Abstract

A pack for tablet-like objects, such as hygroscopic laundry/dishwasher detergent tablets, for example, includes a dual packing configuration of a closed outer pack containing a plurality of individual film bags, with each of the individual film bags being closed at opposing ends by a transverse seam, and along their lengths by a longitudinal seam. Each of the individual film bags enclose at least one tablet. The individual film bags are inserted into the outer pack with the longitudinal seams of the film bags aligned parallel to one another, and with the sidewalls of the outer pack parallel to the longitudinal seams of the film bags. The longitudinal seams of the film bags are reinforced.
