20090094943 | Absorbent article package with enhanced grip - A package having an absorbent article and outer package having a web package material, with grip areas. The grip areas enhance gripping, handling, carrying, and stacking of the package. The grip areas include a strainable network having at least two visually distinct regions of the same material composition. The first region undergoes a molecular-level deformation and the second region initially undergoes a substantially geometric deformation when the web package material is subjected to an applied elongation in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of elongation, and wherein the first region and the second region are positioned on one or more grip areas of the outer package, wherein only a portion of the outer package has first and second regions. | 04-16-2009 |
20090194435 | ARRAY OF PRODUCTS - An array of products including a plurality of common containers wherein two or more on-functional, different, separable graphics is provided. | 08-06-2009 |
20100089935 | CONTAINER HAVING A LID THAT IS OPENABLE UPON APPLICATION OF A DOWNWARD FORCE - A container having a base and a single-hinged lid. The base has one or more walls that define an interior volume and an opening that permits access to the interior volume. The single-hinged lid is movably attached to the base and the lid at least partially covers the opening in a closed state and permits a user access to the opening in an open state. The lid is transitionable from the closed state to an open state upon the user applying a net downward force to the lid that covers the opening. | 04-15-2010 |
20110206904 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A WEB SUBSTRATE HAVING INDICIA DISPOSED THEREON AND ELASTIC-LIKE BEHAVIOR IMPARTED THERETO - A process for providing indicia and an elastic-like behavior to a web substrate is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of: providing a web substrate; printing indicia on the web substrate; and, providing the web substrate with a plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions comprising the same material composition. A portion of the first regions extend in a first direction while the remainder of the first regions extend in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to intersect one another. The first regions form a boundary completely surrounding the second regions. The second regions comprise a plurality of raised rib-like elements. The first regions undergo a molecular level and geometric deformation and the second regions initially undergo a substantially geometric deformation when the web material is subjected to an applied elongation along at least one axis. | 08-25-2011 |
20110309097 | CONTAINER HAVING A LID THAT IS OPENABLE UPON APPLICATION OF A DOWNWARD FORCE - A container having a base and a single-hinged lid. The base has one or more walls that define an interior volume and an opening that permits access to the interior volume. The single-hinged lid is movably attached to the base and the lid at least partially covers the opening in a closed state and permits a user access to the opening in an open state. The lid is transitionable from the closed state to an open state upon the user applying a net downward force to the lid that covers the opening. | 12-22-2011 |
20120145733 | PACKAGE WITH HANDLE - A package comprising a package body. The package body comprises a polymeric shell defining at least one side and a package volume is disclosed. The polymeric shell comprises a polymeric film having a thickness between at least about 0.6 mils and about 4 mils. The package contains product, the product having a weight of between 2 and 20 pounds. The package body comprises a handle joined to the side, the handle comprising polymeric film and an elongated grip portion having an elongated grip portion width and an elongated grip portion length. The elongated grip terminates at and gradually widens into two end portions, each of the end portions having an end portion width which is greater than the elongated grip portion width. The end portions are each adhered to the polymeric shell on the side; and wherein the package has a Handle Ratio (Side Area to Handle Area) of at least about 5. | 06-14-2012 |
20120205272 | PACKAGES FOR ROLLED PRODUCTS - A large count package of rolled products comprises six sides. The sides are arranged in three pairs of generally parallel opposing sides. The large count package comprises an overwrap enclosing a plurality of individually wrapped packages of rolled products. Each package of the rolled products comprises at least two rolled products, each having a core defined therethrough. The individually wrapped packages are disposed in the large count package with a longitudinal axis of each core of each of the rolled products being generally parallel with a plane of each of a front, back, left, and right side of the large count package. The overwrap is sealed with two seals, one seal being disposed on a top side and a bottom side of the large count package. | 08-16-2012 |
20120261505 | DISPENSERS FOR A PAPER PRODUCT AND ANOTHER ITEM - Dispensers for a paper product and another item are provided. One dispenser comprises a body comprising a first side, a second side, and a receiving cavity defined within the body. The dispenser also comprises a door movable between a first position and a second position. When the door is in the first position, access to at least a portion of the cavity is provided, and when the door is in the second position, access to the portion of the cavity is not provided. The dispenser also comprises an aperture extending through the body from the first side to the second side. The aperture is configured to receive a portion of a first paper product bar therethrough. The dispenser also comprises a second paper product bar engaged with the body. | 10-18-2012 |
20130287323 | Packaging for Flowable Solids - A package for large volumes of flowable solids may comprise 2 or more distinct packages of smaller volume. The 2 or more distinct packages may be bound together to minimize changes in center of gravity during handling. The packages may be bound together by an overwrap. The overwrap may have discontinuities. A method of packaging large volumes of flowable solids by temporarily reducing effective headspace to minimize changes in center of gravity during handling. | 10-31-2013 |
