Improved packaged article

摘要

The present invention is directed to a packaged article comprising at least one article (1) and an openable outer package (18), the article comprising a cell system with at least one burstable cell (11) filled with an active composition, the packaged article being characterized in that the outer package is made out of material which has a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of less than 6g/sqm/day at 40 DEG C/90%RH. Optionally also, the film has an oxygen transmission rate (O2 TR) of less than 200cc/sqm/day/atm at 23 DEG C/50%RH. Preferably, the cell system is associated with a dispersing element, such as for example a fibrous pad, or cotton pad. Preferably, the force required to burst the cells is comprised within the range 10 to 80 N. In one most preferred embodiment, the cells cannot be refilled and so the article is a one-use disposable article. <IMAGE>
