Patent number: 6893529Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of producing a well-integrated laminate material, for example a packaging laminate, in which method a first web (10a) of plastic, and a second web (10b) of plastic are brought together and permanently united to one another by the simultaneous application of heat and pressure, for the formation of the laminate material (10). In order to improve the adhesion between the webs (10a and 10b), these are subjected to a surface-activating treatment of non-chemical nature, preferably a corona treatment, prior to the uniting of the webs, whereby good adhesion and bonding between the webs is achieved without the employment of interjacent chemical adhesives.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1996Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.A.Inventors: Peter Öhman, Rolf Lasson

Patent number: 6884206Abstract: A method of producing a packaging laminate (10) in which a web is provided with through-going holes (2) which are covered on one side with a first outer layer (3) on the one side of the web and with a second outer layer (4) on the other side of the web in such a manner that the first and second outer layers (3 and 4) are permanently sealed to one another within the regions of the opening contour of the through-going holes. In order to ensure the permanent seal between the two outer layers (3 and 4), the web is subjected, after application of the first outer layer but prior to application of the second outer layer, to so-called flame-treating whereby accessible parts of the first outer layer within the regions of the through-going holes (2) are activated or polarized by means of one or more gas flames directed at the other side of the web.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2001Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.A.Inventors: Rolf Lasson, Nils Toft

Patent number: 6783823Abstract: A multilayer structure intended for a packaging laminate with embossed appearance comprises a base layer and flexible, deformable layer disposed in planar relationship adjacent one another, with both layers adhesively bonded to one another along part surfaces of the total contact surface of each respective layer in a predetermined pattern. The flexible layer may be permanently deformed along the part surface or part surfaces that are in abutment against, but not adheringly bonded to the base layer, so that it substantially deviates from being in abutment against the base layer. Methods of producing a multilayer structure and a packaging laminate, as well as packaging containers produced from the packaging laminate are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2002Date of Patent: August 31, 2004Assignee: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.A.Inventors: Rolf Lasson, Karl-Håkan Sandell

A web of paper or paperboard is coated on its one side with liquid tight coating of plastic and, on its other side, with a metal foil which serves as oxygen gas barrier and which is bonded to the paper or paperboard layer by an adjacent adhesive layer. The coated web or packaging blank is thereafter transported further to a packing and filling machine where the web is provided with emptying-preparatory holes before being reformed into finished packages in a conventional manner.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2002Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: Tetra Laval Holdings & Finance S.A.Inventor: Rolf Lasson
