Rodent bait station assemblies and methods for assembly and bundling.

A multi-pack of articles with indicia is disclosed herein.

A flexible reclosable package contains disposable and compressed consumer products. The package has a hexahedral shape with a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, a left side panel and a right side panel. A hooded portion defines the top panel, a portion of the front panel, a portion of the first right side panel portion and a portion of the first left side panel portion. A pleated portion is provided adjacent to the hooded portion and extends from a first side panel seam to a second side panel seam. A first line of weakness, which is not visible from the exterior of the package when the package closed, is provided in the pleated portion. The flexible reclosable package can be converted from a closed configuration to an open configuration upon opening the package along the line of weakness.

The invention provides overwrapped packages of goods comprising one or more indicia disposed on the package overwrap where the indicia is generally indicative of one or more physical properties of the packaged good. In a particularly preferred embodiment the packaged goods are tissue products which have been packaged and multiple packages overwrapped with a wrapper having an indicia. In this manner the tissue products are provided as multi-packs, also referred to herein as bundles.

A thermoplastic baling strip comprises an elongate band of thermoplastic material said elongate band having sufficient flexibility to be formed into a knot; the elongate band having an outer surface formed with a set of surface undulations extending along its main length. The plurality of surface undulations operate in use to grip a surface to which said strip surface contacts. The use of undulations extending along the length of the strip enable the strip to be reliably tied in a knot, without releasing or coming undone when transported. Complete bales can be fed into an incinerator without the need to remove the baling strip, which burns on incineration.

A plurality of preforms are positioned in relation to each other and an incompressible fluid is injected into a cavity of each of the preforms to induce them to expand into containers. A portion of the surface of each of the preforms comes into abutment with a portion of the surface of at least one other preform during the injecting step, such that the expansion of the preforms is constrained.

A transport package including a compressible packaging and a packing configuration, the packing configuration including at least three individual stacks of absorbent tissue paper material, and the packaging maintaining said individual stacks in the packing configuration, the transport package forming a rectangular parallelepiped delimited by six outer surfaces, defining three transport package extensions extending along three perpendicular dimensions in space defining a length, a width, and a height of the transport package. A relative deformation of the transport package is defined for each of the three dimensions, being the relative shortening of the transport package extension along a selected dimension when the entire transport package is compressed with a deformation pressure of 15 kPa between two outer surfaces and along the selected dimension, wherein, for said transport package, the relative deformation along at least two out of the three dimensions is less than 10%.

The present disclosure relates to a stretch hood arrangement (200) enclosing a stack of articles (201) arranged on a pallet (203) in multiple layers including a base layer (207), a top layer (209) and one or more intermediate layers, said stretch hood arrangement (200) comprising: a polymer film tubular band (215) stretched around at least the base layer (207) of the stack; a polymer film stretch hood (213) enclosing the top and sides of the stack; characterized in that the polymer film of the tubular band (215) has a higher elasticity than the polymer film of the stretch hood. The present disclosure further relates to the use of a the stretch hood arrangement for collection and transport of a stack of articles (201), preferably for collection and transport of a stack of bottles arranged on a pallet (203) in multiple layers.
