Patent number: 9498936Abstract: Multilayer structures, methods of making the same and packages made therefrom are provided. The multilayer structures are useful for packaging bone-in meat or other like products. More specifically, the multilayer structures have sufficient rigidity and strength to contain bone-in meat or other like products, while also maintaining good oxygen barrier properties. In addition, multilayer structures can easily seal to themselves or to other structures. Moreover, the multilayer structures are biaxially oriented and heat-shrinkable.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2005Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: COVERIS FLEXIBLES US LLCInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 9487333Abstract: A strainable bag with a hook-and-hook closure can include walls formed of a material having multiple layers of polymer or paper or mixtures thereof, and which can include at least one gusset. The hook-and-hook closure allows for liquids or gases to be vented from the bag, as well as for liquids to be removed from the bag interior. The bag can be formed into a full open mouth configuration for ease of filling and ease of dispensing product. The hook-and-hook closure also allows for an imprecise alignment of the closure track to substantially close the bag around the gusset area. Methods of using and manufacturing a strainable bag with a hook-and-hook closure for preparing various food products are also presented.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2012Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: COVERIS FLEXIBLES US LLCInventors: Cory VanLoocke, Dave McKnight, Tim Kieny, S.
