Abstract: A recyclable corrugated board can include a first outer layer, a second outer layer, and a non-wicking medium attached to and disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The non-wicking medium is not impregnated and is not coated. The non-wicking medium can be corrugated paper, for example.

Abstract: A blank for forming an insulated carton including a front panel hingedly attached to a first side panel, the first side panel hingedly attached to a rear panel, the rear panel hingedly attached to a second side panel along a longitudinal axis of a blank, wherein each panel includes a central portion disposed between and hingedly attached to at least one flap arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis an end tab hingedly attached to the central portion of the second side panel, wherein the blank defines an interior space of a carton when folded along each hinged attachment and at least one surface of the blank includes a reflective barrier which has a higher thermal radiation reflectance than an under-lying layer for energy-insulating the interior space of the carton.

Abstract: A method for forming a heat-reflective blank includes laminating at least one thermal film sheet at a predetermined position on a first linerboard sheet such that a laminated sheet is formed, and feeding the laminated sheet into a corrugating machine. The method further includes coupling the laminated sheet to a corrugated medium sheet and a second linerboard sheet such that a corrugated sheet is formed. The corrugated medium sheet is between the first linerboard sheet and the second linerboard sheet and the thermal film sheet is positioned on an outer surface of the corrugated sheet.

Abstract: A food packaging system includes a packaging insert that is insertable into the base portion of a food container. The packaging insert includes a support member and at least one treated layer disposed on either the upper or lower surface of the support member. The support member is formed from a sheet of corrugated material. The packaging insert is configured to provide one or more desired properties to the food container.

Abstract: A surgical cast for use in treating bone fractures, especially fractures with pins that extend to a pin-site area, includes an opening at the pin-site area and a window that aligns with the opening. The window has a surface that projects away from the pin-site and defines a clearance space between the cast and the pin-site to avoid any rubbing of the pins by the cast. The window also furnishes clearance at the pin-site for terminal connections to a bone growth stimulator.
