STARCH-BASED PADDING FOR ROLL STOCK AND PADDED MAILERS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240018725 titled 'STARCH-BASED PADDING FOR ROLL STOCK AND PADDED MAILERS AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes padded materials and the corresponding systems and methods for forming them. The padded material consists of two webs of paper-based material, each with a first and second surface. A layer of heat seal coating is applied to the second surface of each web. A starch-based padding is sandwiched between the two webs, positioned between the first surface of the first web and the second layer of heat seal coating on the second surface of the second web. The padded material can be formed into a roll stock for use in automated packaging machines, such as automated mailer formation devices.

  • Padded materials and methods for forming them are described.
  • The padded material consists of two webs of paper-based material.
  • Each web has a first and second surface.
  • A layer of heat seal coating is applied to the second surface of each web.
  • A starch-based padding is sandwiched between the two webs.
  • The starch-based padding is positioned between the first surface of the first web and the second layer of heat seal coating on the second surface of the second web.
  • The padded material can be formed into a roll stock.
  • The roll stock can be used in automated packaging machines, such as automated mailer formation devices.
