Abstract:
A multi-use package comprising:a plural number of individually wrapped absorbent feminine care articles; and reclosable packaging including: a flexible pocket having a hollow interior sized and shaped for receiving said plural number of absorbent feminine care articles; an opening extending into the hollow interior of the pocket sized and shaped for permitting said articles to be withdrawn from the hollow interior of the pocket; and a flap attached to the pocket adapted for covering the opening to retain said individually wrapped absorbent feminine care articles in the hollow interior of the pocket, the flap having a length, a width, a free edge and a free edge margin extending inwardly from the free edge a distance less than both the width and length of the flap, said flap being selectably moveable between an open position in which the opening is generally unobstructed by said flap to permit said article to be withdrawn through the opening and a closed position in which the flap covers the opening to retain said article in the pocket and to prevent said article from passing through the opening, the free edge margin of the flap overlying part of an exterior portion of the pocket in the closed position, wherein the flap includes a visual indicator comprising a colored portion having a color different from a color of the remainder of the flap and the exterior portion of the pocket, the colored portion being elongate and having a length extending along the free edge of the flap within the edge margin off the flag to visually distinguish the free edge of the flap from the pocket when the flap is in the closed position to improve visual identification of the free edge of the flap.
