Abstract: Articles are described comprising a first substrate and a second substrate. At least one adhesive layer is disposed between the first and second substrates. The article further comprises a multilayer film within at least a portion of the adhesive layer(s). Also described is a method of disassembly comprising providing an adhesively bonded article as described herein; and separating the first substrate from the second substrate by delaminating the (e.g. multilayer) film. In other embodiments, adhesive articles (e.g. tape) are described comprising a (e.g. multilayer) film and methods of making adhesively bonded articles that comprise a (e.g. multilayer) film. Also described are methods of reworking, repairing, repurposing, or recycling an article, and articles.

Abstract: A method for processing at least one blank for forming a carrier for a plurality of containers, the method includes obtaining at least one blank having a central panel with plurality of container openings and at least one container retention tab extending into respective container openings of the plurality of container openings, loading the at least one blank into a blank infeed assembly, moving the at least one blank from the infeed assembly to a blank processing assembly, the blank processing assembly including a forming belt having a plurality of openings extending at least partially therethrough for being aligned with respective container openings of the plurality of containers openings of the at least one blank, and moving the at least one blank to a product engagement portion of the blank processing assembly such that the at least one blank is positioned for engagement with a group of containers.

Abstract: A method for processing at least one blank for forming a carrier for containers includes obtaining at least one blank including a central panel having plurality of container openings and at least one container retention tab extending into respective container openings of the plurality of container openings. The method further includes inserting the at least one blank into a blank infeed assembly, moving the at least one blank from the infeed assembly to a blank processing assembly, the blank processing assembly having a forming belt and a forming wheel, moving the at least one blank between the forming belt and the forming wheel, and moving the at least one blank to a product engagement portion of the blank processing assembly such that the at least one blank is positioned for engagement with a group of containers.

Abstract: A method of moving at least one container includes positioning at least one container at an upstream end of a system having at least one track assembly, a linear motor assembly, and at least one product engagement assembly, the at least one product engagement assembly having a shuttle member movably engaged with the linear motor assembly and the at least one track assembly, and an adapter assembly coupled to the shuttle member and comprising a product engagement member. The method further includes engaging the at least one container with the product engagement member, moving the at least one product engagement assembly at least partially along the linear motor assembly, and articulating the product engagement member relative to the shuttle member.
