Appl. No.:

10/305326

Inventors:

Stephen Stepanek - Amherst NH, US

International Classification:

B32B001/00
B32B005/00
B32B007/00

US Classification:

428/004000, 428/098000, 428/219000, 428/220000, 428/222000, 428/332000, 428/340000, 264/138000

Abstract:

A product comprising curly cued paper packaging material and a method for making said product are described. The method employs feeding a substantially continuous web of paper material having a weight of between 21 pound and 100 pounds per 3,000 square feet of paper under tension over at least one knife edge prior to slitting and cutting the paper web into desired widths and lengths. The results are a curly cue product that makes superb packing material for any number of delicate elements that need to be shipped and is also eminently useful for use in decorative packaging. The product described herein is easy to use, has considerably more packing value than other paper packing products and is environmentally safe.

Abstract:

A product comprising curly cued tissue paper packaging material and a method for making said product are described. The method employs feeding a substantially continuous web of tissue paper material having a weight of between 1 pound and 20 pounds per 3,000 square feet of tissue paper under tension over at least one knife edge prior to slitting and cutting the paper web into desired widths and lengths. The results are a curly cue product that makes superb packing material for any number of delicate elements that need to be shipped and is eminently useful in decorative packaging. The product described herein is easy to use, has considerably more packing value than other paper packing products and is environmentally safe.

Filed:

Jul 9, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/679349

Inventors:

Stephen B. Stepanek - Amherst NH

International Classification:

B32B 900

US Classification:

428195

Abstract:

A process for transferring a holographic image from a conventional polymeric support to a foil support is described in this invention. A host of images may be envisioned and since this image, on a foil support, may then be wound up in a roll, it can be used as a wrapping element for a host of applications such as in the candy and gum industry; wrapping foils; etc. This element and process permits the wide spread use of such holographic images, such use not being available until now.

Stephen B. Stepanek - Amherst NH

Assignee:

Hampshire Holographic Manufacturing Corp. - Milford NH

International Classification:

B44C1/165

US Classification:

156233

Abstract:

A holographic image that has been transferred from a conventional polymeric support to an aluminum stock element is described in this invention. A host of images may be envisioned and since this image, on a aluminum stock element, may then be wound up in a roll, it can be used in the manufacture of cans, containers and the like. The aluminum stock element containing the holographic image may also be used in sheets for advertisements and the like. This element and process permits the wide spread use of such holographic images, such use not being available until now.
