  • Patent number: 4842906
    Abstract: A packing laminate for the manufacture of packing containers for liquid contents, including an inner layer (5) of fibrous material with outer layers (6) and (7) of liquid-tight material and a color layer (8) with the object of creating a decoration or similar identification marking on the finished container. The color layer (8) is hardened through electron irradiation and in order to protect the inner layer (5) from the effect of this irradiation the laminate comprises a layer (14) applied between the inner layer (5) and the color carrying plastic layer of a material capable of absorbing electrons during the irradiation.

  • Patent number: 4835025
    Abstract: A laminate providing an effective barrier to the migration of essential oils and/or flavorings, such as d-limonene and for the retention of Vitamin C, is provided comprising from the outer surface to the inner surface, a paperboard substrate, a web of nylon directly coated thereon, a web of Surlyn overlying and in contact with said nylon web and a web of olefin overlying and in contact with said Surlyn web. Preferably the paperboard substrate is also coated on the external surface thereof with a web of heat sealable polymer. Containers constructed from such laminates are especially useful as fruit juice containers which enable significant flavor and Vitamin C retention in the liquid i.e., fruit juice contained therein over the normal shelf life of the product.

  • Patent number: 4806398
    Abstract: A laminated web is composed of a paper substrate having a layer of oriented polyethylene terephthalate film bonded to one surface and a layer of polyolefinic resin covering its second surface. The film presents an exposed surface having the known property of being heat sealable to itself, but is not heat sealable to polyolefinic resins. The web can be used successfully in the production of end products, such as containers, that include seams produced by employing flame heat sealing techniques. Flame activation of the sealed surfaces permits heat sealing of opposite surfaces of the web to one another without use of an adhesive. Containers produced by the use of this laminate evidence high retention of volatile materials and flavor oils commonly lost during storage of food products within containers made from paper laminates.
