A bundle of tubular and/or rod-shaped glass articles is provided that includes a longest dimension, a plurality of layers (N.sub.L) of the glass articles, and a thread-like element. The longest dimension extends in a first direction. The glass articles in each layer are arranged side by side in a second direction. The plurality of layers are arranged side by side in a third direction. The first, second, and third directions being perpendicular to one another. The thread-like element is around two of the glass articles in at least one layer so that the two glass articles are spaced apart. The thread-like element has a cross section between at least 0.25 mm and at most 4.0 mm.

A multilayer film containing up to 15 wt % of a blend of cis-13-docosenamide and at least one primary antimicrobial material on or in an exterior layer of the film. The blend of cis-13-docosenamide and at least one primary antimicrobial material is either extruded as part of the surface layer of the film or coated onto the surface of the film.

The present invention provides a packaging structure and a packaging method for a refrigerator. The packaging structure for a refrigerator comprises a bottom seat supported on a bottom of the refrigerator, a top seat covering a top of the refrigerator, four vertical side edges, and a film layer, wherein the film layer wraps an outer surface of an outline main body formed by the bottom seat, the top seat and the four vertical side edges by means of film shrinking upon heating. The packaging structure and packaging method employ the film which is heated to shrink to form a layer of outer film, the packaging manner of covering the whole refrigerator with paper needn't be employed, and the cost can be saved.

The present invention relates to a shipping container for rolled goods, particularly relatively heavy and rigid rolled products such as high count rolls of trash bags. In at least one embodiment, the shipping container may be used for shipping a product enclosure containing a pair of rolled trash bags. The shipping container can include a pair of opposing side reinforcing trays to prevent damage to the shipping container when in transit. The invention can conserve the amount of materials used and reduce the shipping weight of the container. The shipping container can further include a flexible overwrap to maintain the reinforcement trays on the opposing side ends of the product enclosure and to provide for additional reinforcement to the shipping container.

Described herein is a packaging system comprising a sleeve having a plurality of sides, an open top, and an open bottom, each of the sides having an inner surface, an inner liner located on the inner surfaces of the sides of the sleeve, the inner liner having an inner surface that defines a cavity, a plurality of building panels located in the cavity, and an outer wrapping surrounding at least a portion of the sleeve and at least a portion of the plurality of building panels.

A food product package for containing a shingled stack of food product slices is provided including a package bottom and a non-planar periphery, the package bottom having walls oriented to be substantially the same geometry as the shingled stack of food product slices.

A product display platform for use in the packaging and display of a food or other product is disclosed. The product display platform is comprised of a base panel having a peripheral edge defining a central area for receiving a product and a sidewall downwardly depending from the peripheral edge of the base panel, the sidewall being generally continuous around the perimeter of the base panel. In some embodiments the base panel is formed with a textured pattern to enhance the packaging/storing of the product, especially for food products, and also provides aesthetic appeal. In use, a protective film arranged over top of and around the product and product display platform is subject to a heat shrink wrapping process allowing the product arranged on the base panel to be fully viewable when arranged on the corresponding product display platform.

A package for containing a shingled stack of food product slices.

A polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable film for pack-in box packaging, in which: a product is not damaged due to breakage or looseness of a film during packaging and transportation of the product; because of the low-temperature shrink characteristic, the product is not exposed to excessively high heat during shrink wrapping and power consumption in a shrink tunnel can be reduced; and because of a small thickness of the film, garbage and other wastes can be reduced. The film is a polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable multilayer film for pack-in box packaging obtained by biaxial orientation in MD and TD and stretching in MD only further after biaxial orientation. Preferably, the film is a polyethylene-based thermally-shrinkable multilayer film for pack-in box packaging in which the film as a whole has a thickness of 25 μm or less.

A multilayer heat-shrinkable film having a sealant layer and skin layer each including a linear low density polyethylene copolymer and a silicon dioxide, at least two substrate layers including an ethylene copolymer; and a core layer including a very low density polyethylene copolymer.
