Patent number: 11866220Abstract: An object can be heat-shrinkable packaged by placing an object inside of heat-shrinkable film, sealing the heat-shrinkable film around the object to form a heat-shrinkable package, coupling a first portion of a label to the heat-shrinkable package, and causing the heat-shrinkable film to shrink into heat-shrunk film and the heat-shrinkable package to form into a heat-shrunk package. The label includes an identifier on a second portion of the label. The label remains coupled to the heat-shrunk film after the heat-shrinkable film is caused to shrink into heat-shrunk film. The second portion of the label remains substantially undeformed after the heat-shrinkable film is caused to shrink into heat-shrunk film.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Sealed Air Corporation (US)Inventors: Russell T. Christman, Donald Durant, David Cenedella, Michael Anthony Kalinowski, Thomas P. Orsini, Steven E. Maston

Patent number: 11780617Abstract: A system for enhanced conveying of flexible packages includes a packaging system, an inflation system, and a conveying system. The packaging system is configured to place an object in a flexible package. The inflation system is configured to insert a gas into the flexible package. The packaging system is further configured to seal an edge of the flexible package in an inflated state with the object and the inserted gas inside the flexible package. The conveying system is configured to convey the flexible package while the flexible package is substantially in the inflated state. The flexible package is configured to permit gas to escape the flexible package at a controlled flow rate such that the flexible package remains substantially in the inflated state while being conveyed by the conveying system and the flexible package transitions to being substantially in a deflated state after being conveyed by the conveying system.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Sealed Air Corporation (US)Inventors: Thomas Orsini, Mark Garceau, David Cenedella, Robert Simonelli, Michael Kalinowski, Kyle Brown, John Gilbert
