Abstract: Method for bagging plurality of compressible absorbent articles which are arranged in parallel, one beside the other. The bag has an approximately rectangular base, a front side, a rear side, two narrow sides, and an upper side and is closed on all sides. The bag also has a line of weakness which marks an opening for the individual removal of the articles. The height of the bag is greater than the depth of the bag, the line of weakness extends, midway along the bag, from the longitudinal center of the upper side, toward the base, about half way down the front side of the bag. The base has a downwardly directed supporting band. The absorbent articles do not exerting sufficient pressure on any of the sides of the bag filled with said articles to cause the opening to gape open. The opening can be formed by bending the bag to open the line of weakness, and it closes after removal of the product when the bag is replaced on its supporting edge.
