING

[0015] Fig. 1 shows the packaging system (1), consisting of the front compartment (2) for dry paper tissues and the rear compartment (3) for moist paper tissues and a partition wall (6) between the front compartment (2) and the rear compartment (3).

[0016] The front compartment has a resealable flap (4) with multiple adhesive closure strips (7), the rear compartment has a closure flap (5) with a multiple adhesive strip (9) running along its edge, a moisture-containing cushion and reservoir (10) for caring or fragrant substances.
