The present invention relates generally to a new and improved paper-based container. More specifically, the invention relates to a paper-based container that is comprised of a relatively low-density polyethylene coating on one or both surfaces of the container and at least two skive flaps, wherein each of said skive flaps is created during the manufacturing process. The skive flap further comprises at least one leading edge of the container body, and prevents unwanted moisture from entering the container and the contents of the container from saturating the paper-based material. One skive flap is preferably folded in a manner in which a portion of the outside surface of the container is adhered to the inside surface, and a second skive flap is adhered to the outside surface.

A corrugated paperboard box making machine comprises: a slotter device comprising a rotatable cylindrical-shaped upper slotter, and a slotter blade detachably attached onto an outer periphery of the upper slotter, wherein the slotter device performs slotting on a corrugated paperboard sheet; and an upper-level management device and/or a lower-level management device configured to control the slotter device. The management device is configured to set a limit value of the length of the slotter blade for satisfying a given condition determined from the perimeter of the upper slotter, dimensions of a corrugated paperboard box to be produced by the corrugated paperboard box making machine, and a production mode to be set to operate the slotter device in conformity to the box to be produced, and determine whether or not the length of a given slotter blade to be attached to the slotter device exceeds the limit value.

A main die-cut element is divided along a predefined division line to obtain a first die-cut element and a distinct second die-cut element. Glue is deposited on a first portion of one from between the first die-cut element and a secondary die-cut element and on a second portion of one from between the second die-cut element and the secondary die-cut element. The method includes forming an opened die-cut element of the tray plus lid type given by the combination of the first die-cut element and the second die-cut element, wherein these two elements are coupled to the secondary die-cut element, with the first die-cut element and the secondary die-cut element partly superposed and pressed to one another at the first portion and the second die-cut element and the secondary die-cut element being partly superposed and pressed together at the second portion.

The present invention relates to a composite container comprising a bottom film layer and a top film layer at least partially adhered to the bottom film layer. The top film layer is scored to form at least one resealable flap and at least one pull tab which is not adhered to the bottom film layer. The bottom film layer comprises at least one cavity opening. A cardboard layer is adhered on its lower surface to the upper surface of the top film layer, wherein the cardboard layer has at least one cavity opening which is substantially aligned with the scoring of the top film layer resealable flap and the cardboard layer is perforated to define a perimeter of at least one pull tab which is substantially aligned with and adhered, on its underside, to the upper surface of the top film layer pull tab.

A device for processing a plate element (35) has a rotable hub (52), two tools (57, 58), mounted on the hub (52) to process the element (35) when each tool is in a respective processing position; a drive to rotate the hub (52) and the two tools (57, 58); a rotatable counter-tool (64). The rotation (R) of the hub (52) varies during a rotation cycle of the hub (52), and includes two constant speed phases during each of which one of the two tools (57, 58) is, in succession, in the processing position; and at least one phase with each of the two tools (57, 58) in an intermediate position between the respective processing positions, so as to achieve a front lateral processing position and a rear lateral processing position on the element (35).

A system and methods for operating a cardboard processing machine, the method comprising creating a pre-processing crease at a location on the cardboard where it is required to process the cardboard; and processing the cardboard along the pre-process crease.

Methods and apparatus for stripping away portions of substrate are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a flexible and/or soft impact-element(s) rotates around a rotation axis to drive a peripheral portion across a substrate plane of the substrate and/or to repeatedly collide with the substrate. At least some of the collisions are effective to partially dislodge or to strip away portion(s) of substrate.

An embossing tool including a female die (5) and a male die (7). A raised section (9) is formed on the female die, which corresponds to the area to be embossed. An elastic compensating element (13) is located in a recess (11) of the male die (7), which protrudes from the surface of the male die (7) by a few tenths of a millimeter. This embossing tool allows the undoing of existing embossments on a film (1).

A packaging material having a core layer and inside and outside laminate portions is provided. The packaging material comprises a first area to form a first package, and a second area to form a second and adjacent package. The first area and the second area have a transversal sealing area between them, and the core layer is provided with at least one weakening portion at the transversal sealing area.
