Packaging film for bags and pouches that has improved anti-blocking properties to prevent sticking and clogging. The film has one surface with a roughness of 1-10 microns due to blending iron powder into the propylene resin. This roughness reduces friction and prevents sticking compared to smooth surfaces. The iron powder also absorbs oxygen to improve barrier properties. The rough surface can be formed by blending iron powder into the resin at 1-40% mass.

Packaging film with improved anti-blocking properties for preventing sticking and clogging of filled pouches. The film has at least one surface with a roughness in the range of 1.0 to 10 μm. This roughness is achieved by blending iron powder into the propylene-based resin layer forming that surface. The iron powder not only improves anti-blocking but also provides oxygen barrier properties. Blending iron powder into the resin layer forms a rough surface with a small friction coefficient that prevents sticking.

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.

Packaging structure, navigation system, and method to improve packaging efficiency and reliability for electronic devices. The packaging uses a unique design with round protrusions on the outside of the packaging materials that contact the work surface. When placed on the device, the round protrusions prevent full contact and allow adjustment. Pressing the connecting portion forces the device into the packaging. This allows easy positioning of the device in the packaging without full contact initially. The round protrusions act as fulcrums.

A sustainable packaging method that replaces plastic bubble wrap with paper-based packaging articles that have similar cushioning properties. The method involves continuously supplying Kraft paper with a minimum machine direction stretch of 5% at temperatures between 10-40°C. The paper is plastically deformed to form a structured layer with embossments or flutes. This layer is then joined with a flat cover layer to create a compound layer that forms the packaging article. The paper-based packaging has a similar cushioning effect as bubble wrap but without requiring high temperatures or moisture for deformation. The packaging can be formed into envelopes, boxes, etc.

A packaging method using corrugated cardboard that allows easy and efficient wrapping and sealing of objects without adhesives. The method involves cutting the corrugated cardboard into strips with irregularities, winding them around the object, and sealing the ends. The irregularities provide a non-flat surface that contacts the object for cushioning. The strips are cut to wrap around the object's width and height. The ends are sealed by folding and sealing with incisions to form a structure that surrounds the object. This eliminates the need for separate boxes and adhesives while protecting the object.

Thinner plastic packaging material like shopping bags with improved opening ease. The bags have embossed and flat areas on the film. The embossed areas have irregularities. The flat areas are either non-embossed or have smaller irregularities. This creates friction differences that make it easier to open the bags compared to uniformly embossed bags. The flat areas are strategically placed near the openings to communicate with them. This allows overlapping film layers to separate when opening.

A roll assembly and method for embossing barrier paper without destroying the barrier properties, for use in cigarette inner liners. The roll assembly has two embossing rolls with elements that form a nip. The embossing rolls emboss the barrier paper without damaging the barrier layer. This allows embossing decorative patterns on the inner liners without compromising their sealing ability. It provides a non-destructive embossing process for barrier papers, especially for use in cigarette packaging inner liners.

Flexible container for dispensing nonwoven articles like wipes and tissues that maintains its shape as items are removed. The container has geometric deformations on the sidewalls formed after manufacture. These deformations, like ridges or bumps, increase rigidity compared to plain walls. When items are removed, the deformations prevent sidewall collapse and maintain container volume. The deformations are sized relative to wall height.

Contact lens packaging with reduced risk of lens damage during transportation and handling. The packaging has a segment of the lid stock that forms an enclosure with the blister packaging and cavity containing the lens and saline. The segment's interior surface has relief elements, like indentations or domes, with the rest being flat. This allows air gaps between the saline and lid surface to prevent contact and leaks during transport and opening. The relief elements are formed by testing the sealed package for leaks using a stamp with matching contours.

Laminate for paper pouches with a surface resin layer containing protruding particles to prevent slipping during manufacturing and stacking. The laminate has a paper base layer, a sealant layer, and a surface resin layer with particles. The particles protrude from the surface. This prevents paper pouches made from the laminate from sliding against each other during manufacturing and stacking, reducing process issues.

Method for handling cigarette packaging material to enable easy opening without weakening the packaging. The method involves embossing the packaging material itself as an opening aid, rather than adding separate features. The embossed lines are formed by pressing into the material to weaken it. This allows the pack to be opened without compromising the seal or integrity of the rest of the packaging.

Method for handling cigarette pack wrapping material that provides easy opening without compromising pack integrity. The method involves forming weakening lines in the pack material by embossing. This allows the pack to be opened by pressing the embossed areas without tearing the pack. The embossed weakening lines are formed during pack production and serve as opening aids. The packs are made by pulling a continuous roll of material, applying adhesive, forming blanks, and embossing the weakening lines. This enables easy pack opening without puncturing or tearing the pack. The embossed weakening lines provide visual cues for consumers to know where to press.
