Patent number: 11660848Abstract: A compostable laminate for food wrap and method for making same. The wrap can include a first layer of paper material, a second layer of paper material, and a series of coatings between the paper materials. The coatings include a first flood coating having water and/or barrier properties, a second flood coating having water and/or oil barrier properties, and a third coating that only partially covers the second flood coating. None of the first, second and third coatings comprise a thermoplastic or polyolefin, and are made substantially from one or more biodegradable and/or compostable materials.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: GPCP IP Holdings LLCInventors: Gary Harold Knauf, Joseph Pounder

Patent number: 10731296Abstract: A paperboard, sidewall, and disposable cup made from about 70 wt % to about 100 wt % of recycled fiber. The paperboard can include about 70 wt % to about 100 wt % of recycled fiber, based on the total weight of the fiber. The paperboard can have a board thickness of about 14 mil to about 20 mil, an apparent density of less than about 11.5 lbs/3,000 ft2/mil, a CD Taber Stiffness of about 50 g*cm or more, and a MD/CD Taber Stiffness ratio of 1.0 to 3.0, and can be used to make recycled cups having sufficient strength and rigidity properties that rival cups made from virgin fibers.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: GPCP IP Holdings LLCInventors: Gary Harold Knauf, Joseph Pounder

Patent number: 10232580Abstract: Methods for securing a shrinkable film to a paperboard substrate and methods for making paperboard containers therefrom. In one or more embodiments, a band of adhesive may be applied about a perimeter of a paperboard substrate having a first edge and a second edge opposed to one another and a third edge and a fourth edge opposed to one another. The band of adhesive may at least partially surround a first area that is substantially free from the adhesive. A second area that may be substantially free from the adhesive may be located between the third edge and the first area. The first area and the second area may be separated by the band of adhesive. A shrinkable film may be secured to the paperboard substrate with the adhesive to produce a paperboard blank. The third edge and the fourth edge may be overlapped to form a sidewall. A bottom panel may be secured to the sidewall at or adjacent the second edge. The first edge may be curled to form a brim.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: GPCP IP Holdings LLCInventors: Gary Harold Knauf, Cheryl Ann Mocadlo
