Abstract
The invention relates to an imposed means of ensuring that the sealing edge(s) of a flat, for instance rectangular, detergent-containing sachets is (are) kept closed. The sealing edge is of the type which is sealed with such a glue that it opens in the water of the washing machine at a temperature above room temperature. The improved means consists in that said sealing edges of the sachets may be bent as they are packaged in a box, as a result of which premature opening of the sachets is prevented during transport or after they have been introduced into the washing machine.
Claims5
A container for detergent, preferably a box, having at least two parallel walls, characterized in that the box comprises a substantial number of stacked detergent feed units that are each in the form preferably of a substantially flat, rectangular sachet, having one or more compartments containing detergent constituents, at least one edge of a compartment being sealed with a glue or other adhesive, which edge opens after a while upon contact with water in a washing machine, said sachets being so packaged in the box that the sealing edges thereof are bent by said parallel walls of the box.
