The disclosure relates to oxygen scavenging polymer compositions, methods of making the compositions, articles prepared from the compositions, and methods of making the articles. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

The method for packaging objects for shipping, which may be configured as a single all-in-one device, is carried out by scanning or selecting an item to be packaged from a catalogue and then using that information to generate a custom shipping enclosure using additive manufacturing techniques. Additive manufacturing techniques to create these custom shipping packages may include 3D printing, extrusion and sintering based processes as well as other techniques obvious to those skilled in the art. This method has an additional benefit of allowing greater quantities of items to fit on pallets, in shipping containers, and even in warehouses and on retail shelves.

The invention relates to two-component polyurethane compositions that are especially suitable for use as structural adhesives. Said compositions are constituted of a polyol component K1 and a polyisocyanate component K2, the polyol component K1 comprising at least one alkoxylated aromatic diol A1 and at least one aliphatic triol A2 and the polyisocyanate component K2 comprising at least one polyisocyanate B1.

Containers for holding particulate materials are provided. The containers may be formed from molded pulp. The containers may included molded pulp shaped or threaded features formed integrally on the container that may aid in providing closure to the device. The containers may optionally include a fitment and/or liner, or may be free of fitments and liners. The containers may optionally have inner load bearing members. The containers may be stackable.

A packaging container for elongated objects that includes an outer sleeve (1) with at least one threaded section (4) and an inner sleeve (2) with at least one toothed or threaded strip (3) that can be brought into threaded engagement with the threaded section (4) such that the inner sleeve can be screwed into the interior of the outer sleeve (1). The at least one threaded section (4) is interrupted by at least one sliding strip (5) that is aligned in the longitudinal direction of said packaging container and that interrupts the threaded section (4), the width of the sliding strip (5) being greater than the width of the toothed or threaded strip (3).
