Recyclable packaging materials

A method of at least partially forming a recyclable packaging material, the method comprising:

• printing an ink layer onto at least a portion of at least one of an inner surface of a first layer comprising oriented polyethylene or an outer surface of the first layer comprising oriented polyethylene;
• drawing the first layer through a system so that the inner surface of the first layer is in opposing face-to-face relation with a predetermined component of the system, including providing the first layer in a first orientation to the system, wherein the printing occurs during the drawing;
• drawing the first layer through the system with the outer surface of the first layer in opposing face-to-face relation with the predetermined component, including providing the first layer in a second orientation to the system, and the first and second orientations being inverted from one another;
• during the providing of the first layer in the second orientation to the system, applying material onto at least a portion of at least one of the ink layer or the outer surface of the first layer;
• laminating the first layer to a second layer comprising oriented polyethylene;
• applying a patterned adhesive layer on at least a portion of an outer surface of the second layer, so that the patterned adhesive layer partially defines an exterior surface of the recyclable packaging material;
• and
• then forming the recyclable packaging material into a roll, wherein in the roll of the recyclable packaging material the patterned adhesive layer is in opposing face-to-face contact with the material.
