Abstract: A moist wipe package 1 comprising moist wipes 11 and a storing body 12 for storing the moist wipes 11 therein, the storing body 12 having a generally rectangular parallelepiped body formed from a generally square sleeve-like packing material whose opposite ends are open, an outlet opening 13 through which said moist wipes 11 are withdrawn being formed in one surface 12a of the packing material, opposite side edge portions 12a', 12a' of one surface 12a and/or opposite side edge portions 12b', 12b' of the other surface 12b opposing the one surface 12a being enhanced in rigidity so that they may have self-supporting properties, and the one surface 12a and the other surface 12b being sealed at the opposite ends, the sealed opposite ends 12d, 12d being fixed so that the one surface 12a forms opposing two end faces 12e in the generally rectangular parallelepiped body.

Abstract: A fiber for clothing, the fiber having a layer of crosslinked enzyme protein on a surface of a single fiber or a monofilament thereof; and a method for producing the fiber for clothing having the steps of immersing a fiber into a solution containing an enzyme protein to adsorb the enzyme protein onto a surface of a single fiber or a monofilament thereof, and crosslinking the enzyme protein adsorbed on the surface of the single fiber or the monofilament with a crosslinking agent.
