A method for producing a shaped sheet of wrapping, including a hollow portion and a perimetral edge that extends along a pre-set profile, is provided. The method includes laying a sheet of wrapping on a treatment surface having a forming cavity. The method includes forming the sheet of wrapping within the forming cavity so as to reproduce the shape of the hollow portion thereon, without subjecting the sheet of wrapping to deformation by stretching. The method includes cutting the formed sheet of wrapping along the pre-set profile for producing the perimetral edge and obtaining the shaped sheet of wrapping. In the method, the cutting step envisages the use of a laser beam according to a particular cutting mode.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a paper buffer tray for packaging and a buffer tray manufactured thereby, wherein a plurality of papers are laminated and processed such that some papers are cut in a length direction, wrinkles or the like are formed in the other papers, and press-molding is performed using a mold, thereby providing an eco-friendly buffer tray and overcoming a disadvantage in that it is difficult to mold a buffer tray by using an existing paper. The method for manufacturing the paper buffer tray for packaging includes: a raw material preparing step of preparing a raw material for manufacturing a buffer tray in which a plurality of papers are laminated; a molding preparing step of preparing at least one mold corresponding to a shape and size of a product to be packaged; and a molding step of press-molding the raw material by using the at least one mold.

The present invention relates to a web of fibrous cellulosic material derived from wood pulp, said web being suitable for three-dimensional moulding to form a packaging product, wherein the web comprises >40 wt % of soft wood chemical pulp and at least one strength enhancement agent, wherein the web has a grammage less than 400 g/m.sup.2, and wherein the cellulose fibers of said soft wood chemical pulp comprise a fiber curl of >9%.

A method for producing a cellulose product from an air-formed cellulose blank structure comprising the steps; providing a cellulose blank structure which is air-formed from cellulose fibres; applying, in a first application step (S.sub.A1), an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) dispersion to the cellulose blank structure, and applying, in a second application step (S.sub.A2) a latex dispersion to the cellulose blank structure arranging the cellulose blank structure with the applied alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) dispersion and latex dispersion in a forming mould; heating the cellulose blank structure to a forming temperature (T.sub.F) in the range of 100° C. to 300° C., and forming the cellulose product from the cellulose blank structure in the forming mould, by pressing the heated cellulose blank structure with the applied alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) dispersion and latex dispersion with a forming pressure (P.sub.F) of at least 1 MPa, preferably 4-20 MPa.

A lid and substrate part made of pulp material are connected as one piece via hinge part and configured to be openable and closable, wherein the lid part is provided with a swell part and the substrate part is provided with a part for attaching to a package, a surrounding wall standing from the attaching part and a flange part formed between the surrounding wall and the outlet, wherein when the lid is closed the lid part contacts the flange part, when the closed lid state is maintained the swell part covers the surrounding wall in which a pressing force is applied to the flange part by the lid part, when retention of the closed lid state is removed, the pressing force by the lid part to the flange part is removed and a force to open the lid part is applied from the flange part onto the lid part.

A packing material including a plurality of discrete cushioning elements and methods for making the same. The discrete cushioning elements may be cellulosic cushioning elements. A flexible linkage may connect the plurality of discrete cushioning elements in the packing material. The packing material may also include a bottom cellulosic sheet connected to a top cellulosic sheet with the plurality of cellulosic cushioning elements positioned between the top cellulosic sheet and the bottom cellulosic sheet.
