Abstract
A pack containing an article such as a bar of soap consists of an inner tubular liner within an outer wrapper. The material of the inner liner is folded over at opposite edges to form increased thickness margins at opposite ends of the pack. The outer wrapping may be of paper and has flap closures at opposite ends which are secured by adhesive. It can be arranged that the adhesive also secures the outer wrapping to the liner, preferably over faces of said folded over margins. By these measures, a more economical pack can be provided, employing a thinner grade of material for the inner liner, without sacrificing the degree of protection afforded to the article within the pack.
