An absorbent towel paper product is disclosed. The absorbent towel paper product has two web plies. Each web has from 20% to 90% of a soft wood pulp fiber mixture having from 18.5% to 88.5% of optionally refined soft wood pulp fiber; from 0.25% to 5.0% of cationic strengthening polymer, from 10% to 55% of a hard wood pulp fiber mixture; and not more than 10% moisture. The two-ply paper product has a Mean Square Dry Tensile Index ranging from 10 N.Math.m/g to 18 N.Math.m/g and a Cross-directional Wet Tensile Strength to Cross-directional Dry Tensile Strength Ratio value ranging from 0.295 to 0.33.

The invention covers a method of producing a heat-resistant polymer-coated oven board, the resulting oven board, a food tray and a food package, which comprise such board and withstand heating in a range or microwave oven. According to the invention the coated oven board (1) is made by adhering a premade heat-resisting film (4) comprising polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or its derivate, such as glycol-modified PET known as PETG, to a board base (2) by extrusion lamination, in which an adhesive layer (3) comprising polyamide (PA) is extruded between the heat-resisting film and the board base. To improve the strength and barrier properties, the film (4) may be an extruded multilayer film and/or the film may be stretch-orientated to bring about crystallization in PET.

The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a laminated material (S) comprising a fibrillated cellulose layer, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: (a) depositing a suspension (1) of fibrillated cellulose on a filtration membrane (2) and draining the suspension through that membrane so as to form a wet layer of fibrillated cellulose (A) having a dryness, that is to say a ratio between the mass of dry matter and the total mass of the fibrillated cellulose layer, of between 5% and 18%; (b) transferring the wet layer (A) under pressure to an at least partially hydrophilic surface of a substrate (B), so as to form the laminated material (S); (c) drying the laminated material. The invention also relates to a device for implementing the process.

Regarding a cardboard sheet-cutting device, a cardboard sheet-cutting control unit and a cardboard sheet-manufacturing apparatus, continuous cutting is made during job changes, in which the cardboard sheet cutting width changes, without stopping conveyance of the cardboard sheets, by a printing unit for printing cutting marks on a double-faced cardboard sheet; a slitter scorer for cutting the double-faced cardboard sheet to a specified width; a cutoff for cutting the double-faced cardboard sheet to a specified length; a mark detector for detecting cutting marks; a movement unit for moving the mark detector along the width direction of the double-faced cardboard sheet; and a cutting control unit for performing control to actuate the cutoff on the basis of the detection results of the mark detector and moving the mark detector using the movement unit on the basis of job-change timing data and post-job change mark position information.

A drinking straw being formed as a hollow tube having two ends in fluid-communication with each other, the drinking straw comprising: an aluminum foil tubular layer, and a pulp tubular layer attached to the aluminum foil tubular layer in such a manner that one surface of the pulp tubular layer completely overlaps on one surface of the aluminum foil tubular layer.

A packaging laminate includes a core layer having at least one through-hole which on one side is covered by a barrier film and an outer layer of a polymeric material, wherein said outer polymeric layer and said barrier film are laminated to each other in a manner such that said polymeric layer and said barrier film are separated from each other along parallel, visually detectable air-filled channels formed by these two layers within the area of said at least one through-hole.

A method for labeling fabrics, such as fabric garments, and a heat-transfer label well-suited for use in the method. In one embodiment, the heat-transfer label includes (a) a support portion; and (b) a transfer portion, the transfer portion being positioned over the support portion for transfer of the transfer portion from the support portion to an article of fabric under conditions of heat and pressure, the transfer portion including (i) an ink design layer; (ii) a heat-activatable adhesive layer; and (iii) an RFID device.

A method of applying labels to a store shelf in a retail environment. The method includes applying labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store's planogram.

Container insulation including a batt comprised of large paper particles, at least 90% of which by weight are greater than 10 mm in diameter. Less than 5% by weight binder fibers are used, which have a length of at least 20 mm. Most preferably, no binder fibers are used. Where the batts are faced with paper, the paper is coated with a biodegradable coating. The resulting product is repulpable and recyclable in accordance with Fiber Box Association (FBA) testing protocols.

Systems and methods for pressing a door assembly involve one or more die sections installed in a press, wherein the die sections each have a raised section that contacts and supports a recessed panel portion of a door skin of the assembly during the pressing operation to facilitate crushing of portions of a core of the door assembly that underlie the recessed panel portion of the door skin. The die sections may be made of plastic and readily changed out for different sizes or styles of doors.
