Abstract:
A packaging unit includes a sheet of packaging material and a disposable hygiene article extending in a longitudinal direction of the elongated sheet and placed on the inner surface of the sheet such that it fits within an area limited by side edge zones and a first longitudinal end zone. The unit is formed by folding the elongated sheet and the disposable hygiene article. The first longitudinal end zone includes at least two adjacent, in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the elongated sheet, resealable adhesive coating strings that extend along the length of the first longitudinal end zone and the strings are arranged such that a central adhesive free area is formed. This adhesive area functions as a gripping gap. A method of forming the packaging unit is also described.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of forming a packaging unit for a disposable hygiene article, comprising the steps of:\n providing an elongated sheet of packaging material having an inner surface and an outer surface a first longitudinal end zone and a second longitudinal end zone, wherein the longitudinal end zones extend in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of the elongated sheet, and two side edge zones which extend in the longitudinal direction of the elongated sheet, attaching an elongated disposable hygiene article extending in the longitudinal direction of the elongated sheet and placing the article on the inner surface of the sheet so that it fits within the area limited by the side edge zones and the first longitudinal end zone, coating resealable adhesive strings along the length of each of the side edge zones and the first longitudinal end zone, and forming a central adhesive free area between the resealable adhesive coating strings in the first longitudinal end zone to form a gripping gap, providing a first folding axis and a second folding axis in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the unit which divide the unit into a first region, second region and a third region, folding the elongated sheet with the disposable hygiene article along the first folding axis inwards, such that the inner surface of the elongated sheet and the resealable adhesive coating strings extending along the side edge zones in the third region and the second region are pressed against each other, folding the elongated sheet with the disposable hygiene article along the second folding axis inwards, such that the outer surface of the sheet in the third region is pressed against the resealable adhesive coating strings in the first region and the inner surface of the sheet in the first region, and closing the packaging unit by applying pressure, wherein when folding the elongated sheet of the packaging material and the disposable hygiene article along the first folding axis inwards such that the inner surface of the elongated sheet and the resealable adhesive coating strings in the side edge zones are pressed against each other, and when the third region is pressed against the outer surface of the sheet in the second region, an end portion extending beyond the second end zone is pressed against the first region, and when folding the elongated sheet with the disposable hygiene article along the second folding axis inwards such that the outer surface of the sheet in the third region is pressed against the resealable adhesive coating strings in the first region and the inner surface of the sheet in the first region, the end portion is pressed towards the first folding axis and therefore forms a gripping portion when the unit is opened.
