Claims4
A package for compressed diapers comprising:
- a) at least one unit package containing a plurality of compressed diapers;
- b) an inner paper wrapping encircling said at least one unit package to maintain said plurality of compressed diapers in a compressed condition, said inner wrapping having at least four sides wherein at least two of said four sides are disposed parallel to a direction of compression of said compressed diapers;
- and
- c) an outer covering surrounding said at least one unit package external to said inner paper wrapping, said outer covering being made of a film of thermoplastic material having a strength insufficient to prevent said plurality of compressed diapers from expanding, said package thereby decoupling resistance of compression stresses from resistance of environmental stresses in order to provide a lightweight, inexpensive package.
