Abstract
A packaging device and method for absorbing and reducing moisture as well as a manufacturing process for such device. The packaging device is a container made from paperboard such as containerboards or linerboards with a corrugated medium. The paperboard is insulated with moisture absorbing additives comprising charcoal, activated charcoal, activated carbon, or substances mostly comprised of carbon. Perforations may be added in the boards to further permit moisture to reach the corrugated medium, permitting further absorption by the additives embedded within the corrugated medium in between the boards. This packaging device and method is favorable for storing or transporting objects which are sensitive to or would benefit from low moisture/humidity conditions.
Claims22
A process for manufacturing a boxboard comprising:
- forming at least one sheet of paper with embedded activated carbon by mixing pulp, water, and the activated carbon by wet paper making;
- corrugating either the sheet of paper with embedded activated carbon or corrugating a second sheet of paper;
- adding perforations to another sheet of paper;
- and
- forming the boxboard with a plurality of sheets of paper including attaching the sheets of paper with embedded activated carbon, perforations, and corrugation to one another.
A process for manufacturing a boxboard comprising:
- forming a sheet of paper with activated carbon by coating activated carbon onto the sheet of paper;
- corrugating the sheet of paper;
- adding perforations to another sheet of paper, and
- forming the boxboard by attaching the sheets of paper with corrugation, activated carbon, and perforations to one another.
A process for manufacturing a boxboard comprising:
- forming a sheet of paper with charcoal by
- by mixing pulp, water, and the charcoal during wet paper making or by coating charcoal onto the sheet of paper;
- corrugating the sheet of paper;
- adding perforations to another sheet of paper;
- and
- forming a the boxboard with a plurality of sheets of paper including attaching the at least one sheet of paper with charcoal and corrugation to the another sheet of paper with perforations.
