In some aspects, an item storage unit for storing one or more items includes the following components. A first frame component and a first stretch member coupled to at least a first surface of the first frame component. The first stretch member being more flexible relative to the first frame component. The one or more items are configured to be supported by at least the first stretch member and the first frame component.

A method for protecting an outer record jacket containing at least one record against a seam split comprises the step of applying at least one layer of stretchable film material capable of preventing a seam split around both a horizontal central axis and a vertical central axis of the outer record jacket containing at least one record.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to cargo assemblages that may include containers of rolled products stacked on pallets secured thereto with film and methods of producing such cargo assemblages. The load may include containers of absorbent paper product arranged in stacked layers from a bottom layer of containers to a top layer of containers. A film may be applied to connect the load with the pallet and to connect neighboring stacked layers together. The film may be wrapped around the pallet and/or layers of containers with a wrap profile having different characteristics, such as for example, containment forces; tensions; numbers of layers, and/or locations of layers with respect to the load, the pallet, and/or each other.

In one example, a plastic product such as a plastic bag includes one or more seals. One of the seals includes respective portions of first and second plastic films that are arranged one on top of the other. The respective portions are joined together and are aligned generally parallel to a direction of elongation associated with the plastic films, where the direction of elongation is a direction in which the plastic films elongate when under load. As well, the respective portions extend along a length of the joined plastic films and have a length that is greater than a length of the plastic films.

The present invention relates to a tubular film intended to form a stretch hood. The tubular film has a core layer and at least one skin layer. The core layer comprises, by weight of the core layer: 30-80% of recycled polyethylene; 10-35% of a polymer booster selected from a thermoplastic elastomer and a polyolefin plastomer; and 0-40% of virgin ethylene polymer and/or virgin ethylene based copolymer.

A package includes: a film including a crystalline stretched oriented film; and a breaking portion provided in the film and including one or more non-oriented portions formed by heating a part of the crystalline stretched oriented film at a temperature equal to or higher than a melting point of the crystalline stretched oriented film and facing each other with an oriented portion of the crystalline stretched oriented film interposed therebetween.

This disclosure relates to films particularly suitable for stretch hood applications. More particularly, this disclosure relates to multi-layer films particularly suitable for stretch hood applications comprising one or more intermediate layers including a blend of a propylene-based elastomer and a linear low density polyethylene.

In one example, a plastic product such as a plastic bag includes one or more seals. One of the seals includes respective portions of first and second plastic films that are arranged one on top of the other. The respective portions are joined together and are aligned generally parallel to a direction of elongation associated with the plastic films, where the direction of elongation is a direction in which the plastic films elongate when under load. As well, the respective portions extend along a length of the joined plastic films and have a length that is greater than a length of the plastic films.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to cargo assemblages that may include containers of rolled products stacked on pallets in an underhung or partially underhung configuration and secured thereto with film and methods of producing such cargo assemblages. The load may include containers of absorbent paper product arranged in stacked layers from a bottom layer of containers to a top layer of containers. The load and the pallet are sized such that the load defines a footprint that is smaller, at least in some portions, than a footprint of the pallet to create an underhung or partially underhung configuration. A film may be applied to connect the load with the pallet and to connect neighboring stacked layers together. The film may be wrapped around the pallet and/or layers of containers with a wrap profile having different characteristics, such as for example, containment forces; tensions; numbers of layers, and/or locations of layers with respect to the load, the pallet, and/or each other.
