  • Process for encapsulation of cellulose based substrates using electromagnetic radiation heating
    Patent number: 7384497
    Abstract: A method for encapsulating a cellulose based substrate with polymeric film involves raising the temperature of the respective films using an electromagnetic radiation source and providing a pressure differential between an environment defined between the films and an environment external to the films so that conformance of the films to the cellulose based substrates is promoted. The cellulose based substrate is entirely encapsulated by the plastic films and the films are sealed around the peripheral edges of the cellulose based substrate as well as edges that are defined by slots and cutouts.
    Type: Grant

  • Process for encapsulation of cellulose based substrate using non-electromagnetic heating
    Patent number: 7247216
    Abstract: A method for encapsulating a cellulose based substrate with polymeric films involves heating the respective films using a non-electrogmagnetic radiation heating source and providing a pressure differential between an environment defined between the films and an environment external to the films so that conformance of the film to the cellulose based substrate is promoted. The cellulose based substrate is entirely encapsulated by the films and the films are sealed around the peripheral edges of the container as well as edges that are defined adjacent slots and cutouts.
