A multilayer laminate film assembly is provided, which includes at least two multilayer substrate films, each substrate film having at least a first outer layer and a second outer layer, and wherein the at least two multilayer substrate films each include at least two layers of a different class of material. In the laminate film assembly, the at least two substrate films are laminated together, preferably wherein the class of material of the first outer layer differs from the class of material of the second outer layer. The multilayer substrate films are from the same type of substrate. A standing pouch is further provided which includes a front panel, a back panel, and a bottom panel, wherein all panels are from the multilayer laminate film.

Packages made from flexible material, wherein the packages include one or more self-folds formed by applying activation energy to the flexible material are presented. The packages include a polymeric film, wherein the polymeric film is formed from one type of polymer, and wherein the flexible material defines an enclosed product volume. The packages include a first panel formed from the flexible material and a second panel formed from the flexible material. The packages include a self-fold that has an overall thickness that is about 5% to about 30% greater than a thickness of the flexible material outside of the self-fold. The self-fold has a differential thermal-mechanical set than the flexible material outside of the self-fold, and forms an angle of about 100 degrees to about 170 degrees between the first panel and the second panel.

A multilayer shrink film comprising at least one core layer positioned between a first skin layer and a second skin layer, wherein the multilayer shrink film comprising an ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer composition and a low density polyethylene.

The present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic film that includes a layer of thermoplastic material and a color indicator applied to the thermoplastic material. The color indicator can be configured to change color in response to a trigger. For example, the color indicator can change color (e.g., change from a first color to a second color) in response to a color change trigger, such as exposure to malodor particles, absorption of moisture, a length of time, or as a result of oxidation. In one or more embodiments, the thermoplastic film further includes an odor control component configured to mask, neutralize, or otherwise control malodors. The color indicator can change its color appearance as the odor control component performs to control any present malodors, thus signaling the performance of the odor control component.

Provided is a gas barrier laminate including: a paper substrate; an anchor coat layer including a first polyolefin having a polar group; a vapor-deposited layer; and an overcoat layer including a second polyolefin having a polar group, in order.

A composite package includes a first container and a second container. The first container includes a fiber-based component. The second container includes a film component and forms a primary product cavity of composite package. The film component includes a mineral oil barrier and a sealant. The mineral oil barrier includes a polymeric film, an inorganic oxide coating, and a layer. The inorganic oxide coating is located on the polymeric film. The layer includes a vinyl alcohol polymer. The vinyl alcohol polymer is located on a surface of the inorganic oxide coating.

A multilayer, heat-shrinkable film has a first portion containing an outer heat seal layer and a second portion containing a PVDC barrier layer and a second outer layer comprising polyester. Both film portions comprise polymer networks which are strained by solid-state orientation, but only the first portion contains a crosslinked polymer network. The film has (i) a total free shrink at 85° C. of at least 90% and (ii) an instrumented impact energy-to-break of at least 0.0.65 J/mil and/or an instrumented impact peak load of at least 70 N/mil. The film is primarily made from ethylene-based polymers. Packaging articles can be made by sealing the film to itself. The film comprises no polyamide or polyamide in an amount up to 10 wt %, on a total film weight basis.

A liquid-absorbing, liquid barrier bag comprising a liquid-permeable envelope within which a super-absorbent material in powder or granular form is disposed, the absorbent material being characterized in that it greatly increases in volume upon liquid absorption. The super-absorbent material is adhered to one or more of the inner surfaces of the liquid-permeable envelope such that the desired distribution and pattern is maintained during handling, shipping and activation of the liquid-absorbing. Upon contact with liquid, such as by soaking the bag in water, the super-absorbent material releases from the inner surfaces and swells to create a three-dimensional body suitable for stacking to form a liquid-impermeable barrier wall.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to multilayer silo bags that may include a tube comprising at least two layers, a first open end, a second open end, and a first region and a second region disposed between the first and second end. One M or more of the at least three layers may comprise an ethylene/alpha-olefin interpolymer having a density of 0.90 g/cc to 0.965 g/cc and N an I.sub.2 of 0.1 to 6.0 g/10 minutes, a low density ethylene-based polymer having a density of 0.917 g/cc to 0.935 g/cc and an I.sub.2 of 0.1 to 2.0 g/10 minutes, or combinations thereof. The first region may have a thickness of at least 10% greater than a thickness of the second region. The first region may have a surface area that is at least 50% of an overall surface area of the multilayer silo bag.

Multilayer films are prepared from an ethylene interpolymer product having a density of from 0.905 to 0.914 g/cc and a melt index, I.sub.2, of from 2.5 to 4.5 g/10 minutes, wherein the ethylene interpolymer product comprises: (i) a first ethylene interpolymer; (ii) a second ethylene interpolymer, and; (iii) optionally a third ethylene interpolymer;
and wherein the ethylene interpolymer product has a Dilution Index, Yd, of greater than 0 degrees. In an embodiment, the first ethylene interpolymer is made with a single site catalyst and the second ethylene interpolymer is made with a heterogeneous Ziegler Natta catalyst. This ethylene interpolymer product is used in the preparation of multilayer films, especially: A) a film having from 3 to 15 layers, wherein the film has a two layer seal structure in which the primary seal layer is prepared with this ethylene interpolymer product; B) a multilayer stretch wrap film having from 3 to 15 layers wherein at least one layer is prepared with this ethylene interpolymer product.
