Fabric for White Snus Pouch

Abstract

A pouch suitable for a white snus, wherein the white snus includes carrier material and nicotine without tobacco being present, includes a fabric, and a surface of the fabric is at least partially coated with an odorizing composition including tobacco particles having an average size ≤30 μm. A method for manufacturing a pouch for white snus includes the steps of providing fabric, providing an odorizing composition including tobacco particles having an average size ≤30 μm, coating at least parts of a surface of the fabric with the odorizing composition, forming a pouch from the fabric and filling a white snus composition in the pouch. The odorizing composition is an ink, preferably including a liquid and a coloring agent, wherein the liquid is preferably selected from a group including water, propylene glycol, and glycerin, propylene glycol, and glycerin.

         7 . The pouch suitable for white snus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein:   the odorizing composition is located only on parts of the surface of the fabric in a predetermined pattern, wherein the pattern is selected from a group comprising a letter, a logo, a symmetric geometrical pattern or shape, a company logo, a company name, a trademark, and a machine-readable code, wherein the machine-readable code is selected from a group comprising EAN, UPC, IAN, JAN, ITF, 2/5i, Code39, Code93, Codabar, Code128 Codablock, Code49, PDF417, QR-Code, DataMatrix, MaxiCode, Aztec-Code, JAB-Code, Han Xin-Code, Dot-Code A, Snowflake code, BeeTagg Composite-Code, and RM4SCC.   
     
     
         8 . The pouch suitable for white snus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein:   a contrast between the surface of the fabric coated with the odorizing composition and the surface of the fabric which is not coated with the odorizing composition is at least of grade C measured according to IS O/IEC 15416:2016 or ISO/IEC 15415:2011.   
     
     
         9 . The pouch suitable for white snus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein:   an amount of the tobacco particles is less than 2% (weight/weight) of the pouch.   
     
     
         10 . The pouch suitable for white snus according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein:   odorizing molecules from the odorizing composition are releasable by an activation signal.   
     
     
         11 . The pouch suitable for white snus according to  claim 10 , wherein:
 the activation signal is selected from a group comprising temperature change, human contact, friction, mechanical strain, exposure to visible light, humidity change, pressure change, electric signal, UM-light, IR-radiation, light and electromagnetic radiation.
