Abstract: Layers of a recyclable packaging material can include a first layer of, or including, oriented polyethylene; a second layer of, or including, oriented polyethylene; a tie layer disposed between and joining the first layer and the second layer to one another; an ink layer printed onto at least a portion of at least one of an inner surface of the first layer or an outer surface of the first layer; a metallic barrier layer on at least a portion of at least one of the first and second layers; and an adhesive layer on at least a portion of an outer surface of the second layer and at least partially defining an exterior surface of the recyclable packaging material. A cold seal release coating can be on at least a portion of at least one of the ink layer or the outer surface of the first layer.

Abstract: A packaging material can include an oriented polymer film layer, a barrier layer, a primer layer, an ink layer, a cold seal adhesive layer, and a cold seal release layer. The polymer film layer has opposite first and second sides. The barrier layer can be on the first side of the polymer film layer. The primer layer can be on the barrier layer such that the barrier layer is positioned between the primer layer and the polymer film layer. The ink layer can be on the primer layer. The cold seal release layer can be on the ink layer such that the ink layer is positioned between the cold seal release layer and the primer layer. The cold seal adhesive layer can be on the second side of the polymer film layer. The packaging material can be used as a one-ply cold seal packaging material.
