Appl. No.:

10/164396

Inventors:

William McDonnell - Elmhurst IL, US
Mary McKillip - Lemont IL, US

International Classification:

D21H019/36
D21H021/16
D21H027/30

US Classification:

162/123000, 162/135000, 162/128000, 162/158000, 162/181100, 162/181400, 428/211100, 428/195100

Abstract:

A multiple-ply paperboard material having improved oil and grease resistance properties, and improved stain masking properties to minimize the appearance of oil and grease stains in the paperboard material, and a method for forming same. The multiple-ply paperboard includes a substantially paperboard substrate having at least two plies, including at least a top ply and a bottom ply formed of substantially paperboard material, a grease resistant coating, a pigment-based pre-coating and a pigment-based top coating. The grease resistant coating includes a fluorochemical component applied to the outer surface of the top ply and to the outer surface of the bottom ply to hinder the penetration and migration of grease and oil into said substantially paperboard substrate through both the top ply and the bottom ply. The pigment-based pre-coating is applied to the top ply over the grease resistant coating, while the top coating is applied over the pre-coating. The pre-coating and top coating both include an opacity enhancing component, such as titanium dioxide, to minimize the appearance of grease and oil stains in the paperboard material. A separate masking agent may also be coated onto the top ply, integrated into the grease resistant coating and/or added to at least one of the pigment based coatings to help mask grease and oil stains.

International Classification:

B65D 65/42
B65D 81/26

Abstract:

A blank for a package can include a substrate comprising a recyclable paper, the substrate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The blank can include one or more recyclable fluid resistant layers on the first side of the substrate configured to prevent water and/or oxygen from passing through to the substrate. The one or more recyclable fluid resistant layers can be configured to be an outside of the package. The blank can include a recyclable fluid permeable layer disposed on the second side and configured to allow a controlled amount of a fluid transmissibility and/or absorption by or through the fluid permeable layer.

B65D 5/56

Abstract:

A blank for forming an insulated carton including a front panel hingedly attached to a first side panel, the first side panel hingedly attached to a rear panel, the rear panel hingedly attached to a second side panel along a longitudinal axis of a blank, wherein each panel includes a central portion disposed between and hingedly attached to at least one flap arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis, an end tab hingedly attached to the central portion of the second side panel, and wherein the blank defines an interior space of a carton when folded along each hinged attachment and at least one surface of the blank includes a reflective barrier for energy-insulating the interior space of the carton.
