Abstract:
A tray for packaging food products which may release smelly volatile substances produced from a sheet of substantially open-cell expanded thermoplastic material containing a finely divided solid material provided with adsorbing properties towards said substances, such as for example aluminium oxide, bentonite, kaolin, activated charcoal, zeolites, synthetic polymers with a high melting point such as polyphenyloxide and polyimides, graphite, mica, diatomaceous earth, pumice and clay; the inner surface of said tray is preferably provided with apertures.
Abstract:
A collapsible shipping container for perishable goods is comprised of an inner, stiff, corrugated paperboard box having interior surfaces forming an enclosure of defined shape and opposing exterior surfaces. A surrounding skin of thermally insulating material is adhesively secured to the exterior surfaces of the corrugated paperboard box. The thermally insulating skin envelopes the box therewithin. Unlike conventional systems, the thermally insulating skin is located on the outside surfaces of the box, and not within the box. A collapsible shipping container according to the invention to a large extent prevents heat from ever entering the box.
Abstract:
The invention is a shipping container blank whereby all surfaces and edges are sealed by an overlying a plastic film material. A container subsequently made from the blank is rendered highly water resistant. The film material is applied to both sides of the blank and severed from the supply source. The covered blank is then heated above the softening point of the film. The film becomes bonded to the surfaces of the blank and sags around the edges and into any openings so that the film on the two sides of the blank come into contact and are sealed to each other. The edges and any slits and cutouts are then trimmed, as by a die cutter, while preserving the seals along the edges. Containers made by the process can generally be recycled, in contrast to wax or resin impregnated corrugated board.
Abstract:
A box comprising a body formed from a blank, wherein the blank comprises a support having a first surface and a second surface and at least the first surface has printing thereon. The blank further comprises at least one sheet of non-woven material, the at least one sheet of non-woven material being arranged on the first surface of the support. The at least one sheet of non-woven material may be at least partially transparent so that the printing on the first surface of the support is visible through the sheet of non-woven material.
Abstract:
A multi-ply composite container for consumer products is provided having a tubular body ply, a liner ply and a film label ply. The tubular body ply is formed of paperboard material, and the liner ply is adhered to the inner surface of the tubular body ply. The film label ply is adhered to the outer surface of the tubular body ply and is comprised of a polymeric film having inner and outer surfaces and an adhesive on at least a portion of the inner surface of the polymeric film. Graphical matter can be included on at least a portion of the inner surface of the polymeric film under the adhesive. The adhesive is for adhering the label ply to the outer surface of the tubular body ply and can be either a heat seal coating or a cold seal coating.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a laminated paperboard package having enhanced graphics and to a method of producing the same. The present invention uses metalized paper to enhance the quality of the packaging.
