Packaging Material with Indicium in Metallic Layer - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042733 titled 'Packaging Material with Indicium in Metallic Layer

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a packaging material that includes a laminate with first and second webs joined together. The first web has a metallic layer on a second layer, with the metallic layer positioned between the second layer and the second web. The laminate also includes indicium, which is defined in at least the metallic layer. The packaging material is designed so that the indicium is visible from one side but typically not visible from the other side. The indicium can be partially defined by holes in the metallic layer, and the laminate may include material of a different color than the metallic layer, which can be seen through the indicium.

Original Abstract Submitted

in a packaging material that is, or includes, a laminate, the laminate includes first and second webs that are joined to one another. the first web includes a metallic layer on a second layer. the metallic layer is positioned between the second layer and the second web. indicium is defined in at least the metallic layer. the packaging material is configured so that the indicium is visible from a first side of the packaging material, and the indicium is typically not visible from a second side of the packaging material. the indicium can be at least partially defined by holes in the metallic layer. the visibility of the indicium may be enhanced by the laminate including material that is a different color than the metallic layer, and the different color being at least partially visible through the indicium.
