Abstract: The present invention encompasses a package comprising a container comprising at least one sheet of sheet material having an interior surface and an exterior surface. The interior surface defines an interior space. A plurality of articles is disposed within the interior space. The articles typically have a predetermined characteristic. The container has a bottom end and a top end. The top end has a drawing means partially enclosed in a peripheral channel/hem. A signal is disposed on the drawing means. The signal corresponds to the predetermined characteristic of the article.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a package adapted to accommodate hygienic articles including a hemispherical shaped indention and an hemispherical extension. The package has a longitudinal axis and transverse axis. The package has a front surface and a back surface. Both the front surface and the back surface have at least one longitudinal side and first transverse side and a second transverse side. The package has a hemispherical shaped indention along the first transverse side and an equally sized and shaped hemispherical extension on the second traverse side.

Abstract: A pouch adapted to accommodate a hygienic article is described. The pouch comprises a body including a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis, and an intended opening axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. The pouch including an oriented, multilayer film laminate. The film laminate includes at least one outer layer comprising 35% to 65% alkaline earth carbonate, the outer layer having a thermal conductivity; and a core layer comprising a lower thermal conductivity that is a lower thermal conductivity than the outer layer. The core layer is in contact with at least one layer of said outer layer. The film laminate is made by coextrusion of the outer layer and the core layer, and subsequent orientation. The film laminate further includes a CD tensile strength and a MD tensile strength wherein a MD:CD tensile strength ratio is at least about 6:1.
