Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fitment for a sachet includes a body having a slot that extends from a lower surface of the body toward an upper surface of the body. The upper surface caps the slot in a first portion of the body such that fluid flow is prevented through the first portion of the body in a direction from the lower surface toward the upper surface. The slot connects to an opening in the upper surface in a second portion of the body. A flow path exists through the slot and the opening in the second portion of the body in the direction from the lower surface toward the upper surface.

What is claimed is: 1. A packaging system, comprising: a sachet comprising a front panel and a back panel that are coupled to one another, wherein the front panel and the back panel define an interior volume having a consumer product disposed therein; and a fitment comprising a body having a slot that extends from a lower surface of the body toward an upper surface of the body, wherein the upper surface caps the slot in a first portion of the body such that fluid flow is prevented through the first portion of the body in a direction from the lower surface toward the upper surface, wherein the slot connects to an opening in the upper surface in a second portion of the body, wherein a flow path exists through the slot and the opening in the second portion of the body in the direction from the lower surface toward the upper surface, wherein the fitment is adhered to the front panel or the back panel of the sachet, and wherein the sachet is configured to be inserted at least partially into the slot of the fitment after being removed from the front panel or the back panel. 2. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the sachet is configured to be torn by a user to provide an opening in the sachet, and wherein the fitment is configured to seal the opening in the sachet when the sachet is inserted in the slot and the first portion of the body is aligned with the opening in the sachet. 3. The packaging system of claim 2 , wherein the fitment is configured to allow the consumer product to flow through the opening in the sachet when the sachet is inserted in the slot and the second portion of the body is aligned with the opening in the sachet. 4. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein a first recess is defined in the lower surface of the second portion of the body, wherein a second recess is defined in the upper surface of the second portion of the body, and wherein the first and second recesses are aligned with one another.
