Abstract: A reduced-foil laminate, system, and method of making a reduced-foil laminate can include a non-metal core layer, a first outer metal layer, and a second outer metal layer having the first outer layer and second outer layer being laminated to the core layer on opposite sides of the core layer. The laminate can be symmetrical and asymmetrical. The laminate can be die-cuttable, and/or heat sealable. Embodiments of the laminate can remain substantially free from curling and may be readily denested during package processing.

Abstract: Disclosed are peelable multi-layered structures and methods and compositions for making such structures. In one example embodiment, the structure may include a structural layer and a peelable breakaway layer that functions by cohesive failure. The composition used for the breakaway layer may be made of a first matrix into which is blended a second composition that is dispersed the matrix. For example, a matrix of a first polymer may be blended with a second polymer that is at least partly incompatible with the first polymer, and at least 10% of an inert filler.

Abstract: Push-through blister backing laminates providing a laser-scored outer layer and a metal substrate layer, and methods of making such laminates are disclosed. The laser-scored blister backing may allow for the use of a reduced amount of metal substrate as compared to blister backing that is not laser scored. The laser-scored push-through blister backing laminate may include a first, laser-scored outer layer, and a push-through metal layer such that the laminate functions as a push-through blister backing when it is applied to a blister film.
