Problems solved by technology

Products which have only a limited shelf life, such as foodstuffs, are usually packed for sale to end users in relatively small individual packs, which then gives rise to the problem that, when large quantities of such products are sold, it is difficult to provide an (overall) pack that is easy to handle and store.
Loose storage of small individual packs in a larger box, for example, is unsatisfactory because the latter still takes up a relatively large amount of space on shelves and the like even after some of the individual products have been removed.
Nor is it always easy to store loose individual products in boxes tidily.

Especially in the case of an animal food item, the inner pack 6 may contain the quantity needed to satisfy a pet's daily requirements. So that the inner pack 6 may be easily opened when needed, the material may have a breaking line 9 which extends about substantially the entire periphery of the inner pack and permits removal of a lid-like opening portion or upper section 6a of the inner pack 6, so that the individual product (not shown) may be removed from the remaining portion 6b.

[0019] As FIG. 2 shows, the inner pack 6 is inserted into an individual pack 2, with adhesive points 7c on the underside and / or side surfaces of the inner pack 6 serving to preve...
