Abstract: The present disclosure provides paper wraps, paper wrapped products, such as rolled bath tissue, paper towel products, or bundles of rolled bath tissue or paper towels, and methods for covering a product or bundled products in a paper wrap. For example, printed paper wraps and their use are described, wherein the printed paper wraps comprise at least one heat-sealable adhesive that may be applied in varying locations, coverage levels, and patterns comprising different seal strengths, which may be sealed using heat and/or pressure external to the products for packaging and protective purposes.

Abstract: The specification discloses a method for affixing a strip to an underlying web substrate. According to the method, a substrate web having at least one surface is provided and at least one strip is applied over at least a portion of the substrate surface such that at least a significant portion of an underside surface of the strip disposed adjacent the substrate surface is unbounded to the substrate. A polymer coating is extruded over both the substrate surface and the strip. The strip is thereby affixed to the substrate surface by the coating while the portion of the underside surface of the strip remains substantially unbounded to the substrate surface. At the same time, a substantial portion of an upper surface of the strip adjacent the polymer coating layer is bonded to the coating layer. Also disclosed are packaging materials formed from the reinforced substrate.

Abstract: The wrapper for a ream of paper has an inner surface coated with polyethylene. When the wrapper is formed about a ream of paper, the inner layer overlaps and contacts the outer layer along a longitudinal seam. The polyethylene layer is used to create a seal with the application of heat. Areas of the inner surface in proximity to a heat source during the heat sealing process and where a seal will not be beneficial are covered with a heat shield, such as a varnish. In this way, damage to the paper is avoided. The varnish includes Styrenated Acrylic polymer, with Kaolin Clay and ink. The varnish is applied to the wrapper during the same manufacturing process as the polyethylene coating.

Abstract: The specification discloses a method for extrusion coating a lightweight web. According to the method, a length of a lightweight web along with a length of a carrier web is fed to an extruder with the lightweight web positioned atop the carrier web. A polymer film is then extruded onto the combined lightweight web and carrier web to provide an extrusion-coated lightweight web. Thereafter, the extrusion-coated lightweight is separated from the carrier web. Also disclosed are extrusion-coated lightweight webs formed according to the method.

Abstract: The specification discloses a method for coating multiple substrate webs on a dual or tandem extruder system having multiple extruder stations. The webs may be coated together as a temporary composite web or alternately may be coated independently of one another using separate coating stations. Also disclosed are improved multiple station coating systems for use in the practice of the invention. The invention enables more efficient and economical use of dual or tandem extruder systems.

Abstract: The specification discloses a method for extrusion coating multiple substrate webs on a dual or tandem extruder system having multiple extruder stations. The method includes as an initial step providing a first substrate web and a second substrate web wherein each of the first and second substrate webs has a coating side and an underside. The webs are temporarily joined to form a composite web wherein the respective coating sides face outward and the respective undersides face one another. A first polymer coating is extruded on the coating side of the first web at a first extrusion station. Subsequently, a second polymer coating is extruded on the coating side of the second web at a second extrusion station. The extrusion coated first and second webs are then separated. The invention enables more efficient and economical use of dual or tandem extruder systems.

Abstract: A substrate comprising a paper layer and at least one biodegradable polymer layer extruded thereon is provided. The paper layer may have an extruded polymer layer on each side, it may have multiple polymer layers extruded on one side, or both. Additives appropriate for the particular use of the substrate may be added to one or more of the polymer layers.

Abstract: The specification discloses a synthetic paper composite web containing a relatively smooth, dense top layer comprising synthetic pulp, a relatively soft non-woven base layer of synthetic filaments and a low density polyolefin film layer substantially continuously interbonding the top and base layers together along their interface. An advantage of the composite of the invention is that it is substantially weather resistant, strong, recyclable and compatible with a range of inks and printing systems.

Abstract: A release liner based stock for use as a carrier web including a paper substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface. A release agent is coating on the top of the upper surface. The unique soap-based acrylic layer discourages curling of the base stock release liner, fiber pick-off contamination from the uncoated side of the paper substrate, and maintains a consistent peel off force required for removing a label from the release liner and deploying it on a target object.

Abstract: An inner layer, i.e. liner, for a generally tubular, multilayered dough container comprising a laminated web suitable for being helically wound into a tubular geometry and which includes a plurality of layers, the innermost of such web layers providing improved bonding characteristics for the liner, hence improved containment and sealing of the dough, and a container including such liner.

Abstract: A wrapper paper for pressure sensitive products bearing on one of its flat surfaces a layer of polyethylene and on the opposite of its flat surfaces a layer of a primer selected from the polyalkyleneimine class, at least portions of the opposite flat coated surfaces facing one another in overlapping relationship when the paper is wrapped about a product, the overlying areas of the wrapper paper being sealed to one another by heat means and the application of very low pressure to the overlapping portions.
