A process for the production of water-soluble pouches. The process
comprises the steps of drawing a first film into a mould to form a first
compartment, adding composition to the first compartment, drawing a
second film into the mould to form a second compartment which comprises a
composition and, preferably, sealing. The first film is perforated and
the second film is drawn into the mould by means of suction applied
through the first film. This eliminates the need to align separately
formed pouches or containers. This also reduces the total amount of film
needed to produce a multi-compartment pouch. Furthermore, it is very easy
to vary the film material used according to what properties are desired.
Since the different compartments may require different properties this
adds flexibility to the process.Process particularly suited for the
production of water soluble pouches such as cleaning or fabric care
pouches.
