In an embodiment, the invention comprises a wrapper with dead bend characteristics. The wrapper comprises a first polyethylene layer comprising low density polyethylene; a second polyethylene layer affixed to the first layer, wherein the second polyethylene layer comprises high density polyethylene; a first tie layer affixed to the second layer, opposite the first layer; a barrier layer affixed to the tie layer, opposite the second layer; a second tie layer affixed to the barrier layer, opposite the first tie layer; a third polyethylene layer affixed to the second tie layer, opposite the barrier layer, wherein the third polyethylene layer comprises high density polyethylene; and a fourth polyethylene layer affixed to the third polyethylene layer, opposite the second tie layer, wherein the fourth polyethylene layer comprises low density polyethylene. In an embodiment, the tie layers and the barrier layer may be substituted with a cyclic olefin copolymer layer.

Disclosed are packaged fibrous material bales and methods for packaging fibrous materials such as cellulose acetate tow bales. The packaged fibrous material bale may comprise a compressed fibrous material enclosed in packaging. The packaging may comprise an upper sheet and a lower sheet comprising a tab. After the residual forces in the packaged bale have equilibrated following pressing, greater than 99% of the surface area of the bale is enclosed by the packaging.

A wrapper and three-dimensional package for toasted and other hot food items that includes a sheet with an array of perforations extending through the sheet material between an inner face of the sheet material adapted to contact the food item, and an opposite, outer face of the sheet material. Spicules are formed from the sheet material surrounding each of the perforations and extending away from the inner face of the sheet material. The spicules form standoffs defining an air gap between the food item and the sheet material when the food item is contained in the wrapper, with the spicules engaging an outer surface of the food item to enable lateral migration of steam from the food item, along the air gap and through the perforations.

The heat-shrinkable film includes a block copolymer comprising a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-derived structural unit and a conjugated diene-derived structural unit as a main component.

A method for producing a reheatable food product includes mixing butter, maltodextrin and breadcrumbs so as to form a butter mixture, obtaining a first slice of bread and a second slice of bread, spreading the butter mixture onto a first surface of the first slice of bread and a first surface of the second slice of bread, applying 5 g to 70 g of a filling to the second surface of the first slice of bread, positioning the second slice of bread on the filling such that the second surface of the second slice of bread is adjacent thereto to form the food product, grilling the food product until the first surfaces are golden brown, and compressing the food product to a thickness of 0.56 inches to 0.75 inches while grilling, freezing the food product to a frozen state, reheating the food product.
