Multi compartment pouch

Abstract

A flexible pouch having multiple compartments is provided. The compartments are formed by providing additional sealed areas in the flexible pouch that bond a front panel and a back panel of the flexible pouch together thereby creating a barrier between open spaces within the pouch.

 a first panel and a second panel, at least one seal bonding the first panel to the second panel; and   at least two compartments formed by the first panel and the second panel, each compartment having a separate respective opening, the compartments integrally formed, the compartments separated by the at least one seal thereby creating a barrier between open spaces within the pouch and entirely separating the contents of each compartment.   
     
     
         2 . The flexible pouch of  claim 1  wherein the flexible pouch includes three distinct compartments.

         5 . The flexible pouch of  claim 1  wherein the opening is made of a portion of the first panel or the second having a tear seam. 
     
     
         6 . The flexible pouch of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the compartments includes an absorbent material contained therein. 
     
     
         7 . The flexible pouch of  claim 1  wherein the opening includes a reasealable strip having an adhesive. 
     
     
         8 . The flexible pouch of  claim 1  wherein the opening of a second compartment is spaced apart from any portion of the first compartment. 
     
     
         9 . The flexible pouch of  claim 8  where the opening is a tear seam. 
     
     
         10 . A flexible pouch comprising:
 at least two compartments, the compartments each having at least one flexible wall; and   each compartment having a separate respective opening, the compartments integrally formed, the compartments separated by the at least one seal thereby creating a barrier between open spaces within the pouch and entirely separating the contents of each compartment.   
     
     
         11 . The flexible pouch of  claim 10  wherein the flexible pouch includes three distinct compartments. 
     
     
         12 . The flexible pouch of  claim 11  wherein each of the compartments includes a separate respective opening. 
     
     
         13 . The flexible pouch of  claim 10  wherein the opening is a reclosable cap. 
     
     
         14 . The flexible pouch of  claim 10  wherein the opening is made of a portion of the first panel or the second having a tear seam. 
     
     
         15 . The flexible pouch of  claim 10  wherein at least one of the compartments includes an absorbent material contained therein. 
     
     
         16 . The flexible pouch of  claim 10  wherein the opening includes a reasealable strip having an adhesive. 
     
     
         17 . The flexible pouch of  claim 10  wherein a first compartment and a second compartment are provided. 
     
     
         18 . The flexible pouch of  claim 17  wherein the first compartment and the second compartment have a seal positioned between the first compartment and the second compartment. 
     
     
         19 . The flexible pouch of  claim 18  wherein the first compartment is adapted to fold onto the second compartment, the folding occurring at the seal so as to provide for a more compact package.
