Resealable flow-wrap pack for wet wipes

Abstract

The present invention relates to a flow-wrap pack for wet wipes. The flow-wrap pack has a film defining a front wall and a back wall, a longitudinal sealed seam in the form of a fin seal and two transverse sealed seams defining a product space. The fin seal has an extended length and lies essentially flat against the back wall of the wrap pack, thereby covering a scored tear line and a resealable strip, said strip extending between the transverse sealed seams at an essentially right angle to the transverse sealed seams.
