Active agent-containing articles and product-shipping assemblies for containing the same

A product shipping assembly comprising a product comprising a plurality of multi-ply water-soluble articles and a shipping container defining an internal volume sized to removably contain the product;

• wherein the plurality of articles comprise three or more fibrous structure plies and a plurality of particles positioned between at least two of the three or more fibrous structure plies, wherein the three or more fibrous structure plies are bonded to each other by a pressure bond to form the plurality of multi-ply water-soluble articles, the plurality of multi-ply water-soluble articles comprising a plurality of water-soluble fibrous elements wherein at least one of the water-soluble fibrous elements comprises one or more filament-forming materials, and one or more active agents releasable from the one or more water-soluble fibrous elements;
• wherein at least one of the plurality of multi-ply water-soluble articles has:
• a width from about 1 cm to about 11 cm;
• a length from about 1 cm to about 20 cm;
• a height from about 0.01 mm to about 50 mm;
• and
• a density from about 0.05 g/cc to about 0.8 g/cc;
• and
• wherein the product-shipping assembly is substantially dunnage free, and wherein the multi-ply water soluble article exhibits an Average Inter-Ply Peak Peel Force of greater than 0.03 N to about 5.00 N as measured according to the Inter-Ply, Intra-Ply and Whole 180° Peel Test Method such that the multi-ply water soluble article exhibits an Average Hand Dissolution value of less than 30 Dissolution strokes to greater than 0 Dissolution strokes as Measured according to the Hand Dissolution Test Method, an Average Maximum Peak Force of less than 20.00N as measured according to the Modified Circular Bend Test Method, and an Average Bending Stiffness of less than 2500.0 N/m according to the Modified Circular Bend Test Method.
