Water-soluble unit dose article and a method of making.

A method for providing a packaging material is provided. The method comprises feeding a web of packaging material through a packaging material processing unit; determining a target position of said packaging material; and controlling a printing unit to print an RFID antenna at said target position, wherein the material used for printing the RFID antenna is conductive substance. A packaging material is also provided.

A package for a point of sale card that includes a first panel, a second panel coupled to the first panel by an activatable adhesive applied to one of the first panel or the second panel, and a card enclosure region defined between the first panel and the second panel, the card enclosure region configured to receive a point of sale card therein. The activatable adhesive is selectively activated along a perimeter surrounding the card enclosure region to secure the first panel and the second panel together at the perimeter and prevent access to the card enclosure region without irreparable damage to the first panel or the second panel.

An object of the present invention is to provide a film and a pouch having basic characteristics such as a strength and barrier properties and achieving good openability. A film (10) according to the present invention includes at least a sealant layer (11), the film is formed with a cut guide line (G), and the cut guide line includes an impression (11A) formed in a surface of the sealant layer. In a pouch (30), the films are superimposed in a state where the sealant layers face each other, and peripheral edge parts are heat-sealed. The cut guide line is placed extending across at least a position where heat seal is not performed.

The invention relates to a package for outgassing foods and/or maturing foods, in particular roasted coffee and/or coffee beans, comprising a bag for storing the food, which includes a film from which the bag is formed, wherein a valve is provided to enable a discharge of gas from the package bag to the outside in the event of overpressure in the package and to reduce the diffusion-related gas exchange in the case of comparable and/or equal pressure conditions in and/or outside the package bag. It is characterized in that the valve is formed as a microperforation in the film having at least one or two holes of the size of 750 μm.sup.2 to 40 000 μm.sup.2, preferably of 390 μm.sup.2 to 20 000 μm.sup.2, particularly preferably 70 μm.sup.2 to 16 000 μm.sup.2 and/or each having the diameter of 10-70 μm, preferably 20-60 μm, particularly preferably 30 μm.

Disclosed are recyclable flexible package and a method of recycling such packages. The flexible package includes a hollow body defining an interior chamber for holding an oxygen sensitive product. The body is formed of a laminated film formed of two layers of a single polymer material, e.g., polyethylene, and at least one interposed barrier layer, e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, that is resistant to the passage of oxygen therethrough and which is water-soluble. The single polymer constitutes at least 95% by weight of the laminated film, whereupon the package is suitable for recycling without requiring separation of the materials thereof by shredding the laminated film and subjecting those pieces to an aqueous wash to dissolve the barrier layer.
