A foam-based expansion joint seal system packaging which facilitates transport and reduces the need for internal splices.

A beverage container packaging assembly is disclosed. The beverage container packaging assembly includes a bottom tray, center support, and a top tray. The bottom tray includes a plurality of cup-shaped elements each configured to accommodate a bottom portion of a beverage container. Each cup-shaped element includes at least a first deformable element comprising one or more wide portions and one or more thin portions. The center support is disposed between the bottom tray and the top tray. The top tray includes bottle neck accommodating spaces each bounded by a set of vertical posts.

The present invention provides a food wrapping film containing a thermoplastic resin, a blue colorant, and a polyglycerol fatty acid ester.

A bag for storing and preparing food, includes a bag body including two sheets having edge regions and being sealed together at least partially along a plurality of the edge regions to present edge seals and a bag opening at one end of the bag. Each sheet comprises a composite material including a plastic inside layer suitable for making contact with the food and an outside layer of paper or metal foil.

A container for holding product therein during shipment and being returned for reuse has a base and opposed sides. The container has multiple levels of dunnage components, the dunnage components of at least one level being movable between open and closed positions to enable an operator to load and unload products more easily. The dunnage components of at least one level may have openings through which pass guides supported at least partially by the container.

A drinking straw wrapper comprises an upper portion and a lower portion detachably engaged with the upper portion. The upper and lower portions are collectively configured to enclose a drinking straw. Detachment of the upper portion from the lower portion creates an opening in the upper portion and an opening in the lower portion, with the opening in the upper portion being substantially wider than the opening in the lower portion so as to facilitate replacement of the upper portion on a top of the straw after its initial removal therefrom. The upper portion may be formed from a first material and the lower portion formed from a second material different than the first material. Alternatively, the upper portion may be formed from a material having a first thickness and the lower portion formed from a same material but having a second thickness that is less than the first thickness.

A bottle holder includes a case assembly and at least one padding assembly. The case assembly includes a body defining at least one compartment and having an open end giving access to the at least one compartment dimensioned to fully accommodate a bottle inserted axially, and a lid attached to the body and selectively closeable to cover the open end of the body and enclose the bottle in the at least one compartment. The at least one padding assembly is arranged in the at least one compartment and is dimensioned to be partially compressed between the bottle and walls of the at least one compartment.

A package system is disclosed for dispensing controlled amounts of a chemical agent. The package system includes an outer package that is generally gas and liquid impermeable. The outer package contains an inner package made from a degradable material, such as a material that is water degradable. The inner package contains a measured amount of a chemical agent. The chemical agent may be difficult to handle and may have corrosive properties, may be an oxidizer, or the like. The package system facilitates dispensing the chemical agent into a particular environment. In one embodiment, the package system is designed to hold a chemical agent for treating recreational water sources, such as swimming pools.

A carton for holding a plurality of containers. The carton includes a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a back panel, a bottom panel, and at least one top panel. The carton includes a plurality of end flaps each respectively foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels for at least partially closing an end of the carton. The carton further includes a handle having a handle opening in at least one of the front panel and the back panel, and a handle reinforcement flap foldably connected to the at least one top panel.

A film material formed of thermoplastic polymer material is processed so as to have linearly extending regions (A) linked together by linearly extending webs (B), regions (A) and webs (B) each being oriented, the dominant direction of orientation in regions (A) forming an angle (V) to the direction on which (A) extends and webs (B) comprising arrays of linear furrows of thinner material or splits forming angles (U) higher than (V) to the direction in which (A) extends. The method of producing the new film involves passing an orientated film through a pair of intermeshing grooved rollers to cold-stretch the film in a direction at an angle to the predominant original orientation, at least one of the grooved rollers having crests with sharp edges to form the division between regions A and webs B and to stretch the material to form webs B while stretching the material less or not at all to form regions A. Preferably at least one of the grooved rollers has crests with a waved surface shape.
