Packaging system having a fragrance composition carrier

Abstract

The invention relates to a packaging system comprising a closable container for receiving a plurality of water-soluble film pouches and at least one scent composition carrier that can be freely positioned in the container, at least one first group of water-soluble film pouches that stores at least one washing or cleaning agent preparation containing a scent composition.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A packaging system comprising
 a closable container for receiving a plurality of water-soluble film pouches and at least one scent composition carrier that can be freely positioned in the container,   at least one first group of water-soluble film pouches that stores at least one washing or cleaning agent preparation containing a scent composition,
 wherein the scent composition is present in the washing or cleaning agent preparation in a concentration from 0.1 to 5 wt. %, 
   at least one scent composition carrier that can be positioned in the container, wherein
 the scent composition in and/or on the scent composition carrier and the scent composition in at least the first group of water-soluble film pouches are substantially olfactometrically identical, 
 the surface ratio of film pouch to scent composition carrier is in the range from 1 to 200, 
 the weight ratio between the scent composition in the washing or cleaning agent preparation of a film pouch and the scent composition carrier is in the range from 1 to 300, 
 the ratio of volume of the container to free volume between the film pouches is in the range from 1 to 5. 
   
     
     
         2 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the scent composition is defined as follows:
 a. less than 25% of the scent composition has a c log P>4 and a boiling point>250° C.,   b. less than 70% of the scent composition has a c log P>3 and a boiling point>200° C.,   c. more than 30% of the scent composition has an odor detection threshold (ODT)<50 μg/m 3 .   
     
     
         3 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein a water-soluble film pouch has a scent composition permeability of <0.01 g/m 2  h. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the scent composition of the scent composition carrier is defined as follows:
 a. less than 25% of the scent composition has a c log P>4 and a boiling point>250° C.,   b. less than 70% of the scent composition has a c log P>3 and a boiling point>200° C.,   c. more than 10% of the scent composition has a c log P<2 and   d. more than 30% of the scent composition has an odor detection threshold (ODT)<50 μg/m 3 .   
     
     
         5 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the scent composition of the washing and cleaning agent composition is defined as follows:
 a. less than 25% of the scent composition has a c log P>4 and a boiling point>250° C.,   b. less than 70% of the scent composition has a c log P>3 and a boiling point>200° C.,   c. less than 10% of the scent composition has a c log P<2 and   d. more than 30% of the scent composition has an odor detection threshold (ODT)<50 μg/m 3 .   
     
     
         6 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the scent composition carrier has a Bendtsen surface roughness of between 100 and 5000 ml/min. 
     
     
         7 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the water-soluble film pouch is manufactured from a PVA film. 
     
     
         8 . The packaging system according to  claim 1 , wherein the scent composition carrier is formed from a pulp-based material. 
     
     
         9 . A method for packaging and storing water-soluble film pouches in a packaging system, in particular according to  claim 1 , wherein the packaging system comprises:
 a closable container for receiving a plurality of water-soluble film pouches and at least one scent composition carrier that can be freely positioned in the container,   at least one first group of water-soluble film pouches that stores at least one washing or cleaning agent preparation containing a scent composition,
 wherein the scent composition is present in the washing or cleaning agent preparation in a concentration from 0.1 to 5 wt. %, 
   at least one scent composition carrier that can be positioned in the container, wherein
 the scent composition in and/or on the scent composition carrier and the scent composition in at least the first group of water-soluble film pouches are substantially olfactometrically identical, 
 the surface ratio of film pouch to scent composition carrier is in the range from 1 to 200, 
 the weight ratio between the scent composition in the washing or cleaning agent preparation of a film pouch and the scent composition carrier is in the range from 1 to 300, 
 the ratio of volume of the container to free volume between the film pouches is in the range from 1 to 5, 
   comprising the following process steps:   (a.) filling the container with at least the first group of water-soluble film pouches,   (b.) positioning the at least one scent composition carrier in the container, wherein process steps (a.) and (b.) can be performed in any order,   (c.) closing the container,   (d.) storing the closed container for at least 24 hours.
