There is provided a decorative sheet having high ink adhesion without using an oil-based ink having a high environmental load. The decorative sheet includes: a base paper; a thermoplastic resin layer provided on one surface side of the base paper; an ink layer provided on the thermoplastic resin layer of opposite to the base paper side and containing a water-based ink and at least one of a xylene diamine-based curing agent, a polycarbodiimide-based curing agent, and an aziridine-based curing agent as a curing agent; and a surface protective layer provided on the opposite surface side to the thermoplastic resin layer of the ink layer. The addition amount of the curing agent in the ink layer is preferably 1 part by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less based on 100 parts by mass of the water-based ink.

A paper web includes a surface having a plurality of sections. At least one section of the plurality of sections has a plurality of positions. The plurality of positions each has an equal length and is obtained by subdividing the at least one section. The paper web also includes ink applied to the surface of the paper web at some of the plurality of positions.

A packaging material for forming a construct for holding a food product. The packaging material can comprise at least a base layer and a coating on a face of the base layer. Absorption features can extend in at least one of the coating and the base layer for allowing fluids to pass to an interior of the base layer.

A method of manufacturing a fibrous water soluble product having particles, including: a) providing a first continuous water soluble fibrous substrate including a first side and moving in a first direction, b) providing a discretizing unit including one or more pockets comprising an opening; c) providing a continuous feed of first particles to at least one of the one or more pockets of the discretizing unit through the pocket opening at least partially filling the at least one of the one or more pockets, d) delivering the first particles from the pocket through the opening onto a portion of the first side of the first continuous water soluble fibrous substrate, and e) at least partially covering the first side of the first continuous water soluble fibrous substrate.

Provided are a paper strengthener coating device, a sheet manufacturing apparatus, a sheet, and a paper strengthener coating method capable of suppressing production of paper dust from sheets when printing on sheets of paper. The paper strengthener coating device has: a solution supply device configured to supply a solution containing a paper strengthener; an inkjet head having nozzles for ejecting the solution supplied from the solution supply device; and a paper strengthener coating unit configured to apply the solution ejected from the nozzles onto a sheet; the inkjet head preferentially or selectively applying the solution to an edge part of the sheet.

A wrapper for a smoking article includes a web; and a patterned deposit on at least a portion of one surface of the wrapper, wherein the patterned deposit comprises catalyst particles. The patterned deposit can include a nanoparticle catalyst that is capable of catalyzing the conversion of a constituent gas component in the mainstream and/or sidestream smoke of the smoking article. The constituent gas component can be carbon monoxide and/or nitric oxide and the catalyst particles can be iron oxide. Also provided is a smoking article comprising a tobacco rod having a wrapper formed around the tobacco rod, the wrapper including a patterned deposit on at least a portion of one surface of the wrapper. A method of making the wrapper and a method of making a smoking article utilizing the wrapper are also provided.
