Abstract
A refill container for housing granular products that is adapted to be inserted into a box-type outer package. The refill container is designed so that it is easily collapsible after its use. The container comprises an enclosure formed from opposing top and bottom walls, opposing side walls and opposing front and back walls. The container is sealed so as to prevent the flow of granular products through the enclosure prior to its opening. Lastly the container of the present invention includes a tear strip extending along the front, back and side walls. The tear strip is such that it will extend above the outer box-type package when the refill container is inserted therein.
