A pouch comprising:

• a nonwoven comprising a nicotine-containing material and at least partially comprising fibers, wherein the fibers are based on cellulose, the nonwoven further comprising,
• a binder partially on a surface of the fibers,
• a plurality of compacted zones in a compacted state, and
• a plurality of non-compacted zones, wherein the non-compacted zones are less compacted or uncompacted relative to the plurality of compacted zones,
• wherein the binder keeps the plurality of compacted zones in the compacted state.

A method for producing a pouch comprising a nonwoven including a nicotine-containing material, comprising:

• moving a web material comprised of a nonwoven including fibers based on cellulose and a binder between an engraving roller having one or more projections on an outer periphery and a smooth roller;
• pressing the engraving roller and the smooth roller against the web material from different sides and running in a circumferential direction on the web material,
• compacting the web material in zones between the engraving roller and the smooth roller by one or more projections, wherein the web material located in zones between regions of the engraving roller that have no projections and the smooth roller is compacted to a lesser extent or not at all;
• interconnecting the fibers of the web material by the binder in compacted zones;
• and
• forming pouches from portions of the nicotine-containing material and severed sections of the web material.
