This disclosure relates generally to packaging and, more particularly, to corrugated packages for pre-saturated wipes.
At times, market demand (both industrial and consumer demand) for pre-saturated wipes from perforated rolls and dispensers exceeds global supply. One challenge involved in meeting increased demand for pre-saturated wipes is the packaging in which the pre-saturated wipes are delivered to the user. Conventional pre-saturated wipe packaging is constructed from molded plastic, which can make increasing supply of the pre-saturated wipe packaging prohibitively expensive.
Corrugated packages for pre-saturated wipes are disclosed, substantially as illustrated by and described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.
These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present disclosure will become better understood when the following detailed description is read with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like characters represent like parts throughout the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a view of an example deconstructed package for pre-saturated wipes, in accordance with aspects of this disclosure.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the example package of FIG. 1 as constructed, in which the cover section is closed.
The figures are not necessarily to scale. Wherever appropriate, similar or identical reference numerals are used to refer to similar or identical components.
Pre-saturated wipes from interleaved stacks or perforated rolls typically require packages or dispensers for dispensing individual wipes from the roll. Conventional packages require expensive molds and injection molding equipment.
Disclosed example packages for pre-saturated wipes are constructed using a corrugated material, such as corrugated cardboard or corrugated plastic, and include an integrated cover section flap. Example packages disclosed herein may be stamped out of sheets of corrugated material, and then folded. Thus, disclosed example packages do not require expensive molds and injection molding equipment.
