The protective packaging product includes superimposed upper and lower honeycomb layers 1 and 2 extending between a pair of flexible side members 3 and 4. Each honeycomb layer is formed of flexible paper strips arranged face-to-face and bonded to each other at a series of spaced attachment locations. The honeycomb layers are expandable to form an array of hexagonal cells which are open at both ends. An item such as a surfboard can be inserted between the layers 1 and 2 so that the layers and the flexible side members conform to the shape of the surfboard and protect it against impact damage.

This disclosure includes ice packs that comprise paper and absorbent material, and also includes various methods of making, adding liquid to, freezing, shipping, and/or using such ice packs. This disclosure also includes assemblies that include one or more such ice packs, such as, for example, a container of a plurality of such ice packs in dry, wet, and/or frozen states, or a container that includes an ice pack in a hydrated, frozen state and one or more perishable items.

This cleaning sheet is provided with an embossed part in which the sheet is compressed in the thickness direction. The cleaning sheet is provided with outer layers, forming the surfaces of the sheet; and an inner layer sandwiched between the outer layers. In the boundary areas between the outer layers, and the inner layer, the fibers of the layers are entangled. This allows for a sheet that better retains the raised and sunken shapes embossed therethrough and exhibits excellent collecting performance.

The disclosure describes a process for making a décor paper from a dispersion with improved optical performance by (a) combining a treated TiO.sub.2 particle having a surface area of at least about 30 m.sup.2/g with water and a cationic polymer to form a TiO.sub.2 particle slurry; wherein the treated TiO.sub.2 particle comprises an oxide selected from the group consisting of silicon, aluminum, phosphorus and mixtures thereof; and the oxide is present in the amount of at least 15% based on the total weight of the treated titanium dioxide particle; (b) combining the TiO.sub.2 particle slurry of step (a) with paper pulp and a cationic polymer. The dispersion provides equal optical performance using less TiO.sub.2 when compared to the same dispersion not comprising the TiO.sub.2 particle slurry of (a). These décor papers are useful in preparing paper laminates.

Insulated paper products are disclosed. Methods of making and using insulated paper products are also disclosed.

Provided is a PSA sheet with which good air release properties can be obtained while whose quality can be further enhanced. This invention provides a PSA sheet comprising a substrate film and a PSA layer provided to at least one face of the substrate film. The PSA sheet further comprises a coating layer partially covering the PSA layer surface. The PSA sheet's adhesive is formed of the PSA layer and the coating layer. The coating layer has a linearly extending part running from one edge to another edge of the adhesive face. The linearly extending part has a first face forming the PSA sheet's adhesive face and a second face located on the PSA layer side relative to the first face. The second face of the linearly extending part forms an overall gently curved line in a cross section perpendicularly intersecting the length direction of the linearly extending part.

An object is to provide a base paper for paper tubes that has lower environmental impact and is used for manufacturing of paper tubes offering excellent water resistance. As a solution, a base paper for paper tubes is provided, wherein: it has two or more but no more than five paper layers; the paper layers are bonded by a water-soluble or water-dispersible adhesive; and its elution rate is 2.0 percent or lower.

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the production of a corrugated cardboard product. The apparatus comprises a first one-sided machine and a second one-sided machine which are provided in each case with a press-down belt and with a first and a second grooving roller respectively. The first and the second grooving roller are designed for embossing a wave profile onto a first and a second paper web respectively. The press-down belts serve, together with the respective grooving rollers, for connecting the first and the second paper webs in each case to a non-corrugated web for the production of a first and a second single-flute corrugated cardboard web respectively. The first one-sided machine is equipped with a first oblique guide roller, the axis of rotation of which is inclined at a vertical inclination angle between side margins of the first paper web.

A laminate lay-up includes a coated decorative paper layer having a decorative paper layer with a textured coating layer applied thereto. The textured coating layer is comprised of a UV curable coating composition. The laminate lay-up also includes a decorative layer and a core layer.

A compostable laminate for food wrap and method for making same. The wrap can include a first layer of paper material, a second layer of paper material, and a series of coatings between the paper materials. The coatings include a first flood coating having water and/or barrier properties, a second flood coating having water and/or oil barrier properties, and a third coating that only partially covers the second flood coating. None of the first, second and third coatings comprise a thermoplastic or polyolefin, and are made substantially from one or more biodegradable and/or compostable materials.
