  • Publication number: 20020041046
    Abstract: At least one container is disposed in contact with at least one mandrel to cause a thermoplastic polymeric film on the container to foam and become a heat insulative layer. The mandrel is heatable to a predetermined temperature and the container is in direct contact therewith or disposed thereon for a predetermined period of time, to thereby cause the foamable material on the container to foam. A method of making a web of heat insulative nonwoven material includes providing a web of nonwoven material, applying a layer of thermoplastic polymeric material to a first surface of the web to form a web laminate, placing the web laminate in contact with a heated surface, heating the web laminate and thereby expanding the layer of thermoplastic material with moisture that is vaporized from the nonwoven material. The web laminate may then be fabricated to form a container or a portion of a container.

  • Patent number: 5955133
    Abstract: A method for wrapping sandwich products that include a heel of bread and a crown of bread involves placing the heel of bread on a flat sheet of packaging wrap, placing the crown of bread on the packaging wrap adjacent one of the corners of the packaging wrap, dressing the heel and/or the crown of bread, and then carrying out various folding steps to produce a wrapped or packaged sandwich product. The folding steps include inwardly folding the corner of the packaging wrap on which the crown of bread has been placed together with the crown of bread to position the crown of bread on top of the heel of bread and with the corner of the wrap being positioned in overlying relation to the crown of bread. A second portion of the packaging wrap is then inwardly folded to lie adjacent the folded corner, a third portion of the packaging wrap is inwardly folded to lie adjacent the folded second portion, and then a fourth portion of the packaging wrap is inwardly folded to lie adjacent the folded third portion.
