Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a method for packaging a compressible product in a compressed state, comprising the step of sealing at least two parts of a polymeric machine direction oriented (MDO) film which encloses at least part of the compressible product in the compressed state, characterized in that the seal has a seal elongation at failure of about 20% to about 100%, as measured in accordance with ASTM F88/F88M-09. The present invention also relates to a compressible product in a compressed state packaged in a polymeric MDO film which encloses at least part of the compressible product, wherein at least two parts of the MDO film are sealed and characterized in that the seal has a seal elongation at failure of about 20% to about 100%, as measured in accordance with ASTM F88/F88M-09.
A polymeric machine direction oriented (MDO) film for packaging a compressible product in a compressed state, characterised in that the MDO film, when at least two parts of the MDO film are sealed, provides a seal with a seal elongation at failure of about 20% to about 100%, as measured in accordance with ASTM F88/F88M-09, wherein the MDO film has an elongation at break in the machine direction of about 100% to about 300%, as measured in accordance with ASTM D882, and the MDO film comprises from about 1% to about 90% by weight of one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of high density polyethylene (HDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), cyclic olefin copolymer (COC), and styrene butadiene copolymer (SBC), with % by weight relative to the total weight of the MDO film.
