Pouch with absorbent liner and method of forming

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a flexible pouch including a front panel and a back panel. An absorbent material is disposed on an interior of the flexible pouch between the front panel and the back panel. Liquid that is deposited in the flexible pouch is absorbed by the absorbent material and prevented from egress from the flexible pouch. A method to manufacture the flexible pouch with absorbent material is also disclosed.

1 . A flexible pouch comprising:
 a front panel secured to a back panel;   an absorbent material disposed on an interior of the flexible pouch between the front panel and back panel; and   a scented material disposed within the pouch;   wherein liquid material deposited into the flexible pouch is absorbed by the absorbent material and restricted from egress from the flexible pouch.   
     
     
         2 . The flexible pouch of  claim 1  wherein the absorbent material is secured to the front panel or the back panel, the securing material including a scent, the securing material being the scented material disposed within the pouch. 
     
     
         3 . The flexible pouch of  claim 2  wherein the securing material is a scented adhesive. 
     
     
         4 . The flexible pouch of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a fitment with disposed between the front panel and back panel at an edge of the pouch; 
 a cap secured to the fitment; and 
 a scented pad secured to the cap, the scented pad being the scented material. 
 
     
     
         5 . A method of manufacturing a flexible pouch with absorbent material comprising:
 providing a sheet of flexible laminate material;   proving an absorbent material;   securing the absorbent material to the sheet of flexible laminate material;   forming the laminate material into a flexible pouch after the absorbent material has been secured such that the absorbent material is disposed on an interior of the flexible pouch.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein forming the laminate material into a flexible pouch includes:
 overlaying another sheet of laminate material over the absorbent material secured to the flexible laminate material; 
 sealing the sides of the flexible pouch. 
 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  further comprising:
 inserting a gusset between the sheets of laminate material; and 
 sealing the fitment to the laminate material. 
 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claims 5  wherein forming the laminate material into a flexible pouch includes:
 folding the laminate material secured to the absorbent material over onto itself; and 
 sealing the side of the fitment. 
 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  further comprising:
 inserting a gusset between the folded laminate material; and 
 sealing the fitment to the laminate material. 
 
     
     
         10 . A method of manufacturing a flexible pouch with absorbent material comprising:
 providing a flexible pouch with an opening;   providing an absorbent material;   inserting the absorbent material into an interior the flexible pouch through the opening.   
     
     
         11 . The method of manufacturing a flexible pouch with absorbent material of  claim 10  wherein the flexible pouch includes a fitment, and the opening of the flexible pouch is an open in the fitment. 
     
     
         12 . The method of manufacturing a flexible pouch with absorbent material comprising of  claim 10  further comprising:
 providing a fitment; 
 installing the fitment into the opening of the flexible pouch after the absorbent material has been inserted.
