The present disclosure is directed to a web control guide for an inflation and sealing assembly of a protective packaging formation device for inflating a web material into a chain of inflated cushions. The web control guide is positioned along a material path at a transverse spacing from a first compression element and constrains a first thickness of the material path measured normal to the longitudinal and transverse directions of the material path. The transverse spacing and constrained thickness dimension are sufficiently small to prevent transverse movement of the flexible material towards the first compression element to avoid excessive heating of the web material outside a sealing zone.

A film comprises an outer heat sealable layer mainly made of a (co)polyolefin with the Vicat softening temperature not exceeding 130° C., at least one heat resistant layer mainly made of at least one polar (co)polymer selected from the group including predominantly aliphatic (co)polyamides and aromatic (co)polyesters, and at least one core adhesive layer from a material capable of adhering both to (co)polyolefins and to polar (co)polymers. The heat resistant layer comprises not less than 15% of at least one predominantly aliphatic copolyamide with the melting temperature not exceeding 205° C. A method comprises the stages of coextrusion, biaxial stretching, thermosetting and winding up of the resulting film into a roll.

A method for producing a packaging material comprises providing a core material layer of fibre-based material having an inner side and an outer side, embossing the core material layer for forming embossed features having an initial height, the embossed features protruding from the outer side of the core material layer to later form a tactile pattern on a side of the package to be formed by the packaging material, and laminating at least one layer to the inner side of the embossed core material layer such that the height of the embossed features is temporarily reduced to a minimum height.

A paper air freshener, that may be folded into a multi-layered freshener, and may have other layers of polymer, or the like, applied thereto, with the concept of layering said freshener after being saturated or having absorbed the fragrance material, at the various layer levels, provides for a more gradual and controlled release of the fragrance to the ambient air during usage. The layers of paper may be laminated, or may be folded integrally from a singular paper structure, and secured together by various connectors, in preparation for its usage and application. The other layer of polymer forming a seal layer, and being debossed to form a well, into which fragrance material may be applied, during the assembly of the paper air freshener.

Nonwoven fabrics including a first outermost spunbond layer, a second outermost spunbond layer, and at least a first meltblown and/or melt-fibrillated layer disposed directly or indirectly between the first outermost spunbond layer and the second outermost spunbond layer. The first outermost spunbond layer comprises a first plurality of continuous fibers that are thermally fused and compacted against one another and define a microporous film on an outermost surface of the nonwoven fabric. The first plurality of continuous fibers comprises a first polymeric composition having a first melting point and the first meltblown layer and/or melt-fibrillated layer comprises a first plurality of meltblown fibers and/or melt-fibrillated fibers comprising a third polymeric composition having a third melting point, in which the first melting point is lower than the third melting point.

A method for manufacturing a plastic composite uses recycled thermoplastic material comprising the steps of (1) providing flakes of thermoplastic materials to be recycled; (2) mixing the thermoplastic flakes, thereby forming a thermoplastic matrix having a first melting temperature; (3) forming or providing a web-structure of a predetermined thickness from fibers having a second melting temperature higher than the first melting temperature; (4) evenly distributing the thermoplastic matrix of thermoplastic flakes over the web-structure; (5) optionally forming or providing a second web-structure and placing it over the thermoplastic matrix; (6) optionally repeating steps (4) and (5); and (7) heating the web at a temperature between the first and second temperature using a thermoforming process.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a laminated cellulose-based liquid or semi-liquid food packaging material, wherein the laminated packaging material has a bulk material layer, wherein a further sheet is laminated to the bulk material layer by an aqueous adhesive composition. The invention further relates the laminated packaging materials obtained by the method and to a packaging container for liquid food packaging, comprising the laminated packaging material or being made from the laminated packaging material obtained by the method.

The present invention refers to a container precursor, comprising a composite sheet which comprises a) an outer polymer layer, b) a colour application, c) a carrier layer, and d) a barrier layer;
wherein a wall of the container precursor comprises a first wall region and a second wall region. The invention further refers to a closed container, obtainable from the container precursor; and to a closed container having the above composite sheet, the first and the second wall region.

A repulpable insulated container assembly having a container formed of paper such as corrugated cardboard or varying paper materials and defining an interior; and a repulpable insert placed within the interior of the container and formed of a first paper layer; and a paper fiber pad coupled to the first paper layer.

A method of forming a shipping container includes mixing paper fibers with a binder fiber to form a mixture; disposing the mixture onto a surface to form a layer of the mixture; applying heat to form a paper fiber batt from the mixture having a fixed width and fixed length; and inserting the paper fiber batt within an interior of a corrugated box.
