The invention discloses a method for producing a packaging material and a packaging material suitable for packaging of food and/or liquid. In the method of the invention a first barrier layer, and an optional second barrier layer, is applied on a first side of a paperboard web. The thereby formed barrier coated web is at least partly dried in a first drying step, whereupon an extruded layer is applied onto the partly dried barrier coated web in a second coating step. In accordance with the invention, the first and second coating steps are applied integrated within the same coating line. The application of a first barrier layer and an extrusion coated layer in the same coating line in accordance with the invention has shown to give rise to a packaging material with remarkably good barrier properties, especially gas-, liquid and/or grease barrier properties, for the packaging of food and/or liquid.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a coated cellulosic laminar element for disposable food and/or drinks service packaging and containers, comprising the following steps: (a) performing a first application of an aqueous dispersion of an ethylene compound and an acrylic compound on a single side of the cellulosic laminar element; (b) drying the dispersion applied in a); (c) performing, after the drying, a second application of the ethylene compound and acrylic compound to the ethylene compound and acrylic compound applied in a) on the same side; (d) drying the dispersion applied in c). The present invention also relates to a cellulosic laminar element and to a disposable foods and/or drinks service packaging and containers obtained by means of the method of the present invention.

A single ply napkin food wrapper is moisture resistant on the food side but moisture absorbent on the outside. The wrapper is used to wrap food when delivered to the customer and the wrapper can later be used as a napkin by the customer. Delivery of a napkin is thus ensured with each food item.

Described herein is a water vapor barrier coating composition that is especially useful for paper-based packaging applications. The composition includes a basecoat layer and a topcoat layer that are applied to fibrous substrates in sequential order as aqueous coatings. The basecoat layer is applied and dried and then the topcoat layer is applied and dried. The basecoat layer includes an aqueous solution of ethylenically modified polyvinyl alcohol and optionally a plasticizer. The topcoat layer includes an aqueous polymeric dispersion or emulsion, compatibilized with the base layer by adding a small percentage of ethylenically modified polyvinyl alcohol solution, and optionally a viscosity modifier, defoamer, release agent, slip agent, crosslinker, and/or anti-blocking additive. The composition includes a synergistic interaction between the basecoat and the topcoat. The composition is optionally biodegradable and/or compostable, along with a coated paper stock, without the need to separate and reprocess the coating.

Disclosed is a biodegradable container comprising a biodegradable material and a reinforced barrier film coated onto the biodegradable material, wherein the reinforced barrier film comprises graphene nanoplatelets dispersed in a biodegradable polymeric substrate.
