Abstract: A system for packaging a flat panel product includes a dispensing device for dispensing a length of inner protective packaging material, a folding table for wrapping the inner protective packaging material around the product and folding an outer protective packaging material around the product, and a binding device for binding the outer packaging material, inner packaging material, and product together, suspending the product relative to at least one of the walls of the sidewall and supporting the product laterally. A data entry device provides data related to the length of inner protective packaging material required, and this data is fed to a controller, which controls the dispensing device to provide an appropriate length of material. The data entry device can also provide shipping information, fed to a printer for printing a shipping label.

Abstract: A package for storing and shipping flat panel products includes a shock- absorbing inner protective material, a telescoping outer packaging material, adjustable to the size of the product being shipped, and an outer binder, such as a plastic banding material. The inner wrapping material is provided around a circumferential edge of the product and is secured in place. The outer protective packaging material is provided around the wrapped product, adjusted to the appropriate size, and is bound in place with a plastic banding material which is wrapped longitudinally and secures the lateral and longitudinal position of the product within the package. The telescoping package includes slots for receiving and retaining the plastic banding material in position.

Abstract: Highly roughened, precision engraved, patterned surface upon a substrate, preferably a polyolefin coated substrate, and processes for making the same. A chill roll is used to impart an engineered, highly structured surface upon the polyolefin coating of the substrate. The structured polyolefin coated substrates preferably have highly regular patterns, and those patterns may include either quadragravure, trihelical, or other regular, reproducible pattern.
