Abstract: A packaging with anti-microbial properties has a substrate, and a coating having a first polymeric component selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic resins, polyvinyl butyral polyurethanes, polyesters, polyvinyl alcohols, cellulosic polymers and mixtures thereof, a low adhesion, slip or release agent selected from the group consisting of polysiloxanes, carnauba wax, lecithin, fatty acids, fatty acid amides, fatty acid esters, magnesium stearate, vegetable oils, and mixtures thereof, an anti-microbial agent, and optionally one or more functional agents selected from the group consisting of a defoaming agent, a coalescing agent, a wetting agent, a cross-linking agent, and mixtures thereof. The coating has from 50 to 99.49% by weight of the first polymeric component, from 0.5 to 35% by weight of the low adhesion, slip or release agent, from 0.

Abstract: A packaging material with a multi-layer structure including at least one layer for the release of an active agent with anti-microbial and/or anti-fungal activity, including the active agent in a biodegradable material, which allows its release in gas or vapor state and at least one coating layer including nanocellulose. The packaging material may include a structural substrate selected from cellulose, starch-based material, polyhydroxyalkanoate or a polybutylene succinate polymer. The packaging material may further include a coating layer with oxygen scavenging properties and a gas-barrier layer.

Abstract: Packaging material for food products with antimicrobial and antifungal properties including: a) a core layer of polymeric material including at least one active substance having antimicrobial and/or antifungal activity dispersed in the polymer matrix, b) a coating applied to a side of the core layer obtained from a lacquer or a polymeric paint including nano-fillers of a phyllosilicate or hydrotalcite, c) a coating for the release of an active antimicrobial or antifungal agent comprising encapsulated ethanol and a polymeric component selected from chitosan grafted with polyethylene glycol or cyclodextrin, a mixture of chitosan and polyethylene glycol and a polymer or mixture of polymers for printable paint applied to other side of the base layer; optionally the material further comprises: d) a coating with oxygen scavenger activity applied to the coating layer c) and/or a further coating e) including active substances of type b).

Abstract: A process for making a sheet for packaging a foodstuff product, in particular a confectionery product, comprising the steps of: providing a sheet material (4; 101) having a first side and a second side opposite to one another; and providing on said first side a surface structure having an array of formations in relief (2). The process is characterized in that the step of providing said array of formations in relief envisages application on said first side of a discontinuous coating (2; 106) and/or a coating having a variable thickness that forms said array of formations in relief.
