The present invention provides a packaging unit for hygiene articles and a method for forming such a unit. The packaging unit comprises a wrap being formed from a sheet of material having an inner surface, an outer surface and at least one folding axis dividing the wrap into a first region and a second region. The inner surface comprises an edge zone comprising an inner edge portion and an outer edge portion, wherein one of the inner edge portion and the outer edge portion of the edge zone of the first region is provided with resealable adhesive, and the other of the inner edge portion and the outer edge portion of the edge zone of the first region is adhesive-free. Further, one of the inner edge portion and the outer edge portion of the edge zone of the second region is provided with resealable adhesive, and the other of the inner edge portion and the outer edge portion of the edge zone of the second region is adhesive-free in a complementary manner to the edge zone of the first region, such that when the wrap is folded about the folding axis, the edge portions carrying resealable adhesive in the first region are brought in contact with the adhesive-free edge portions in the second region, and the edge portions carrying resealable adhesive in the second region are brought in contact with the adhesive-free edge portions in the first region. The packaging unit according to the present invention has a first packaging function as a packaging wrap for a non-used article, and a second disposal function as a disposal wrap for a used article. The packaging unit further comprises a user prompting device having a wrap-facing surface and a user-facing surface, wherein the user prompting device is permanently attached to the wrap such that at least a portion of the wrap-facing surface of the user prompting device is in contact with the inner surface of the wrap. The user prompting device is arranged to prompt the user to employ the second disposal function of the packaging unit. |
