Abstract
A containment () comprises an outer box () defining an inner space where a stack of individual pouches () is arranged. The individual pouches each have a pocket () containing a product, e.g. a thin-film strip (FS), and are designed to be individually removed from the stack. The outer box () comprises a closure () for preventing/allowing access to the individual pouches () and further comprises means () for interacting with the pouches () in a manner such as to allow access to the pocket () upon removing the pouch from the stack. The means () for interacting with the pouches are arranged such that upon removing a pouch () from the stack the pouch is opened along an essential part of its longitudinal extension and is completely removed from the outer box () with no residual part of the pouch () remaining in the outer box.
