| 20120005988 | Vacuum Skin Packaging Laminate, Package and Process for Using Same - The present invention is directed to vacuum skin packaging, laminates. The laminates include a first film, a second film, an adhesive bonding the first film to the second film, and an adhesive-free interfacial section between the first and second films. The laminate is adapted to provide substantially horizontal first film-surface above the product for displaying product markings and a thermoformable second film-surface for conforming to the shape of the product. The present invention also is directed to vacuum skin packages formed from such laminates, and methods of packaging a product. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20110162993 | Easy-Open Reclosable Films Having an Interior Frangible Interface and Articles Made Therefrom - The present invention relates to peelable resealable multilayer films which include at least a first thermoplastic layer of an anhydride-modified polyolefin, a second thermoplastic layer of an ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer and a third thermoplastic layer of a tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive. The bond formed between a second layer of ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer and a third layer of a tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive creates a peelable resealable interface having a first interfacial peel strength, A, and a second interfacial peel strength, B. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110123743 | Easy-Open Reclosable Films Having Interior Frangible Interface and Articles Made Therefrom - The present invention relates to peelable resealable multilayer films which include at least a first polymer layer, a second polymer layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive in direct contact with and bonded to both the first and third layers. The bond formed between the second and third layers includes a peelable resealable interface having a first interfacial peel strength, A, and a second interfacial peel strength, B. The peelable resealable interface includes a first interfacial peel strength, A, having a value of less than 3500 gram-force/inch (1350 newton/meter) as measured in accordance with ASTM F-904-98 test method when the films of the present invention are peeled from a second thermoplastic film to which the film has been heat-sealed. The second interfacial peel strength, B, has a value of at least 400 gram-force/inch (154 newton/meter) as measured in accordance with ASTM F-904-98 test method when the films are peeled from and re-adhered to a second film. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110123742 | Easy-Open Reclosable Films Having an Interior Frangible Interface and Articles Made Therefrom - The present invention relates to peelable resealable multilayer films which include at least a first polymer layer, a second polymer layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive in direct contact with and bonded to both the first and third layers. The bond formed between the second and third layers includes a peelable resealable interface having a first interfacial peel strength, A, and a second interfacial peel strength, B. The peelable resealable interface includes a first interfacial peel strength, A, having a value of less than 3500 gram-force/inch (1350 newton/meter) as measured in accordance with ASTM F-904-98 test method when the films of the present invention are peeled from a second thermoplastic film to which the film has been heat-sealed. The second interfacial peel strength, B, has a value of at 400 gram-force/inch (154 newton/meter) as measured in accordance with ASTM F-904-98 test method when the films are peeled from and re-adhered to a second film. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20100288131 | Mineral Composite Beverage Brewing Cup and Cartridge - A beverage filter cartridge having a cup, a filter, a lid and at least one beverage ingredient is provided where the cup and lid are sealed together to form an interior chamber which is separated into a first and second compartments by the filter, which is preferably basket or cone shaped, and a beverage ingredient such as coffee is contained inside first compartment, and at least one of the cup, lid and filter contains calcium carbonate in an amount effective to either improve the ability of beverage makers to pierce the cup or to provide a means for the cartridge to absorb CO | 11-18-2010 |
| 20100266795 | Myoglobin Blooming Agent Containing Shrink Films, Packages and Methods for Packaging - Heat shrinkable, oxygen barrier, packaging films, methods of packaging and packages are provided having a myoglobin blooming agent to provide, promote, enhance or maintain a desirable coloration on the surface of a myoglobin-containing meat product. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100255164 | Food Article Packaging Apparatus and Method - Packaging apparatus and method for inserting food articles into a bag of comparable size. The apparatus has a conveyor that orients the product along a longitudinal axis and delivers the food article to a tray disposed below the conveyor so the product drops from the conveyor and onto the tray. The tray and conveyor move at speeds selected so the product maintains its longitudinal orientation as it drops from the conveyor into the product tray. A bag scoop holds the bag mouth open while the tray carrying the product advances into the bag. A product stripper moves into a position behind the bagged product after passage of the tray so that when the tray returns to its start position, the stripper butts against the end of the product and holds the product while the tray slides out of the bag. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100183830 | Easy-Open Packages Formed From Peelable Thermoplastic Laminates - An easy-open package formed from a peelable thermoplastic laminate and adapted to peel open, whereby the manually tearing the package causes a removable strip to form thereby exposing a product enclosed therein. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100181370 | Peelable Film and Package Using Same - The present invention is directed to a peelable packaging film comprising a first thermoplastic substrate and a second thermoplastic substrate wherein the packaging film has a Heat Shrinkage value between 0 and 10% at 102° C. in either the machine or transverse directions. The first and second substrates each have a first surface and a second surface. Each of the first surfaces comprises a polyolefin and has a surface energy of at least 36 dynes/cm | 07-22-2010 |
