Self-heating pre-moistened wipe(s) package

Abstract

A package for storing and heating a product includes a first sealable envelope having a region located inside the first sealable envelope, the region containing a first agent. The package further includes a sealed bag located inside the first sealable envelope and containing a second agent. The sealed bag is capable of being breached at a section allowing the second agent to react with the first agent generating heat within a heating region. The package further includes a second sealable envelope comprising a region for containing the product. A portion of the second sealable envelope is located within the heating region and the heat from the reaction heats the product located in the heating region. The first sealable envelope is compressible about the section of the sealed bag and contents of the first sealable envelope about the section of the sealed bag are flexible.
