Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This disclosure relates generally to packaging of products in a manner that is attractive to consumers and, more particularly, to film-based packaging material that is at least partially textured. The packaging may formed of one or more film layers that are embossed in at least some regions, or may be formed of laminated structurally elastic-like film web substrate wherein inherent elongation properties of at least portions of the given web material used in the construction of the package are modified by a mechanical process. The portions of the web material so embossed or otherwise modified are disposed in a pattern that is registered with graphics printed on the packaging material.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Many consumer products sold in bulk quantities are packaged in film-based packaging material. Film packaging material has several advantages over cardboard or other packaging, such as the ability to tightly wrap the enclosed products so as to m...
