A package unit includes: a base on which a packaged object is placed; a box that surrounds the packaged object; and a lid that covers the box such that a surface provided with an overlapping section where a sheet is folded and overlapped serves as a high impact resistance surface when the packaged object receives an impact.

A thermoplastic film which exhibits elastic-like behavior along at least one axis when stretched or elongated and then released. The thermoplastic film comprises a plurality of raised rib-like elements extending in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the thermoplastic film. The thermoplastic film further includes a plurality of web areas positioned about the plurality of raised rib-like elements. The plurality of raised rib-like elements and plurality of web areas are arranged in a complex pattern. The complex pattern provides visual and tactile cues as the films are stretched or elongated. The complex pattern can cause the thermoplastic film to have a complex stretch profile.

One or more implementations of a multi-layer film include a first layer non-continuously bonded to a second pigmented layer. The multi-layer film includes an unexpected appearance differing from the appearance of the pigmented layer. In one or more embodiments, the multi-layer film includes a metallic appearance despite the pigmented layer being devoid of metallic pigment. The multi-layer film also includes areas that are visually distinct from areas of the film with the unexpected appearance. The visually-distinct areas comprise areas in which the first layer non-continuously is in intimate contact with the second pigmented layer. The visually-distinct areas have the appearance of the pigmented layer or another appearance. One or more implementations also include methods of making multi-layer films and bags with an unexpected appearance and visually-distinct areas.

The invention discloses a corrugated packaging material with a low weight and high strength properties, which material can be recycled with the office paper recycling stream. The corrugated packaging material of the invention exhibits good strength and stiffness properties, a low wash board tendency and provides a good printing surface.

A bale of stock packaging material includes a continuous tube of paperboard material, the continuous tube of paperboard material being flattened and folded back and forth on itself into a fan-folded bale. The continuous tube of paperboard can be a single piece of paperboard with two opposed edges that are folded to overlap with each other. The paperboard material can include a corrugated layer. The opposed edges can be adhered together to form a single seam that runs lengthwise along the continuous tube of paperboard. The adhesive can be applied between the two edges which can join to form the single seam.

A packaging material and assembly are generally disclosed. In use, a multi-layered packaging comprises a first layer of corrugated material, a second layer, a third layer, a fourth layer, and a fifth layer of corrugated material. Additionally, a first bonding material bonds the second layer in between the first layer and the third layer, and a second bonding material bonds the fourth layer in between the third layer and the fifth layer.

A bag or bag-like transport container or delivery container that can provide a high degree of thermal insulation. More particularly, the disclosed invention relates to an improved container for storage and transportation of goods that comprises a bag-like or box-like container that can be hand-held and that can provide good thermal insulation. The disclosed invention seeks to provide an improved corrugated sheet container and provides a system having first and second cellulose fiber bag-like elements, at least one of which is provided with a surface metallization treatment whereby to provide beneficial thermal characteristics.

Functionalized corrugated cardboard, at least one paper web of which is replaced by a functionalized, multi-layer plastic film.
