A direct-to-consumer heat shrunk bundled product made up of a plurality of paper product rolls each individually packaged by a first package material and arranged relative to one another so as to form a bundle, the bundle being packaged by a second package material, wherein a substantial portion of the inner surface of the second package material is in contact with the first package material of the plurality of paper product rolls and is nonstick relative to the first package material. The bundle includes fused end seals so that the bundle does not include open gussets that might otherwise catch on machinery during sorting and shipping. The packaging material and/or wrapper may include laser energy absorbing material or adhesive.

Disclosed are multilayer films with at least one MDO substrate.

This invention relates to an anisotropic multilayer film and the process of making a multilayer film, wherein a supercritical blowing agent is introduced to at least one layer, wherein at least one layer comprises 10 to 100 percent by weight LLDPE with a melt index of 0.2 to 2 g/10 min. The film in this invention can have a surface with an average Sheffield smoothness, according to TAPPI T 538, of less than 100. The film in this invention can have a puncture propagation tear resistance, in accordance with ASTM D2582, greater than 500 g/mil.

A laminate composite composed of at least two laminations (1, 7) and an imprint located between them (3). The lamination (7) includes at least two layers (4, 5, 6). One layer (5) includes a UV absorber to protect the imprint. This layer (5) is characterized by having a lower density than the other layers (4, 6). The other layers (4, 6) preferably have a density that is higher relative to the one layer (5) by a factor of 1.005, in particular by a factor of 1.01, preferably by a factor of 1.015.

An adhesive film for a metal terminal is interposed between a metal terminal electrically connected to an electrode of a power storage device element, and a power storage device exterior material that seals the power storage device element, the adhesive film comprising a laminated body including, in the following order: a first polyolefin layer disposed on the metal terminal side; a base material; and a second polyolefin layer disposed on the power storage device exterior material side, wherein the adhesive film has a Martens hardness of at most 30 N/mm.sup.2 as measured in a direction perpendicular to a cross-section in the thickness direction of the first polyolefin layer.

Tear and heat resistant foams used in packaging, protective packaging bags and related methods are provided. The tear and heat resistant foam can include a nonwoven substrate, a polyethylene film, and a base layer of polyethylene foam joined together by applying at least one of heat or heat and pressure to the top nonwoven substrate, the polyethylene film and the polyethylene foam to heat the first surface of the top nonwoven substrate to a temperature that is above the melting point of polyethylene film but below the melting point of top nonwoven substrate. The temperature of the polyethylene film rises causing the polyethylene film to melt and bind the top nonwoven substrate to the polyethylene foam to form the heat and tear resistant packaging foam.
