A package and a process for forming the package are provided. The process may include providing a first flexible polymer film and a second flexible polymer film, sealing the first film and the second film together to form an enclosure and at least one tab area, and trapping fluid within a discrete portion of the tab area to form a breachable bubble. The enclosure may define an interior volume configured to receive a consumer product. Fluid trapped within a discrete portion of the tab area to form a breachable bubble may be sufficient to cause the bubble to breach upon application of minimal pressure by a user, separating a sealed portion of the first film from the second film.

1. A process for forming a package comprising: providing a first flexible polymer film and a second flexible polymer film;sealing the first film and the second film together to form an enclosure and at least one tab area, the enclosure defining an interior volume configured to receive a consumer product; andtrapping a fluid within a discrete portion of the tab area to form a breachable bubble by advancing an application of pressure in a direction substantially parallel to the surfaces of the first film and the second film and simultaneously adhering the first film to the second film along a perimeter of the breachable bubble, said breachable bubble for allowing the enclosure to be easily opened, wherein sufficient fluid is trapped to cause the bubble to breach upon application of pressure by a user, and permitting at least portions of the first film and the second film of said at least one tab area defining the bubble to be easily separated for removing the contents from said enclosure. 2. A process as defined in claim 1, wherein a surface of the first film and a surface of the second film are coated with an adhesive layer in order to form the perimeter of the breachable bubble. 3. A process as defined in claim 2, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a cold seal adhesive. 4. A process as defined in claim 2, wherein the adhesive layer coats only the portions of the surfaces of the first and second films to be sealed. 5. A process as defined in claim 2, wherein the adhesive layer coats the entire surfaces of the first and second films. 6. A process as defined in claim 1, wherein sealing the first film and the second film together comprises applying pressure to portions of the first film and the second film in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surfaces of the first film and the second film. 7. A process as defined in claim 1, wherein sealing the first film and the second film together comprises operating a sealing means to seal the first film and the second film together. 8. A process as defined in claim 7, wherein the sealing means comprises at least one sealing device selected from the group consisting of rollers, cams, seal bars and seal plates, and combinations thereof. 9. A process as defined in claim 1, wherein trapping fluid comprises operating a sealing means to trap fluid. 10. A process as defined in claim 9, wherein the sealing means comprises at least one sealing device selected from the group consisting of rollers, cams, seal bars and seal plates, and combinations thereof. 11. A process as defined in claim 1, wherein the tab area is located near the periphery of the first and second films. 12. A process as defined in claim 1, wherein sealing the first film and the second film together comprises forming a first seam, a second seam, and a third seam, the first seam formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the second and third seams. 13. A process as defined in claim 12, wherein forming the second and third seams forms the tab area. 14. A process as defined in claim 13, wherein forming the third seam traps fluid within a discrete portion of the tab area to form a breachable bubble. 15. A process as defined in claim 13, wherein forming the second and third seams traps fluid within a discrete portion of the tab area to form a breachable bubble. 16. A process as defined in claim 1, further comprising the step of providing a consumer product in the interior volume. 17. A process for forming a package comprising: providing a first flexible polymer film and a second flexible polymer film wherein a surface of the first film and a surface of the second film are coated with an adhesive layer;sealing the first film and the second film together to form an enclosure and at least one tab area, the enclosure defining an interior volume configured to receive a consumer product; andtrapping a fluid within a discrete portion of the tab area to form a breachable bubble by advancing an application of pressure in a direction substantially parallel to the surfaces of the first film and the second film and simultaneously adhering the first film to the second film along a perimeter of the breachable bubble, said breachable bubble for allowing the enclosure to be easily opened, wherein sufficient fluid is trapped to cause the bubble to breach upon application of pressure by a user, and permitting at least portions of the first film and the second film of said at least one tab area defining the bubble to be easily separated for removing the contents from said enclosure. 18. A process as defined in claim 17, wherein a breach of the breachable bubble provides access to the enclosure. 19. A process as defined in claim 17, wherein the enclosure is a single enclosure and wherein the interior volume is a single interior volume.
