Abstract: A recyclable, laminated polyolefin-based film structure comprises two or more film plies laminated to each other. Each of the laminated film plies comprises one or more polyolefin-based films. The film structure has an energy cured coating layer or a two-part coating layer disposed on the outermost outward facing surface of the film structure and a printed ink layer on an interior surface of one of the polyolefin-based polyolefin layers. In certain embodiments, the outermost surface of the laminated polyolefin-based film structure has a melting temperature which is at least 100 degrees Celsius, and more preferably 150 or 180 degrees Celsius, higher than a melting temperature of the innermost surface of the laminated polyolefin-based film structure.

Abstract: A multilayer packaging material includes a substrate formed of a cellulosic fiber-based material. The substrate has a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. An oxygen barrier layer is formed of a PVOH material attached to the substrate, wherein the oxygen barrier layer is an innermost layer of the multilayer packaging material and further wherein the oxygen barrier layer is heat sealable. At least one moisture barrier layer is attached to the substrate, the moisture barrier layer selected from an inner moisture barrier layer disposed intermediate the substrate and the oxygen barrier layer and an outer moisture barrier layer disposed on the second major surface of the substrate. In further aspects, a packaging article, a method for making a multilayer packaging material, and a method for packaging a product are provided.

Abstract: In one aspect, a pouch includes a first panel, a second panel, and a bottom gusset, wherein the first panel, second panel, and bottom gusset are formed of a polyester-based film structure and wherein the bending stiffness of the bottom gusset panel is less than or equal to 0.05 N mm. Each of the polyester-based film structures may be formed of a polyester-based polymeric composition comprising polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or a blend from 0-100% by weight of PBT in PET. It is contemplated that each polyester-based film structure may comprise two or more film plies laminated to each other.
