Shipping packaging with improved impact protection and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional foam-filled envelopes. The packaging has walls with embossed ridges on one side that correspond to depressions on the other side. The ridges join to a smooth sheet, holding them together. This creates a cushioning effect when objects inside impact the walls. The embossing and joining avoids using foam or plastic. The embossed paper provides impact protection while the smooth sheet covers the embossed side during shipping.

A plastic-free packaging material with cushioning properties similar to bubble wrap, produced using a low-energy method. The packaging material has a structural layer with embossed areas made by permanently plastically deforming a base material like kraft paper. The embossed areas provide cushioning without adding thickness like bubble wrap. The paper is formed at room temperature to avoid energy-intensive processes. The embossed areas allow plastic deformation without tearing, providing dimensional stability.

A multi-layer cover film for electronics packaging with improved adhesion and peel strength. The film has a substrate layer, an adhesive layer, a middle layer, and a heat-sealable layer. The middle layer has knobs that overlap the heat-sealable layer when the film is sealed. This creates a three-dimensional texture that improves adhesion and peel strength compared to a flat surface. The knobs prevent separation between the layers when peeling off the cover film.

Packaging bottles with embedded letters to provide product details directly on the bottle instead of labels that can't be recycled. The letters are created using embossing, carving, laser, sandblasting, or corrosion techniques to form raised, indented, or etched letters on the bottle surface. This allows product information like ingredients, allergens, and warnings to be permanently molded into the packaging instead of added as separate labels. The embedded letters can be read easily and remain intact when the bottle is recycled.

A pharmaceutical packaging box with visual effects to enhance the user experience and make the product more appealing. The packaging box has design features like embossing, debossing, foil stamping, holographic printing, or other techniques that create tactile or visual effects on the surface of the box. These effects can be used to convey product information, branding, or other messages to the user. The visual effects could be simple patterns, intricate designs, or anything that catches the eye and adds an element of interest to the otherwise plain pharmaceutical packaging. The goal is to create a packaging box that stands out and provides an engaging user experience beyond just the medication inside.

Packaging machine for producing blister bags with tactile markings for visually impaired people. The machine shapes the packaging material web to form blisters for receiving small items, then joins the web longitudinally to create tubes. Embossing devices can be moved laterally to create raised ridges in the joined overlapping areas. This allows blind people to feel and distinguish between blisters when taking medications.

A can packaging with a distinctive outer texture that allows easy filling and emptying while avoiding issues like residue buildup. The texture is created by projections on the die wall during reverse extrusion. The projections form depressions on the outer wall of the can blank. The height of the projections is limited to 95% of the die wall height. This prevents depressions on the shoulder and rolled edge areas that could interfere with sealing. The texture on the rest of the can provides a haptic difference.

A pouch with a rough texture on one side and sequential display on the other side to prevent counterfeiting. The pouch has a large number of protrusions on one side and characters or patterns on the other side that appear sequentially when viewed from the other side. This creates a tactile difference and visual sequential display to prevent counterfeiting when held and inspected. The pouch is made by laminating a film or aluminum foil with fusing material at the periphery.

Packaging box with embossed separation feature to make it easier to remove tape and labels without tools. The box has embossed areas on the sides or bottom that create gaps between the tape or label and the box surface. This allows initial separation when peeling off the tape or label. The embossed areas can have shapes like triangles, circles, rows, or diagonal lines.

Joining packaging layers made of cellulose fiber materials like paper without adhesives using embossing to create a bond. The embossing tool partially embosses the surfaces of the layers before connecting them. The embossing creates an interlocking structure that holds the layers together when joined. The embossing time is less than 2.5 seconds. This allows joining cellulose fiber packaging materials without adhesives by embossing the surfaces before connecting them. The embossing creates an interlocking structure that holds the layers together when joined.

Flexible packaging with embossed Braille for the visually impaired that has high-quality, permanent embossments. The packaging is made of thin films like PE, PP, PET, or BOPP that are prone to deformation during embossing. To overcome this, the embossing points are optimized in size and spacing to prevent deformation. The embossed Braille has specific dimensions like peak radius, base diameter, and length. By optimizing these dimensions, the embossments maintain their shape and spacing on the flexible packaging.

An easy-to-tear flexible packaging substrate that can be started and torn by hand without the need for cutting tools. The substrate is a polymeric film or laminate with non-through micro-indentations on one or both surfaces. The indentations are embossed up to a specific depth without piercing through the film. This provides an easy-to-tear capability without compromising barrier properties. The indentations are created using roll-to-roll processing to treat the surfaces before coating or lamination steps.

System for applying Braille to flexible packaging to enable visually impaired people to identify, compare, and read product information independently. The system is integrated into existing packaging machines and applies Braille during the final finishing stages. It uses flywheels, axles, pneumatic cylinders, and structures to move a Braille tool across the packaging surface. This allows Braille embossing on flexible materials like plastic that is not possible with conventional printing methods. The Braille system is interconnected to the packaging machine and follows the production process in line for faster application.

Apparatus for embossing tactile language onto flexible packaging for the visually impaired that can create embossments with high permanence and quality. The apparatus synchronizes with the packaging machine and uses a pneumatic piston to compress the flexible film between male and female molds coated with rubber. Sensors on the machine send a signal to lower the piston when the machine stops, allowing the embossing to occur. This prevents tearing or deformation of the embossments during packaging processes.
