A block includes a first layer comprising a semi-solid material, and a second layer comprising an adhesive material, the second layer being attached to the first layer. The semi-solid material may include a deodorizing material, an antiperspirant material, a perfume-related substance, a sanitizing material, a sterilizing material, an air-freshening material, or an insect-repelling material. The block is disposed in an enclosed volume of a packaging, enclosed by a plastic layer and an aluminum foil layer.
1. An item of manufacture comprising:
a packaging comprising:
a first surface comprising:
a first material surrounding a region centrally located on the first surface; and
a plastic layer covering the region, the plastic layer being attached to the first material; and
a second surface opposite the first surface, the second surface comprising:
an aluminum foil layer covering a portion of the second surface that corresponds to the region, the aluminum foil layer being attached to the first material at least around a periphery of the region;
wherein:
the plastic layer and the aluminum foil layer are separated by a volume; and
a block is disposed within the volume, the block comprising:
a first layer comprising a semi-solid material, the semi-solid material comprising cyclomethicone blended with one of stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, hydrogenated castor oil, and glyceryl stearate; and
a second layer comprising an adhesive material, the second layer being attached to the first layer of the block;
wherein the second layer of the block is adjacent to, in contact with, and removably attached to the aluminum foil layer of the packaging.
2. The item of manufacture of claim 1 , wherein the aluminum foil layer is adapted to break as a result of pressure exerted on the block.
3. A product comprising a plurality of the items of manufacture of claim 1 , wherein each of the items of manufacture is attached to at least a second one of the items of manufacture.
