An absorbent pad has: a first, outer layer comprising a permeable or non-permeable film; a second, outer layer comprising a permeable or non-permeable film, placed on a side of the pad opposite the first, outer layer; a third layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer, and comprising a tissue laminate comprising at least a first ply and a second ply, with at least one chemical agent or system fixed in the third layer and being either activated by contact with or soluble in an aqueous liquid, the at least one chemical agent or system being in a predetermined amount distributed substantially uniformly per unit area of the surface area between the at least first ply and second ply: and a fourth layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer and comprising fluff, with or without a chemical agent or system, the third layer being joined to the fourth layer to serve as a substrate for the fourth layer.

A package for containing liquid-exuding product is formed of a single sheet of film that is folded and sealed at certain locations. The package can include an active member, optionally in the form of absorbent, that is heat staked or otherwise attached to a portion of the sheet of film such that the active member is located on an interior surface of a bottom of the folded and sealed package.

Systems and methods are provided for tracking all chemicals, including odors, a package is exposed to throughout the shipping process. A device is attached to the package or placed within the package to extract the chemicals that are in the surrounding environment to the device. The device can extract and concentrate volatile, semi-volatile and non-volatile chemicals that the device and the corresponding package are exposed to throughout the shipping process. The extracted chemicals may then be desorbed from the device and analyzed by an analytical instrumentation method.

A microwavable food packaging can be configured to absorb fluid. The packaging can include a first sheet and a flexible second sheet. The first sheet can include a first polymeric layer. The first sheet can define an upper portion of a food pocket. The flexible second sheet can include an absorbent layer. The absorbent layer can include a paper-based side and a polymer-based side. The paper-based side can include paper fibers, define a bottom of the food pocket and be configured to absorb fluid released from food disposed within the food pocket. The first polymeric layer can be bonded to the polymer-based side through the paper-based side to form a non-hermetic seal, the non-hermetic seal enabling passage of moisture therethrough.

Provided is a hygroscopic packaging container which eliminates the necessity of filling a moisture absorbent and which has satisfactory working efficiency and is highly effective in moisture absorption. The hygroscopic packaging container is obtained from two gas-barrier multilayer films each comprising a gas-barrier layer and a heat-sealable layer, by stacking the gas-barrier multilayer films so that the surface of one of the heat-sealable layers overlies that of the other and heat-sealing the peripheral parts of the layers, at least one heat-sealable layer of the two gas-barrier multilayer films being a hygroscopic heat-sealable layer.

The present invention relates to an oxygen-scavenging composition comprising: at least 1.0% by weight of polybutadiene based on the total weight of the composition, wherein said polybutadiene has a number average molecular weight Mn of from 1000 to 10000 g/mol as determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) as described in the specification under the Determination methods; and a polypropylene component.

The present invention also relates to the use of an oxygen-scavenging composition according to the invention for the manufacture of an article.

A blister pack configured to sealingly enclose at least one active member and product includes a backing having a first side and an opposing second side. Each of the first and second side is flat or planar. The blister pack can also include a cover having a first side and an opposing second side. At least a portion of the second side of the cover is adhered to the first side of the backing to form a sealed package for containing product. The cover can include at least one blister. Each blister can have a dome portion and a base portion. The base portion can surround the dome portion. The base portion can extend outwardly beyond the first side of the cover.

The present invention refers to an element (E) for moisture control and to the use of said element for preserving substrates in controlled moisture conditions.

The method includes infusing oxygen scavenging elements within at least a portion of an interior surface layer of at least one first polymer layer of a pouch material, the pouch material including a gas impermeable layer connected to the at least one first polymer layer, enclosing a consumable item within the pouch material, and joining ends of the pouch material to form a sealed inner cavity, the sealed inner cavity containing the consumable item.

A system for addition to a box for transporting hot food includes a first sheet composed of a first layer of nonstick aluminum and a second layer of parchment paper, wherein the second layer of the first sheet is configured for being removably coupled to an interior surface of a top portion of the box, a second sheet composed of a first layer of nonstick aluminum and a second layer of parchment paper, wherein the second layer of the second sheet is configured for being removably coupled to an interior surface of a bottom portion of the box, wherein the first sheet includes a plurality of orifices configured for allowing moisture to escape therethrough.
