A method for manufacturing a container for a smokeless-tobacco product, the method comprising:

• providing a fleece material configured to allow a portion of a tobacco material to pass through;
• applying an adhesive to an outer surface of the fleece material;
• and
• coupling a plurality of microcapsules to the fleece material by applying the plurality of microcapsules to the adhesive, the plurality of microcapsules each containing an additive, the plurality of microcapsules releasing the additive in response to a trigger condition associated with use of the smokeless tobacco product.

A method for manufacturing a fleece material for a product adapted for insertion in the mouth of a user, the method comprising:

• receiving a liquid-permeable fleece material;
• applying an adhesive to a surface of the fleece material, wherein the adhesive comprises a food-grade biodegradable polymer adhesive;
• coupling a plurality of microcapsules to the fleece material by applying the plurality of microcapsules to the adhesive, the plurality of microcapsules each containing an additive;
• and
• drying the fleece, including the applied adhesive.

A method for preparing a product adapted for insertion in the mouth of a user, the method comprising:

• receiving a liquid-permeable fleece material comprising a plurality of microcapsules adhered to a surface of the fleece with a food-grade biodegradable polymer adhesive, the plurality of microcapsules each containing an additive;
• configuring the fleece material into the shape of a pouch;
• and
• filling the pouch with a particulate material containing components capable of diffusing through the liquid-permeable fleece material.
