ABSTRACT:
A flexible package preferably comprised of paper and having an opening system that controls and reduces the initial removal forces required to withdraw the compressed flexible articles from the package after the opening device portion of the system has been activated. A reinforcement sheet located at the lowermost end of the opening system protects the flexible articles contained within the package prior to activation of the opening device, and provides additional support for the package prior to opening. A substantially vertically oriented line of weakness located in the reinforcement sheet ruptures automatically when the opening device is activated permitting the flexible articles to fan out further from the package. This automatic rupturing of the reinforcement sheet reduces the compressive forces acting upon the compressed flexible articles. This in turn permits easier removal of the first few flexible articles from the package either one at a time or in multiples.
