The invention relates to a food packaging unit (20) comprising a food container (1) for receiving a liquid, pasty or free-flowing food. The injection-moulded, single-component, cup-shaped base body (2) of the food container surrounds, with a wall (5), a bottom (6) and an outwardly projecting collar (7), an opening (4) which is closed by a food-container-covering film (10) applied to the collar (7). The food container (1) is injection-moulded in a single layer from a polymer blend comprising two components, a first component of which being PVOH or a PVOH copolymer. The food-container-covering film (10), which can be applied to the plastic food container (1) in order to close the opening (4) by sealing, welding or adhesion, comprises a cellulose-containing layer which is coated with PVOH, or a PVOH polymer blend layer.

The present invention provides coated films and packages formed from such films. In one aspect, a partially coated film comprises (a) a film having two outer surfaces, wherein a first outer surface is provided by a film layer that comprises from 70 to 100 percent by weight of a polyolefin having a density of 0.860 to 0.965 g/cm.sup.3; and (b) a coating on the first outer surface of the film comprising polyurethane, wherein the coating covers less than 25% of the surface area of the first outer surface of the film and wherein the coated portion of the film exhibits an Elmendorf tear in at least one of the machine direction or cross direction that is at least 20% less than the Elmendorf tear of the uncoated portion in the same direction, with the Elmendorf tear being measured in accordance with ASTM D1922.

The present disclosure relates to multi-layer film constructions and methods of manufacturing and using the same. The multi-layer film constructions can include a first layer joined to a second layer. The first layer can include one or more abuse resistant materials. The second layer can include a sealant film, which can be a multi-layer film having one or more sealing layers or sublayers. The second layer can also include one or more barrier layers. The multi-layer film constructions can also include score regions, which can be imparted by a laser or other mechanical implement.

In an embodiment, a heat-seal film includes 10-90 wt % of a first polymer component and 10-90 wt % of a second polymer component, based on a total weight of the first polymer component and the second polymer component, wherein: the first polymer component includes propylene, and optionally, up to 18 wt % of a C.sub.2 and/or a C.sub.4-C.sub.20 α-olefin based on a total weight of the first polymer component; and the second polymer component includes 91-99.9 wt % of propylene and 0.1-9 wt % of ethylene based on a total weight of the second polymer component, the second copolymer component having a melt flow rate of 2-60 g/10 min. In another embodiment, a multi-layer film structure includes a heat-seal layer including a heat-seal film described herein; and an unoriented, an uniaxially oriented, or a biaxially oriented base layer including polypropylene homopolymer, a polypropylene random copolymer, or a combination thereof.

The present invention refers to a polymeric film comprising odor barrier material and being able to pack malodorous waste.

A multilayer film comprising, in this order: (a) a biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate layer, (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive layer, (c) an elastic polyurethane dispersion, and (d) a biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate layer.

Layer (d) preferably has the structure A:B:A:C; where A and B preferably comprise crystalline PET and antiblocking particles and C is preferably an amorphous, heat-sealable copolyester.

A textured film is provided which comprises nanocellulose. At least a first surface of the film comprises a patterned, textured surface formed by repeating protruding regions and at least one non-protruding region arranged between said protruding regions. A particular height difference between the protruding and non-protruding regions can give liquid repellent properties. Methods for making the textured film are also provided.

A method is for producing a coextruded and biaxially stretched composite film using a novel combination of stretching and relaxation steps. A corresponding composite film has little or no shrinkage.

A method of forming a film comprising nanocellulose having an Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) value in the range of 0.1 to 300 cc/m.sup.2/24 h at 38° C. and 85% relative humidity (RH), and having a basis weight in the range of in the range of 0.1 to 45 g/m.sup.2 wherein the method comprises the steps of; providing a suspension comprising nanocellulose, forming at least one layer of a web or a film from said suspension; drying said formed web or film to a dry content of at least 65 weight-%, wherein said method further comprises the steps of; treating at least one side of said dewatered and dried web or film with ultra violet (UV) or electron beam (EB) irradiation; and wherein at least one cooling step is provided in connection with or after the UV or EB treatment step.

An epoxy resin composition including an epoxy resin, an epoxy resin curing agent containing an amine-based curing agent, and an unsaturated fatty acid amide having from 14 to 24 carbons, a gas barrier laminate and a retort food packaging material using the epoxy resin composition, an odor-proofing or aroma-retaining packaging material, an odor-proofing or aroma-retaining method of sealing an article containing an odorous component or an aromatic component in the packaging material, a heat-shrinkable label, the production method of the heat-shrinkable label, a heat-shrunken label and a bottle having the heat-shrunken label, and a CO.sub.2 transmission prevention method.
