Abstract: The arrangement of moistened wafer- /pad forming fiber composite article useful as applicator sachet for applying powder, fluid, cream or scum, nail polish or nail polish remover, comprises packing container with opening for the delivery of the article to ultimate consumer, comprises a pot shaped packing container (6) for the reception of moister sheet and/or fiber composite article (4). The container has an opening (12) for the delivery of the fiber composite article to ultimate consumer. The article consists of a non-woven fiber layer and a liquid impermeable foil layer. The arrangement of moistened wafer- /pad forming fiber composite article useful as applicator sachet for applying powder, fluid, cream or scum, nail polish or nail polish remover, comprises packing container with opening for the delivery of the article to ultimate consumer, comprises a pot shaped packing container (6) for the reception of moister sheet and/or fiber composite article (4). The container has an opening (12) for the delivery of the fiber composite article to ultimate consumer. The article consists of a non-woven fiber layer forming a first continuous topside (20) of the article and a liquid impermeable foil layer forming second continuous topside (22) of the article. The article is moistened with a drinking fluid uniformly moistening the fiber layer and has same orientation in the container such a way that a second top layer of the article is turned to the opening of the container. The drinking fluid contains volatile or easily volatile solvent or their combination. The portion of the volatile solvent is 20-90 wt% related to the total weight of the drinking fluid. The moisture content of the article is 350-600 wt%. The thickness and basic weight of the foil layer is 10-30 mu m and 10-40 g/m 2> respectively. The non-woven fiber layer has a basic weight of 100-200 g/m 2> and thickness of 1.2-2.5 mm measured in dry condition and 1.0-2.5 measured in soaked condition. The non-woven fiber layer has 20-30 wt% micro pile fiber, 9-17 wt% of warm fusible bicomponent binding fiber and 58-66 wt% of cotton fiber. The length of the pilefiber is 15-25 mm. The first topside of the article is structured. The non-woven fiber layer and the foil layer are directly connected with one another by hot melt adhesive and have a sliding friction value of less than 0.8 and bending stiffness of 20-50 mN measured according to the described methods. The diameter of the article is 57-70 mm or the length and breadth stretching of the article are 75-85 mm and 55-65 mm respectively. The opening covers a total visibility side of the container. The article is arranged to an interior wall of the container in play free manner so that an interval of less than 3 mm is present between the article and the interior wall in circumferential direction. A clamp lock container is used as the packing container. The arrangement delivers more than 40 articles. The drinking fluid contains additives of vegetable extract, vegetable oil, vitamin, vitamin derivatives, scent, perfume, refatting agent, body care component, emollient, detergent and/or dye.
