The present invention provides a packaging unit for hygiene articles and a method of forming such a unit. The packaging unit is formed from a sheet of material having an inner surface and an outer surface wherein the inner surface comprises an edge zone comprising an inner edge portion and an outer edge portion. The sheet has at least one first folding axis dividing the sheet in to a first region and a second region. One of the inner edge portion and the outer edge portion of the edge zone of the first region is provided with resealable adhesive thus forming a first adhesive zone and the other of the inner edge portion and the outer edge portion of the edge zone of the first region is adhesive free. Further the inner edge portion or the outer edge portion of the edge zone of the second region corresponding to the adhesive carrying edge portion of the first region is adhesive free such that when the sheet is folded about the first folding axis the edge portions carrying resealable adhesive in the first region are brought in contact with the adhesive free edge portions in the second region. A distance between the at least one first folding axis and the first adhesive zone is 1 20mm preferably 2 18mm more preferably 3 15mm.
