- a first aspect of the invention provides a package comprising a case; an arm pivotally mounted to the case; and one or more sachets of flexible material mounted to the arm, wherein the arm can be pivoted between a closed position in which the sachet is enclosed within the case, and an open position in which the sachet is accessible so as to enable the sachet to be opened.
- the sachet is typically opened by rupturing the sachet, preferably along a performed line of weakness (for example formed by a line of perforations).
- a spring mechanism is provided so as to bias the arm towards its open position, and a releasable catch retains the arm in its closed position.
- the sachet may be mounted to the arm in a variety of ways.
- the arm has one or more hooks (or other projections) which pass through one or more respective holes in the sachet. This enables the sachet to be easily replaced with another sachet after the contents of the sachet have been removed.
- the package further comprises one or more additional arms pivotally mounted to the case, each arm carrying one or more sachets of flexible material.
- the case has attachment means which enables the case to be removably attached to the case of another package according to the first aspect of the invention.
- the case may have one or more studs which are received as a push-fit or click-fit in holes formed in the other case.
- a second aspect of the invention provides a package comprising two or more sachets of flexible material, wherein each sachet is connected to an adjacent sachet along a first portion of an edge of the sachet to enable the sachets to be folded along their connecting edges so as to lie face to face, and wherein each sachet is unconnected to the adjacent sachet along a second portion of the edge of the sachet so as to enable each sachet to be gripped to open the sachet.
- a third aspect of the invention provides a package comprising two or more sachets of flexible material, wherein the sachets are connected to each other at one corner only.
- the sachets are glued together.
- a hole is hole formed through the sachets at the connected corner to enable a tag or other connector to be passed through the hole.
