Abstract: A bag can include walls formed of a material having multiple layers, which can include a paper layer located between an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer can be formed from a nylon material and the inner layer can be formed from a polyolefin material, and the bag can exhibit grease-resistant properties. The bag can be formed into a variety of configurations, such as a sewn-open-mouth configuration in which a stitching element extends through a wall of the bag or a variety of pinch-type closure configurations.

Abstract: Microwavable bags can include one or more seals formed by a cold seal adhesive. The one or more seals can prevent egress of liquid oil from the bag.

Abstract: A bag can include walls formed of a material having multiple layers, which can include two polyolefin layers and a paper layer. The bag can be formed into a sewn-open-mouth configuration in which a stitching element extends through a wall of the bag. The bag can include a grease-resistant seal that substantially prevents grease from escaping from the bag via an opening in the wall through which the stitching element extends.

Abstract: An embodiment of a bag includes a bag body having opposing bag ends and an inner face of an outer ply abuttingly adhered to an outer face of an inner ply. The bag can include the outer ply having an inner face of a grease-resistant film abuttingly adhered to an outer face of a paper layer. The bag can further include the inner ply having a film of one or more layers having a grease-resistant material adapted to advantageously closingly seal at least one of the bag ends. Embodiments of other bags, bag closures, and methods of assembly, positioning, using, and constructing a bag are also provided.

Abstract: An embodiment of a bag includes a bag body having opposing bag ends and an inner face of an outer ply abuttingly adhered to an outer face of an inner ply with an adhesive. The bag can also include the outer ply having an inner face of a grease-resistant film abuttingly adhered to an outer face of a paper layer with an adhesive. The bag can further include the inner ply having a film of one or more layers having a grease-resistant material adapted to advantageously closingly seal at least one of the bag ends. An adhesive advantageously adheres a portion of a bag end to another portion of the same bag end to closingly seal the bag end. Embodiments of other bags, bag closures, and methods of assembly, positioning, using, and constructing a bag are also provided.

Abstract: An embodiment of a bag includes a bag body having pair of opposing bag ends and an inner face of an outer ply abuttingly adhered to an outer face of an inner ply. The bag can include the outer ply having an inner face of a grease-resistant film abuttingly adhered to an outer face of a paper layer. The bag can further include the inner ply having a multi-layer film having a grease-resistant material positioned between a pair of heat-sealable films adapted to advantageously melt and closingly seal at least one of the bag ends responsive to heat being applied thereto. Embodiments of methods of assembly, positioning, using, and constructing a bag are also provided.

Abstract: A microwave cooking package and combination of a food product and microwave cooking package. The cooking package intimately contacts and substantially surrounds the food product as the food product is cooked in a microwave oven. The package provides for venting of moisture in specific regions of the food product and distribution of heat across the extent of the food product to facilitate cooking of the entire food product and more uniform browning and crisping of the outer surface of the food product. The cooking package is preferably used for cooking a dough enclosed food product in a microwave oven. The package of the present invention allows the food product to be uniformly cooked to a golden brown color with a crispy, crunchy consistency.

Abstract: A bag having a tamper evident closure and methods of forming the same are provided. The bag has a tube body with a front wall and a back wall positioned between a first end and a second end. A back flap extension member connects to and extends outwardly from the second end of the back wall. A primer material is positioned on the back flap extension member and an adhesive material is placed on the back flap extension member that folds over to overlie and contact the primer material. The back flap extension member adheres to the front flap extension member and portions of the front wall to close the second end. When the back flap extension member liftingly separates from the front wall, at least one of the back flap extension member and the front wall tears indicating evidence of tampering.

Abstract: A non-fluorocarbon oil and grease barrier packaging for storing materials, particularly products that need oil and grease resistant characteristics and are used in high temperature applications. The barrier packaging does not contain fluorocarbons, which improves the environmental rating of the oil and grease barrier packaging. The packaging is made by applying a starch based coating having a solids content in a range about 10% to about 35% to a substrate and forming the package from the substrate. The starch based coating preferably contains a starch derivative, a flexibility enhancing agent, a rheological agent, and a scorch resistant agent. When the package is heated, no fluorocarbons are emitted as result of heating the package.
