Patent Summary

A method for manufacturing a package for a stack of absorbent articles comprises arranging the stack in a paper bag featuring a closed bottom, an open top, a peripheral wall, and a sealable coating on the inner surface near the top. Before sealing the coating to close the top, the open top end includes a manipulation part with multiple holes. Prior to filling, the bag is positioned on a stack of bags with pins extending through these holes. The arranging step involves opening the bag while held by the pins and pushing in the absorbent articles. The pins include retarding elements, and the manipulation part's holes are guided over these retarding elements during the bag-opening process.
