Abstract

Examples comprise a consumer product comprising a container with a first part comprising a first compartment in which detergent composition is contained and is accessible through a first opening. The container comprises a second part positioned to prevent access through the first opening. The container comprises a locking means. The first part comprises an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein the interior surface faces the first compartment; and wherein the interior surface is constructed from paper-based material. The first part is a box comprising at least a base and sidewalls, whereby the first opening is located in a specific sidewall.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 .

 wherein the container comprises a second part, wherein the second part is positioned so that it prevents access through the first opening when the container is not in use, but is moveable to allow access to the first opening when the container is in use; and   wherein the container comprises a locking means wherein the locking means comprises a first locking component on the first part and a second locking component on the second part, wherein the first locking component engages the second locking component to prevent movement of the second part to allow access to the first opening until the first locking component and second locking component are disengaged from one another by a user; and   wherein the first part comprises an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein the interior surface faces the first compartment; and   wherein at least part of the interior surface of the first part is constructed from paper-based material;   wherein the first part is a box comprising at least a base and sidewalls, whereby the first opening is located in a specific sidewall.   
     
     
         2 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the box comprises at least about six sides, whereby at least about two specific sides of the at least about six sides are larger in surface area than any other sides, whereby the specific sidewall corresponds to one of the specific sides. 
     
     
         3 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the first opening is located in a region of the specific sidewall away from the base. 
     
     
         4 . The consumer product according to  claim 3 , wherein the first opening is a permanent opening. 
     
     
         5 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the first opening is located in a region of the specific sidewall adjacent to the base. 
     
     
         6 . The consumer product according to  claim 5 , wherein the first opening is a reclosable opening. 
     
     
         7 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the first opening spans an area of at least about 25 cm 2 . 
     
     
         8 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the consumer product comprises at least one water-soluble unit dose article, wherein the at least one water-soluble unit dose article comprises at least one water-soluble film orientated to create at least one unit dose internal compartment, wherein the at least one unit dose internal compartment comprises the detergent composition, and wherein the water-soluble film of the at least one unit dose article directly contacts the paper-based material of the internal surface of the first part. 
     
     
         9 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the entire interior surface of the first part is constructed from a paper-based material. 
     
     
         10 . The consumer product according to  claim 9 , wherein the whole of the first part is constructed from a paper-based material. 
     
     
         11 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the second part comprises an interior surface and an exterior surface and wherein at least part of the interior surface of the second part is constructed from a paper-based material. 
     
     
         12 . The consumer product according to  claim 11 , wherein the entire interior surface of the second part is constructed from a paper-based material. 
     
     
         13 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein;
 a. the first locking component is constructed from a paper-based material; or   b. the second locking component is constructed from a paper-based material; or   c. a combination thereof.   
     
     
         14 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the paper-based material comprises paper, cardboard, or a mixture thereof. 
     
     
         15 . The consumer product according to  claim 14 , wherein cardboard comprises paper-board, corrugated fibre-board, or a mixture thereof. 
     
     
         16 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the first locking component is a tab that protrudes from the exterior surface of the first part and wherein the second part comprises an abutment with which the first locking tab is able to releasably engage. 
     
     
         17 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the second part is a sleeve that receives the first part therein and wherein the first part is able to slide within the second part between an open position in which the first opening is accessible and wherein the first locking component and second locking component are disengaged from one another, and a closed position in which the second part blocks access to the first opening, and wherein the first locking component and the second locking component are engaged. 
     
     
         18 . The consumer product according to  claim 1 , wherein the second part is a removable lid, wherein the second part, in a closed position, blocks access to the first opening and when in a closed position the first locking component is engaged with the second locking component, and when in an open position the first locking component and second locking component are disengaged and the second part is removable to allow access to the first opening. 
     
     
         19 . The consumer product according to  claim 18 , wherein the second part is attached to the first part via a hinge or wherein the second part can be completely removed from the first part.
