Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a foil bag for packaging moist tissues, said foil bag, which is formed from a hose-like, flexible foil, comprising on its top side a dispensing opening for one-by-one removal of the moist tissues. To provide a foil bag of the type mentioned herein above that keeps the tissues moist and clean over a long period of time even after the package has been put to use, a mechanically openable and closable closure element (16) is embedded in an opening provided on the top side (12) of the foil bag (10), said closure element forming a substantially airtight engagement with the foil bag (10) and being reclosable so as to form an airtight engagement after each use.
