  • Publication number: 20230128342
    Abstract: There is provided a container (4) for consumer goods, the container (4) comprising a first substrate layer (8) and a second substrate layer (10) overlying the first substrate layer (8). A first portion (3) of the first substrate layer (8) and a first portion (5) of the second substrate layer (10) form a compartment region (7), wherein a perimeter (18) of the compartment region (7) is completely sealed to form a sealed compartment (16) for containing one or more consumer goods. A second portion (9) of the first substrate layer (8) and a second portion (11) of the second substrate layer (8) form an access region (13) directly adjacent to the compartment region (7). The access region (13) comprises an unsealed area (22), wherein a perimeter (20) of the access region (13) extends around the unsealed area (22). The first substrate layer (8) is attached to the second substrate layer (10) at the perimeter of the access region.
