Abstract: Packaging boxes and packaging methods for providing the ability to quickly open tape-sealed packages while eliminating the necessity for cutting tools and potential cutting injuries associated with these cutting tools. Through the inclusion of at least one perforated access panel in at least one end portion of a corrugated packaging box, hand access is provided to an end of the tape allowing the length of tape to be completely removed without the use of any cutting tools. The at least one perforated access panel can include a punch-in section and a tear-away section wherein a tape end is positioned over at least a portion of the punch-in section. The punch-in section can be pushed inwards providing access to the tear-away section. Pulling on the tear-away section results in the tear-away section and correspondingly, the tape being torn from the packaging box.

Abstract: Described are refrigerator-stable, chemically-leavened dough compositions, packaged dough products, and methods for preparing the same, wherein the dough compositions can be packaged and stored in a pressurized package.

Abstract: A method of making individual sealing members for containers including the steps of conveying a sheet of material in a travel direction relative to a die cutter to bring a portion of the sheet into alignment with the die cutter, then moving the die cutter into engagement with the sheet and cutting a plurality of sealing members from the sheet. The cutter comprises a plurality of cutting surfaces shaped and arranged for cutting a pattern of sealing members from the sheet, each of the sealing members comprising a base portion and first and second extending tabs. The pattern includes positioning the sealing members so that one of the extending tabs of a first sealing member extends into a space between the base portion of a second sealing member and the base portion of a third sealing member. The method then includes separating the sealing members from the sheet of material.

Abstract: Described are multilayer packaging materials and packaged dough products comprising a dough composition in multilayer flexible package materials, the multilayer materials comprising a sealant layer, a scavenger layer, and a barrier layer.
