Definitions

  • the invention relates to a portion pack, preferably a sachet with detergents and / or cleaning agents.
  • Detergents or cleaners are now available to the consumer in a variety of forms. In addition to powders and granules, this offer also includes, for example, liquids, gels or sachets, e.g. (Tablets or filled bags).
  • portion packs in the form of water-soluble packaging with liquid detergents or cleaners are becoming increasingly popular, they fulfill the one hand, the consumer's desire for simplified dosage and on the other hand more and more consumers prefer liquid detergents or cleaners.
  • Manufacturing methods for bag-type portion packages are known in the art. For example, disclosed DE1287502 a process for making thermoformed packages with water-soluble films. The packages are made on a drum. Also revealed EP1360110 such a procedure, with the difference that the forms run on a treadmill instead of on a drum.
  • the known portion packs are very yielding and not dimensionally stable.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a sachet with improved properties, in particular sachets with two or more chambers are dimensionally stable to each other.
  • the water-reactive sachet of the invention comprises a product comprising washing and / or cleaning agents.
  • the product is a detergent.
  • the product is a cleaning agent, preferably a dishwashing detergent.
  • the sachet comprises at least one chamber for storing the product, wherein the chamber is formed of a water-soluble, by deep drawing at least partially plastically deformed film and a water-soluble and dimensionally stable lid. The lid is attached to the water-soluble film with a seal at a sealing area. The product is stored in the space between the water-soluble film and the lid.
  • the lid is injection molded. Injection molding produces a high quality lid with very little material waste. Injection molded lids have very defined lid wall thickness and contours.
  • the lid is punched, preferably punched from a plate. Although slightly more material is consumed in punching, punching can be done very quickly, from one plate. The stamped plate with the residual plate material can then be advantageously recycled by recycling.
  • the sachet comprises at least a second chamber.
  • the second chamber is formed from the water-soluble film and from the water-soluble and dimensionally stable lid.
  • the lid is applied to the water-soluble film with a seal.
  • a second product is stored in a second or further space between the water-soluble film and the lid.

  • each chamber is sealed to a separate sealing area.
  • the chambers can be kept in a certain dimensionally stable arrangement to each other, although each chamber is independent of each other.
  • a sachet with chambers of different foils can be provided.
