Abstract
A direct-to-consumer heat shrunk bundled product made up of a plurality of paper product rolls each individually packaged by a first package material and arranged relative to one another so as to form a bundle, the bundle being packaged by a second package material, wherein a substantial portion of the inner surface of the second package material is in contact with the first package material of the plurality of paper product rolls and is nonstick relative to the first package material. The bundle includes fused end seals so that the bundle does not include open gussets that might otherwise catch on machinery during sorting and shipping.
Claims21
A direct-to-consumer heat shrunk bundled product comprising:
- a plurality of paper product rolls each individually packaged by a first package material and arranged relative to one another so as to form a bundle, the bundle being packaged by a second package material, wherein a substantial portion of the inner surface of the second package material is in contact with the first package material of the plurality of paper product rolls and is nonstick relative to the first package material, wherein the first package material is heat shrunk with the second package material, and wherein the bundled product deflects less than 7 inches under a 150 lb force as tested in accordance with ASTM D 642 where the force was applied perpendicular to a longest side of the bundle.
A direct-to-consumer heat shrunk bundled product comprising:
- a plurality of paper product rolls each individually packaged by a first package material and arranged relative to one another so as to form a bundle, the bundle being packaged by a wrapper made of a second package material, wherein the wrapper comprises at least one end seal that comprises:
- a middle portion made up of two overlapping layers of the second package material;
- and
- side portions made up of at least three overlapping layers of the second package material that are fused to one another so that there are no openings between the at least three overlapping layers,
- wherein the bundled product deflects less than 7 inches under a 150 lb force as tested in accordance with ASTM D 642 where the force was applied perpendicular to a longest side of the bundle.
A direct-to-consumer heat shrunk bundled product comprising:
- a plurality of tissue product rolls arranged in groups with each group individually packaged by a first package material and arranged relative to one another so as to form a bundle, the bundle being packaged by a second package material, wherein each tissue product roll has a Kershaw firmness of 3.5 mm or more and the packaged bundle deflects less than 6 inches under a 150 lb force as tested in accordance with ASTM D 642 where the force was applied perpendicular to a longest side of the bundle.
