Abstract

Soft packs for paper tissues are usually made of a thin foil. A tear-open flap is formed from weakening lines and can be torn with an attached adhesive tape (22) in order to open the pack. To avoid a further accidental tearing of the pack, reinforcements which locally increase the tearing resistance of the wrapper are arranged in the region of weakening line ends (21).
