The present invention provides a label facestock film comprising a substrate web and a pattern of active material on a surface of the substrate web, wherein the substrate web comprises one or more label-forming regions and one or more matrix regions, and wherein the pattern of the active material is repetitive and forms a region of said surface that is free from any active material, wherein said region at least partially overlaps with one or more of the one or more matrix regions.

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.

Described herein are oxygen scavengers, oxygen scavenging polymeric compositions, and oxygen scavenging articles. The polymeric compositions comprising the oxygen scavengers may have utility in packaging, sealing, wrapping, and storing oxygen-sensitive substances, e.g., to preserve freshness of foods, beverages, and the like.

The present invention provides a label facestock film comprising a substrate web and a pattern of material comprising a VOC scavenger on a surface of the substrate web, wherein the pattern of the material comprising a VOC scavenger is repetitive and forms a region of said surface that is free from any material comprising a VOC scavenger.

A formed body made from a resin and having a wall portion, the wall portion containing, as an oxygen-absorbing component, a non-polymeric oxygen-absorbing organic component in an amount of 0.5 to 2.5% by mass, and having a ratio of oxygen permeation rates expressed by the following formula that is suppressed to be not more than 42%:

Ratio of oxygen permeation rates=(P/P.sub.0)100

wherein P is an oxygen permeation rate (cc) through the wall portion, and P.sub.0 is an oxygen permeation rate (cc) through the wall portion of the same thickness but without containing the oxygen-absorbing component.

A packaging material with a multi-layer structure including at least one layer for the release of an active agent with anti-microbial and/or anti-fungal activity, including the active agent in a biodegradable material, which allows its release in gas or vapor state and at least one coating layer including nanocellulose. The packaging material may include a structural substrate selected from cellulose, starch-based material, polyhydroxyalkanoate or a polybutylene succinate polymer. The packaging material may further include a coating layer with oxygen scavenging properties and a gas-barrier layer.

A liquid-containing combination container includes a first container that contains a liquid, a second container that contains the first container and that has an oxygen barrier property, and an oxygen absorber that absorbs oxygen in the second container. The first container includes a container body that includes an opening portion and a stopper that closes the opening portion, the stopper has oxygen permeability.

A package for a food product can include an insert enclosed within a single film formable using, e.g., flow-wrapping, to enclose the food product and the insert. At least one portion of insert may be made up of an absorbent material laminated to a backing, the absorbent material adapted to absorb moisture within the package. The insert may include a base upon which the food product can be placed and two or more sides extending up from the base to contain the food product from moving in one or more directions. Fins or overlapping portions of the film may be configured on at least two edges of the single film allowing a seal to be created thereby further allowing the single film to substantially enclose the food product and the insert. Crimped seals may further be employed to completely seal the food product and the insert within the single film. One or more of the seals may be self-venting to release accumulated steam/moisture during a cooking or preparation process.

A multilayer body comprising a sealing layer (A) comprising a thermoplastic resin, an oxygen absorption layer (B) comprising a thermoplastic resin and iron powder, and an oxygen barrier layer (D) having oxygen barrier properties, the layers being laminated in a described order, wherein at least one of the sealing layer (A) and the oxygen absorption layer (B) comprises an ionomer as the thermoplastic resin.

A method for securing a tamper evident closure to a container includes providing a pre-threaded closure that is defined by a top portion and a skirt portion that extends from the top portion. The skirt portion defines an inner closure thread surface and an opposed outer closure thread surface of at least one closure thread. The skirt portion also includes a tamper evident band. The pre-threaded closure is rotated to engage the at least one closure thread with at least one container thread of a container. The inner closure thread surface contacts a surface of the at least one container thread. The tamper evident band of the pre-threaded closure is rolled to secure the tamper evident band to the container.
