  • Publication number: 20160128341
    Abstract: A laminated baking mold material includes a food contact layer and an exterior layer. The food contact layer serves as a functional layer, and may include an aluminum foil. The exterior layer may include a paper layer, and may be printed. The laminated baking mold may be formed into self-supporting baking molds or pan-supported baking liners. The functional barrier prevents migration of ink from an exterior surface of the baking mold or liner into a baked product or the permeation of grease or moisture from the baked product to the exterior layer preventing a degradation of a printing thereon and allowing for deep, opaque, and vibrant colors and patterns.

  • Patent number: 7000520
    Abstract: A slide cutter assembly for use in sectioning lengths of a packaging material drawn from a roll. The device includes an elongated and shaped body. A first roll supporting portion is located at a first end of said body and a second roll supporting portion is likewise located at a second end of the body. A cutter assembly extends from a selected lengthwise extending edge of the body and upon which an unwound length of the packaging material comes into contact. The cutter assembly incorporates a traversable blade for sectioning from the roll the length of packaging material. The roll of packaging typically comes in a generally elongated and three-dimensional shaped packaging, the cutter device being constructed so that it may be supported within an interior defined by the packaging and upon first mounting the roll between the first and second roll supporting portions.
