With the object of achieving a thin, stiff and accordingly advantageous foil, the packaging foil has been formed by joining together and sealing sheets containing one barrier layer, one side of said sheets having been covered with a layer of plastic intended for the protection of the inner layer and outer layer and the other side with a layer of plastic intended for separating and insulating the barrier layers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for packaging and a method of using double-faced adhesive tape. A strip of waxed or otherwise non-stick material is folded to form a pocket in which a piece of double-faced tape having a hold tab at one end thereof is inserted such that the hold tab projects from without the pocket. To apply the tape, the wrapper and projecting hold tab are positioned between two pieces of material that are intended to be taped together. A pull tab, which is connected to the wrapper, extends out from between the two pieces of material. Pressure is then applied to the material surrounding the hold tab in order to retain the hold tab in position, and the pull tab is pulled away from the hold tab and tape. As a result, the non-stick wrapper is removed from the tape, leaving the double-faced tape and the attached hold tab in position between the two materials that are being taped together.
