Applying padding material around shaped cutting blades includes: receiving a blade shape diagram and a rule of blade; bending the rule of blade according to the blade shape diagram to produce the shaped cutting blades; and applying the padding material around the shaped cutting blades using the blade shape diagram to produce a padded shaped cutting blade, wherein the padding material provides a spring action to quickly detach the shaped cutting blades from a plate matter.

Container for consumer articles, the container being at least partially formed from a laminar blank (100), the laminar blank defining a portion of the container, which comprises: a first planar wall (101); a second planar wall (102) connected to the first planar wall by a first modified edge portion (104); and a third planar wall (103) connected to the first planar wall by a second modifled edge portion (105). The first modified edge portion is defmed by an ablation area, on its inner surface, comprising one or more ablated lines (201-206) each having a residual thickness less than the thickness (T) of the laminar blank, the first modified edge portion an end portion tapering from a width (W) of the first portion to a point at the junction with the second modified edge portion. The second modified edge portion is defmed by a plurality of creasing lines (300).

A rule to be inserted into a die-board that is pressed onto a plate matter, the rule including: a multi-edge cutting blade having a cutting blade edge, the cutting blade edge divided into multiple sections with multiple spacings between the multiple sections; and a plurality of connecting pieces configured to fit into the multiple spacings and to provide support for the multiple sections of the cutting blade edge when the rule is pressed onto the plate matter.

A counter-die, in particular for creasing paper, cardboard or corrugated cardboard, has at least one groove channel which is formed, in relation to the groove channel cross section, between two groove channel walls which are spaced apart from one another and form the groove channel. The groove channel walls in each case form and/or have an upper side which forms a contact and/or bearing surface for the material to be cut and/or creased. The counter-die is formed at least in regions, preferably at least in a part region of a groove channel wall which is assigned to the groove channel, of an elastic material, in particular in order to provide an upper side of at least one groove channel wall of the at least one groove channel, which upper side can be displaced at least in regions and springs back elastically.

A cutting and/or creasing rule is produced on a 3D printing machine which may be mounted on a board for use is a die for cutting and/or creasing a sheet of paperboard or other material into a blank for a carton. With the advent of additive manufacturing, i.e. 3D printing, it is now possible to eliminate traditional slotted die boards with generally rectangular steel cutting and creasing rules and replace same with surface printed boards with three-dimensional creasing and cutting rules.

A system for scoring a web of a roll of material comprises a plate, a scoring punch, a scoring station actuator, and a controller. The plate has a slot extending about a shape representing an outline of a pressware product. The scoring punch has a protruding blade operable to enter the slot of the plate. The scoring station actuator is configured to shift the scoring punch or the plate to press the blade against the web to form a slot in the web. The controller is configured to direct the scoring station actuator to press the blade to a first predetermined scoring depth within the web.

A container for holding at least one article includes a body extending at least partially around an interior of the container, a closed top engaged with the body, a closed bottom engaged with the body, and a barrier member positioned in the interior of the container, the barrier member comprising a laminate structure that includes at least one polymeric layer with an uninterrupted lower portion.

A cutting tool structure, a manufacturing apparatus thereof, and a laminated structure for making a heat-retaining container are proposed. The cutting tool includes: a body; a blade portion extending in a lengthwise direction from the body; and a suppressing portion provided on one side of the body where the blade portion is formed for suppressing the foamed material. The cutting tool structure allows lamination of a foamed sheet and a paper substrate while forming a tear line on the foamed sheet to simplify the manufacturing process of the laminated structure for making a heat-retaining container.

The present invention provides a carton (100) made of paperboard having flaps (101, 105), the carton (100) comprising, at least one score (102) along a crease line (103) of at least one flap (101, 105), wherein the score (102) is 25% to 85% of thickness of the paperboard and 5% to 70% of length of the crease line (103). The invention also provides a method of securing flaps (101, 105) of the carton (100).
