Abstract: A carton has side and bottom walls of generally rectangular configuration, a pair of dust flaps hinged for closure on opposed side walls, and a pair of closure flaps hinged on opposed walls perpendicular to the first, for closure over the dust flaps. The dust flaps are constructed and arranged to be hinged inwardly of the carton and include cut-out sections that receive neck portions of a dispensing bottle and a rotationally locked dispensing nozzle thereon to hold the nozzle in place and to hold the bottle stationary as against movement about its base which is itself engaged, and held from shifting, by the carton side walls.

Abstract: An improved bacon package is disclosed. The stiffening packaging element, commonly known as a bacon board, has full width top and bottom panels which support the bacon from the bottom and cover it over the entire top. Cover flaps on the ends of the top panel are defined by lines of weak bending resistance, and function to cover the ends of the array of bacon when the packaging element and bacon are enclosed in plastic films in a vacuum packaging operation.

Abstract: New bacon packaging is disclosed. The stiffening packaging element, commonly known as a bacon board, has full width top and bottom panels which support the bacon from the bottom and cover it on the top. Special cover flaps on the ends of the top panel are defined by transverse lines of weak bending resistance. The cover flaps, which function to cover the ends of the array of bacon, have segmental arcuate lines of weak bending resistance extending from the free edge of the cover flaps to the corresponding transverse line, and back to the free edge.

Abstract: A method and system for applying a foamed binding agent to a fibrous web is disclosed. The invention is characterized by the use of an extruder having an upper lip extending 1/16 to 1/4 inch beyond the lower lip, and by the drawing of a vacuum beneath the applied foam, said characteristics being critical to the formation of a uniform foam layer atop the web. A second, more substantial vacuum is then applied beneath the web to essentially completely draw the binding agent into the web thereby providing substantial inter-fiber bonding.
