AN ASSEMBLY OF SELF-STANDING POUCHES

摘要

The present invention provides a shipping unit comprising more than one flexible pouch (15) and a secondary package (20). Each flexible pouch is filled with a granular laundry detergent. The secondary package contains the filled pouches of the shipping unit and keeps the filled pouches together in the shipping unit. The secondary package is in a closed position such to prevent the exit of any of the filled pouches prior to opening of the shipping unit. The secondary package is flexible and non-resistant to compression force when the shipping unit is stacked with other shipping units in an assembly, and the granular laundry detergent contained in each flexible pouch has a cake strength of less than or equal to 200 g/cm<2>. This shipping unit is able to carry the load of other stacked shipping units to form an assembly in form of a pallet.
