Abstract
An anti-microbial packaging includes an innermost decontamination layer defining an inside and exposed surface of the packaging against which items in the packaging would contact. A fiber substrate layer is fixed to the innermost decontamination layer which itself is a metal or a metallic-alloy layer.
Claims11
An anti-microbial packaging, comprising:
- an innermost decontamination layer having a thickness between 300-400 angstroms, said innermost decontamination layer defining an inside and exposed surface of said packaging against which items in said packaging would contact;
- a paper substrate layer fixed to said innermost decontamination layer;
- a metallic foil layer on an opposing side of said paper substrate layer from said innermost decontamination layer;
- a plastic or polymer film layer disposed between said innermost decontamination layer and said paper substrate layer;
- and
- a polymer layer covering said metallic foil layer, said polymer layer being a non-porous material;
- wherein each of said innermost decontamination layer, said paper substrate layer, said metallic foil layer, said plastic or polymer film layer, and said polymer layer have a length and width that are coextensive with one another;
- wherein said innermost decontamination layer is comprised of one of a metal and a metallic-alloy;
- wherein said innermost decontamination layer forms an entirety of said inside and exposed surface of said packaging;
- and
- wherein said paper substrate layer is disposed between said innermost decontamination layer and said metallic foil layer.
