The invention is also directed to a coextruded film comprising a core layer which comprises between 20 wt. % and 99 wt % znLLDPE or HDPE, wherein the core layer further comprises filler materials; and outer layers on each side of the core layer comprising between 50 and 99 wt % of one of LLDPE, LDPE, blends of LLDPE and LDPE, or mLLDPE; wherein the film contains relatively opaque embossed regions and relatively clear unembossed regions, wherein the opaque embossed regions comprise embossment-induced cavities and the filler materials.

An adapter for connecting a breast milk collection bag to breast milk pump fittings of different sizes. A breast milk collection bag has an end margin configured to conform tightly over the adapter. The bag can have a reclosable seal. An adapter has a first adapter portion and a second adapter portion. The first adapter portion can connect to a fitting of a first breast milk pump of a first size. The second adapter portion can connect to a fitting of a second breast milk pump of a second size different from the first size. In another aspect, the adapter further has a retainer and a flow passage. The retainer is configured to engage and hold the end margin of the breast milk collection bag. The flow passage extends through the first adapter portion, the second adapter portion, and the retainer.

A reclosable bag comprising a first wall and a second wall, a zipper, and a plurality of impressions. The first and second wall form a product pouch and a mouth, where the mouth is configured to the selectively closable. The zipper further comprises a first profile and a second profile that can be releasably interlocked with each other. The plurality of impressions are formed immediately over and extend into the one or both or the first or second profile along the length of the zipper. The impressions are in an angled orientation with each other to form a generally zigzag pattern such that when the first and second profile are interlocked, a user receives tactile and audible feedback.

Reusable, stackable containers for produce and the like, along with related methods. In some implementations, a method for folding a sheet into a container may comprise folding a first rollover panel against a first panel, wherein the first panel is configured to define a first sidewall of the container. The first rollover panel may further be configured to define a reinforced upper portion of the first sidewall of the container. A second rollover panel may be folded against a second panel, wherein the second panel is configured to define a second sidewall of the container opposite from the first sidewall. The second rollover panel may be configured to define a reinforced upper portion of the second sidewall of the container.

A bag for containing at least one of liquid and solid items therein. The bag has releasable closures for opening and closing the bag. The closures are constructed to resist leakage from the bag.

A method of making gloves from a web of material, which leaves no scrap from the web of material. A first sheet of material is overlaid on a second sheet of material forming a web. First and second glove patterns are formed in the web are arranged to be opposite one another in the cross machine direction of the web. A sinusoidal cut can be made in the web in the machine direction to form glove patterns opposite each other in the cross machine direction.

Systems and methods of making a glove pack and for removing gloves from the glove pack are disclosed. The glove pack includes a stack of gloves. The stack of gloves includes a first glove engaging a second glove. The first and second gloves each have an exterior gripping surface. Each exterior gripping surface of the first and second gloves engages and adheres to the exterior gripping surface of the other of the first or second glove in the stack of gloves thereby adhering the first and second gloves together in the stack of gloves such that when the first glove is removed from the stack of gloves at least a portion of the second glove moves with the first glove.

A polymeric bag comprises front and rear walls, a bottom and top edge spaced apart along a bag length, and first and second side edges spaced apart along a bag width. The front and rear walls, bottom and top edges, and first and second side edges collectively define an interior compartment therebetween. A reclosable opening is disposed along the top edge to provide access to the interior compartment. The polymeric bag may have a side gusset(s) and/or a bottom gusset disposed at the side and bottom edges respectively. One or more reinforcing seals are disposed along the first and second side edges to seal a portion of at least one of the side gusset and bottom gusset. Each reinforcing seal has a length extending from the bottom edge toward the reclosable opening and a width extending from one side edge toward another.

A method and system for production of polymeric film. Radiant heat is applied in a controlled manner to the film to control the heating of the film so that desirable processing, such as annealing may be carried out.

A sheet product package and method of making discrete plastic sheets includes a package enclosure with a dispensing opening structure and a plurality of discrete plastic sheets arranged in a stack. The plurality of discrete plastic sheets are disposed within the package enclosure, and each of the plurality of discrete plastic sheets is electrostatically charged. In the method of making the dispensable plastic sheets, electrostatically charged discrete plastic sheets are formed and arranged in a stack. The method may include forming a continuous plastic film, cutting the continuous plastic film into discrete plastic sheets, and, after cutting, electrostatically charging the discrete plastic sheets.
