Claim:
A three seal sachet for a medicinal product comprising: a) a laminate sheet comprising opposed first and second longitudinal sheet edges and opposed first and second sheet faces; wherein i) the laminate sheet is folded to form a first sachet edge and opposed first and second sachet faces; and ii) the laminate sheet is sealed to itself along marginal portions of the first and second longitudinal sheet edges on the first sheet face, thereby forming a flattened tube, b) first and second transverse seals bonding together the laminate sheet along marginal portions of first and second transverse edges of the sheet on the first sheet face, thereby closing the tube at each end; c) a fold line having a length of at least about 8 mm extending from the first transverse edge of the sheet, through the first transverse seal, to a sachet longitudinal edge; and d) a notch passing through the first transverse seal and intersecting the fold line, wherein said notch is at a distance of at least about 4 mm from each end of the fold line and at a distance of at least about 4 mm from the second longitudinal sachet edge, the distance measured perpendicularly to the second longitudinal sachet edge, such that when the sachet is folded along the fold line a cut edge is revealed for tearing open the sachet; wherein the laminate comprises a layer of acrylonitrile methyl acrylate copolymer resin on the first laminate sheet face and wherein the sachet is both child-resistant and user-friendly to open.
