Abstract

The invention illustrates and describes a packaging bag, particularly a foil packaging for hygiene products, comprising a packaging body ( 1, 1′, 1′ ), in which a tab ( 5, 5′, 5′ ) is defined by a perforation ( 6, 6′, 6′ ), and an adhesive strip ( 8, 8′, 8′ ), which is fixed to the tab ( 5, 5′, 5′ ) and a region of the packaging body ( 1, 1′, 1′ ) adjoining thereon and extends across the perforation ( 6, 6′, 6′ ) such that the tab ( 5, 5′, 5′ ) can be separated from the region of the packaging body ( 1, 1′, 1′ ) adjoining the tab ( 5, 5′, 5′ ) by pulling off the adhesive strip ( 8, 8′, 8′ ) in order to form a removal opening, wherein the tab ( 5, 5′, 5′ ) at the edge region thereof provided with the adhesive strip ( 8, 8′, 8′ ) has a tearing aid ( 7, 7′, 7′ ) protruding into the adjoining region of the packaging body ( 1, 1′, 1′ ), said aid being located substantially beneath the adhesive strip ( 8, 8′, 8′ ).
