Abstract: The present invention relates to a packaging material for use in an oral pouched snuff product in order to enclose a smokeless tobacco composition or non-tobacco composi¬tion. The packaging material is a saliva-permeable nonwoven comprising carded fibres, whereof 0%-95% of the carded fibres are of a first type and 5%-100% are of a second type. The fibres of the first type are cellulose-based staple fibres. The fibres of the second type are thermoplastic fibres, comprising a first component and a second component, the second component having a lower melting temperature than the first component. The packaging material is bonded by means of at least partial melting and/or softening of the second component of the fibres of the second type and has a smooth-calendered surface. The present invention also relates to an oral pouched snuff product comprising such a packaging material.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a container comprising a plurality of portion packets of a product for oral use.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an oral pouched nicotine product comprising a moist filling material and a saliva-permeable pouch of a packaging material enclosing the moist filling material, wherein the moist filling material comprises a particulate non-tobacco material; a non-encapsulated non-particulate flavouring agent; a nicotine source; a pH adjusting agent; a monoglyceride; and tobacco material within the range of from 0% to % by weight, based on the total weight of the moist filling material.

Abstract: Described is a pouched product for oral use with a filling material and a saliva-permeable pouch.

There is also provided a container having a base and a detachable lid together providing an interior container space in which a plurality of these oral pouched snuff products is contained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for portion-packing of an oral pouched snuff product (1?, 1?). The method comprises a) supplying and advancing a tubular web (19, 19?, 19?) of packaging material enveloping a continuous feed (23, 23?, 23a?, 23b?) of filling material in a direction of travel (L), b) forming transverse seals (39) in the tubular web across the continuous feed of filling material by means of ultrasonic welding, the transverse seals extending in a transverse direction (T) being perpendicular to the direction of travel. The present invention further relates to an arrangement (17, 17?, 17?) for portion-packing of an oral pouched snuff product.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for positioning portion packets of a product for oral use into a container by means of a compartment unit. The compartment unit comprises a plurality of compartments with a respective discharge opening.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing pouched smokeless tobacco products for oral use as well as to a pouched smokeless tobacco product obtainable using this method. The method comprises heat-treating an initial tobacco preparation having water content below 20% w/w, providing a smokeless tobacco composition comprising the heat-treated tobacco preparation and enclosing portions of said smokeless tobacco composition in saliva-permeable pouch material.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing an oral pouched snuff product comprising a filling material (29, 10) and a saliva-permeable pouch (43) enclosing the filling material (29, 10), the product (29, 10) having a moisture content of at most 20% by weight, in particular at most 10% by weight, based on total weight of the product (29, 10), the saliva-permeable pouch (43) having one or more seals (45, 46), and said filling material (29, 10) comprising at least 20% by weight, based on dry weight of the filling material (29, 10), of at least one ingredient having a melting temperature below 180° C., the method comprising ultrasonically welding and cutting an advancing web (32) of packaging material (7) to which the filling material (29, 10) has been supplied.
