More Information
Summary:The present invention provides an article of manufacture or package for containing and dispensing unitized doses of a laundry additive in article form. The package comprises a plurality of laundry additive articles, means for preventing exposure of the laundry articles to moisture prior to dispensing or use, and a container having a compartment and closure for enclosing the plurality of articles in the container. The container can be a tub, tray, jar, bottle, pouch, bag, box or some combination thereof and will preferably be made from polymeric materials. Optionally, the container may have dividing means for subdividing the container compartment into subcompartments so that the container can accommodate a variety of different additives in separate compartments. Optionally, but preferably, the container closure will have child resistant features as well as a window or other means for viewing the contents of the package when the closure is in a closed position. The means for preventing exposure of the articles to moisture may simply be a seal about the container closure or it may comprise separate a seal for each laundry additive article. Seals for the individual articles will preferably be a tray with a recess formed therein for receiving the laundry additive article and a polymeric film adhered to the tray over the recess to seal the article within.
