A box suitable for the packaging of a consumer product is formed by helically wrapping an elongated continuous strip of material around a mandrel to form a main body with a plurality of bands. In one embodiment, adjacent bands partially overlie one another to form a multi-paneled main body with an open top end and an open bottom end. An adhesive is disposed within the region of contact between adjacent bands to retain the shape of the main body. First and second sets of slots are formed in the main body to create flaps dimensioned to selectively enclose the open top and bottom ends, respectively. To define the flaps and promote pivotal articulation, the main body is also preferably provided with score lines. By adjusting the configuration of the mandrel, a customized box can be constructed that is sized to receive a consumer product with limited wasted space.

A high barrier paperboard includes a paperboard substrate having a first major side and a second major side, at least one ethylene-vinyl alcohol layer on the first major side of the paperboard substrate, and at least one nucleated polyethylene layer on the first major side of the paperboard substrate.

An object is to provide a barrier material which not only is high in degree of biomass and small in amount of CO.sub.2 emitted, but also has biodegradability and simultaneously has excellent gas barrier property and water vapor barrier property, and which can be suitably used particularly in packaging applications for foods or the like, such as a packaging material, a bag, a paper container, a cardboard box, and a cup. A solution to be provided is a barrier material having an oxygen permeability of 10 ml/m.sup.2.Math.day.Math.atm or less at a temperature of 23° C. and a relative humidity of 0%, and having a total degree of biomass of 50% or more.

An ovenable tray composite comprises a polymeric based liner and a fiber based component. The polymeric based liner incorporates polyolefin materials for performance in both adhesion (during use) and separation (for disposal) from the fiber based component, as well as high temperature resistant polymers that allow for the entire tray composite to be ovenable. Packages made from the lined trays described herein can be used for packaging food items intended to be heated for cooking or reheating the contents.

A method for fabricating a sheet structure from paper and/or paperboard material, which provides a thickness dimension ordinarily associated with corrugated paperboard material. The sheet structure is constructed from a first planar linerboard sheet and a second non-planar linerboard sheet, wherein a plurality of projections are cut and folded from the second linerboard sheet and are adhesively coupled to the first linerboard sheet, such that portions of the projections define a standoff between the first and second linerboard sheets.

A packaging material comprising a core layer, an outermost layer arranged to face the exterior of a packaging container made of the packaging material, and an innermost layer arranged to face the interior of the packaging container is provided. The outermost layer and the innermost layer are laminated to the core layer. The laminated packaging material further comprises a locally distributed heat sealable material portion arranged on the innermost layer.

A liquid-packaging carton material and a liquid-packaging carton each suitable for sealing of a joint portion by an ultrasonic vibration sealing system. The liquid-packaging carton material includes: a paper base material layer (layer A); a thermoplastic resin layer containing a polyethylene resin as a main component (layer B) serving as an outermost layer, which is laminated on a front surface of the paper base material layer (layer A); and at least: a thermoplastic resin layer containing a polyethylene resin as a main component (layer C); a barrier layer (layer D); an adhesive resin layer (layer E); and a thermoplastic resin layer containing a polyethylene resin as a main component (layer F) serving as an innermost layer, which are laminated on a back surface of the paper base material layer (layer A) in the stated order from a back surface side.
