20090084278 | Process for making metalized micro-embossed films - The present invention provides a process for manufacturing a metalized micro-embossed plastic film using a shim made from a flexographic plate. A digital image is transferred to the flexographic plate and the flexographic plate is processed to create a shim having a raised image corresponding to the digital image. A film is embossed by extruding the film across the flexographic plate, creating a micro-embossed surface in the film. The micro-embossed surface of the film can further be metalized to enhance the visual effects of the image when viewed from the non-embossed surface of the film. | 04-02-2009 |

An embossing tool is provided having a raised image corresponding to the embossed device and a film is embossed by extruding the film across the embossing tool to form the embossed devices in the film. The embossed film is tentered, proportionally stretching the embossed devices along with the film. The tentered film is stored for subsequent forming into a sleeve of film that can be placed about a product and shrunk by heating to form a contoured shrink film on the product, the film retaining the embossed devices in proportion to the shrinkage of the film. | 06-11-2009 |

20120152791 | Method for effective de-oxygenation of product containers for use as containers for oxygen sensitive products - The invention generally relates to the use of liquid nitrogen to displace air, or other water and/or oxygen containing atmospheres, from containers prior to filling with a highly sensitive product. The process in general has two steps: a) depositing a volume of liquid nitrogen into the cavity of an empty container and b) applying a vacuum to the cavity of the container. The vacuum will accelerate vaporization and thereby shorten the liquid nitrogen vaporization time frame. This procedure results in a highly effective one step de-oxygenation and/or de-humidification of the container cavity. Further, the evacuation ensures complete liquid nitrogen vaporization prior to product filling. | 06-21-2012 |
