Abstract: The invention is a flexible packaging material having a narrow band of pressure sensitive adhesive beneath a heatsealable surface layer. When the material is formed into a package, a heatseal is formed along the band of pressure sensitive adhesive. When the heatseal is opened, the pressure sensitive adhesive becomes exposed at the surface of the seal, which enables the package to be resealed by manual pressure alone. A particular advantage of the invention is that the pressure sensitive adhesive is present only in the narrow band, where it is needed to form the resealable seal. The packaging material is made by side-by-side coextrusion.

Abstract: A carpet tape is disclosed with hooks projecting from the front side of a sheet for attachment to loops on the underside of the carpet and with an opposite adhesive side for attachment to the floor. Selected, non-contiguous areas of the sheet are removed to create holes to reduce the mount of material, to reduce seam telegraphing and to allow moisture to be released from beneath the tape. A covering provides integrity for the tape prior to installation.

Abstract: A masking tape is provided that is suitable for insertion under many moldings and gaskets which not only masks the molding or gasket but also facilitates refinishing under at least a portion of the molding or gasket. The masking tape is constructed to include a longitudinal non-adhesive portion and a longitudinal adhesive portion, wherein the non-adhesive portion is stiffer than the adhesive portion and is sufficiently stiff to facilitate easy insertion of the non-adhesive portion beneath at least a portion of the molding or gasket to be masked while the adhesive portion is sufficiently flexible to permit the wrapping thereof around the molding or gasket. The stiffened portion advantageously provides a dual purpose of facilitating the easy insertion of the non-adhesive portion beneath the molding or gasket and creating a lever action during application between the molding or gasket and the wall or panel to which the molding or gasket is mounted.

In one embodiment, the laminate structure comprises a core layer of a biaxially oriented voided polypropylene film to the opposite sides of which first and second outer layers of a nonvoid-bearing biaxially oriented polyester film are adhesively laminated to form a symmetrical or balanced laminate structure. A heat seal layer or coating is applied to one side of the laminate structure. A static charge dissipating layer or coating is applied to the other side of the laminate structure. The laminate has sufficient stiffness to be readily die cuttable, has excellent lay flat characteristics, remains substantially curl-free when exposed to heat from either side and is readily denested from a stack of lids during package processing.
