Moisture regulating element for use in packaging

A method comprising regulating the moisture level in a package comprising using a moisture regulating element in the package to draw moisture from the air in the package and give up moisture to the air in the package to regulate the moisture level in the package, the moisture regulating element comprising a plurality of layers of pulp fibres characterized in that the moisture regulating element is configured with a base layer arranged above or below a first layer of pulp fibres and with a cover layer arranged on a side opposite the base layer, wherein the base layer and the cover layer are same or different and each is a nonwoven or tissue, and wherein an additional layer is arranged on the base layer or the cover layer and comprises one of cotton, a nonwoven or perforated film, and the plurality of layers of pulp fibres is substantially built up from a loose filling of pulp fibres loosened in an air stream to provide a plurality of first areas of pulp fibres comprising loose, airlaid pulp fibers and plurality of second areas comprising compacted, airlaid pulp fibers connected to one another in an adhesive free or binder free manner, in which one of the plurality of second areas is present between and connects the plurality of first areas, wherein the layer further comprises solid material incorporated during laying of the pulp fibers and disposed on the pulp fibers of the first areas and the second areas, in which each of the disposed solid material and the pulp fibers of the first areas and the second areas are positioned in the layer to adsorb and to release moisture to the air in the package or draw moisture from the air in the package to regulate moisture content in the package comprising the moisture regulating element, wherein the disposed solid material is layered between layers of the built up pulp fibres, and wherein the solid material present on the pulp fibres in each of the first areas and the second areas to regulate the moisture content is a sugar.
