  • Patent number: 11613108
    Abstract: Packaging material formed from a substrate and three coating layers or in some instances at least three coating layers, each coating including an aqueous polymeric solution or dispersion dried to form a continuous film such that the packaging material is provided with tailored performance attributes including desired moisture vapor transmission rates, oxygen permeation rates, oil and grease resistance peel strength. The materials forming the packaging material may be compostable or biodegradable.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 28, 2023
    Assignee: GPCP IP Holdings LLC

  • Patent number: 10562659
    Abstract: A paperboard blank and cup made therefrom are provided. The blank includes a paperboard substrate having a first side and a second side. A first polymer layer can be disposed on at least a portion of the first side of the paperboard substrate, and a second polymer layer can be disposed on at least a portion of the second side of the paperboard substrate. Both the first and second polymer layers can include at least one polymer component that is thermoplastic. The second polymer layer further comprises at least one polymer component, which is not present in the first polymer layer, and has a glass transition temperature higher than all the polymer components of the first polymer layer.
