Abstract: A sustainable barrier board comprising: a cellulosic board substrate having a first major side and a second major side; a hydrophobic substance impregnated into the cellulosic board substrate; a first biopolymer barrier film on the first major side of the cellulosic board substrate; and a first biopolymer heat sealable coating coupling the first biopolymer barrier layer with the first major side of the cellulosic board substrate.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a dual ovenable, repulpable coated cellulosic board for forming food containers includes: coating an aqueous-based acrylic polymer blend barrier basecoat on a first major side of a cellulosic board substrate; and coating an aqueous-based acrylic polymer blend barrier topcoat on the aqueous-based acrylic polymer blend barrier basecoat, wherein an oleophobicity of the aqueous-based acrylic polymer blend barrier basecoat is higher than an oleophobicity of the aqueous-based acrylic polymer blend barrier topcoat.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a thermoformable dual ovenable coated cellulosic board includes coating an aqueous-based polyester acrylate copolymer dispersion basecoat on a first major side of a cellulosic board substrate and coating an aqueous-based polyester acrylate copolymer dispersion barrier topcoat on the aqueous-based polyester acrylate copolymer dispersion basecoat.

Abstract: A high barrier paperboard includes a paperboard substrate having a first major side and a second major side, at least one ethylene-vinyl alcohol layer on the first major side of the paperboard substrate, and at least one nucleated polyethylene layer on the first major side of the paperboard substrate.

Abstract: A thermal insulation panel includes an encasement and an insulative fiber core. The encasement includes a first encasement layer forming a first major surface of the panel and a second encasement layer forming a second major surface of the panel. The insulative fiber core is positioned between the first encasement layer and the second encasement layer.

Abstract: A coated paperboard including a single-ply paperboard substrate having a first major side and a second major side, and having an internal sizing agent incorporated therein, and a barrier coating on the first major side of the single-ply paperboard substrate, the barrier coating having an elastic modulus of at least 1.5 GPa.

Abstract: A reinforced paperboard tray includes a coated paperboard in the form of a bottom wall, a side wall extending upwardly around the bottom wall, and a curved flange extending outwardly around the side wall. The coated paperboard includes a single-ply paperboard substrate having a first major side and a second major side, the first major side corresponding to an upper side of the bottom wall, and a barrier coating on the first major side of the single-ply paperboard substrate. A paperboard reinforcement is attached to the curved flange.

Abstract: A packaging blank can include a paper base, and a coating disposed on and/or within the paper base. The coating can include wax and at least some calcium carbonate. The paper base can be corrugated paper board, for example. The wax can be or include paraffin wax, or any other suitable wax or substance that performs similarly to wax (e.g., for moisture proofing) and can be mixed with calcium carbonate.

Abstract: A carton (90) has a two part handle structure (H). The two part handle structure includes: a first integrally formed part including two arcuate slots (40, 42) spaced by a gripping portion (50); and a second reinforcing part including a reinforcing member (60) attached to at least the gripping portion of the first integrally formed part of the handle. The reinforcing member is pre-cut such that the profile of the reinforcing member includes at least one curved section that is not aligned with a perimeter of at least one of said two arcuate slots. The reinforcing member is formed from material that is separate from the material from which the first integrally formed part of the handle is formed.

Abstract: A package for hand-held frozen ice cream cones comprising a rolled, cone-shaped polymer film sleeve. The package is made from at least one layer of polymer film, and is sealed along a side wall. The package has a tip at a first end and may be open or sealed at a second end, and if sealed, may include a lid.
