Benefits of technology

[0006] The present disclosure relates to a multilayer packaging film for packaging disposable cleaning articles having water content. The multilayer packaging film includes at least a co-extruded vapor barrier film layer and a polymeric film layer. The polymeric film layer preferably has a melting point at least about 20° C. less than the co-extruded film layer, i

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, it is known to provide a sealed package to substantially retain the water content, thereby lengthening the shelf-life of the packaged product.
In addition, consumers are sensitive to the amount of sound generated during handling and use of the package.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Materials used to form the multilayer packaging film are selected so that the assembled article of commerce displays the quality, or otherwise conveys the impression, of softness. In particular, the packaging of the article of commerce may have a matte finish and may be formed of materials that exhibit reduced sound levels across a readily audible range of sound frequencies when the article of commerce is handled or manipulated.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, an article of commerce in accordance with the present disclosure is identified by reference numeral 20. The article of commerce includes a plurality of disposable cleaning articles 22 enclosed within a package 24. In the illustrated embodiment, the package 24 is formed from a sheet of packaging film that is wrapped around the plurality of disposable cleaning articles 22. Adjacent ends of the packaging film are sealed together to completely enclose the cleaning articles 22. Accordingly, a rear seal (not shown) extends along ...

Abstract

An article of commerce includes a disposable cleaning article and a package. The package exhibits soft visual and sound characteristics, which convey a desired quality to be associated with the enclosed cleaning article. The package is formed as a multilayer packaging film including at least a co-extruded vapor barrier film layer and a polymeric film layer having a melting point at least about 20° C. less than the co-extruded film layer laminated to the co-extruded film layer. The polymeric film layer is sealable to form the package so as to enclose the disposable cleaning article, thereby to substantially retain the water content of the disposable cleaning article. The polymeric film layer further exhibits a corrected sound level of less than approximately 50 decibels at readily audible frequencies, such as 3-5 kHz. The reduced sound level may be achieved by providing a film with a high loss tangent. In addition, the multilayer packaging film may have an outer surface with a soft or “matte” appearance.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 621,117, filed Oct. 22, 2004 and U.S. Utility Application, P&G Case Number 9775Q, filed Oct. 19, 2005.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present disclosure generally relates to a multiplayer packaging film and, more particularly, to a film for packaging disposable cleaning articles having water content. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Various types of materials are known for packaging disposable cleaning articles. Typically, the materials are plastic or plastic-based films, and may include one or more layers of polypropylene, polyethylene, or other polymeric materials. In many applications, the article to be sealed has a water content. Accordingly, it is known to provide a sealed package to substantially retain the water content, thereby lengthening the shelf-life of the packaged product. [0004] While previous packages have adequately addressed the need to retai...
