Abstract: A paperboard structure including a paperboard substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface and a basecoat applied to the first major surface and/or the second major surface, the basecoat including a pigment component, the pigment component including all pigments in the basecoat, wherein the pigment component has a median particle size between about 3 and about 8 micrometers, and wherein at most about 15 percent by weight of the pigment component has a particle size smaller than 1 micrometer.

Abstract: A product dispensing system including a container having a plurality of walls that define an internal volume and an opening into the internal volume, wherein the container defines a first arrangement of perforations extending in a first row from the opening and a second arrangement of perforations extending in a second row from the opening, wherein the first perforations are staggered by a distance relative to the second perforations.

Abstract: A method for reducing hydrocarbon emissions from automotive evaporative emissions control systems comprising steps of: contacting a vented fuel vapor stream from a fuel tank (1) with a first passive purge canister bed (5), the passive purge canister bed comprising a vapor adsorbent material and including a passive purge vapor inlet and a passive purge vapor outlet for vapor stream flow, —contacting a vapor stream from the passive purge vapor outlet with an active purge canister bed, the active purge canister bed (2) comprising a vapor adsorbent material; contacting the active purge canister bed with mechanically convected purge air, wherein the mechanically convected purge air is prevented from flowing through the passive purge canister bed; and contacting the passive purge canister bed with fresh purge air drawn passively by the fuel tank through the passive purge vapor outlet without first contacting said active purge canister bed.

Abstract: A package (100) is disclosed which includes a blister with two halves (150,160) that rotate apart, the blister flanges being sealed within two paperboard cards (110, 120). The package may be opened by tearing across the paperboard cards, then rotating or tilting the blister halves apart.

Abstract: A tether or insert carries a conductive trace. The tether, or insert is positioned inside a package and a security module attached to a portion of the tether or insert exposed to the outside of the package. Product conducts are attached to the tether or insert within the package. Removal of the product breaks the conductive trace and causes the security module to generate an alarm.

Abstract: A paper-based container lid comprises a top wall, a side wall connecting to the top wall, and a sealing channel formed on the side wall for sealingly engaging a rim of the container and securing the lid to the container, wherein the top wall and the side wall are preferably formed from separate blanks.

Abstract: An air intake emission control device includes a self -forming adsorbing element (200) comprising a front edge (301), a back edge (302), side edges (303) extending between the front and back edges and defining an air intake flow path, and a first locking component (301a) on the front edge, back edge, or both. The device further includes a second locking component (403) configured to engage the first locking component and retain the self-forming adsorbing element in a predetermined structure.
