A paperboard structure including a paperboard substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface and a basecoat applied to the first major surface and/or the second major surface, the basecoat including a pigment component, the pigment component including all pigments in the basecoat, wherein the pigment component has a median particle size between about 3 and about 8 micrometers, and wherein at most about 15 percent by weight of the pigment component has a particle size smaller than 1 micrometer.

Basecoat composition and associated paperboard structure

A basecoat composition including a carrier component and a pigment component dispersed in the carrier component, the pigment component including all pigments in the basecoat composition, wherein the pigment component has a median particle size between about 3 and about 8 micrometers, and wherein at most about 15 percent by weight of the pigment component has a particle size smaller than 1 micrometer.

A thermo-insulating packaging material including a paper-based substrate layer, a paper-based top layer and a thermal-insulating composition positioned between the paper-based substrate layer and the paper-based top layer, the thermal-insulating composition including a filler, an organic binder and a plasticizer.

Packaging materials with enhanced thermal-insulating performance

A method for preparing a thermo-insulating packaging material including steps of providing a first paper-based substrate, applying a fluid thermal-insulating composition onto the first paper-based substrate, the thermal-insulating composition including a filler, an organic binder, a plasticizer, and water, applying a second paper-based substrate over the thermal-insulating composition such that the thermal-insulating composition is positioned between the first paper-based substrate and the second paper-based substrate to form a structure, and drying the structure.

A container including a base container having a side wall that extends about a longitudinal axis to define an internal volume and an overwrap positioned over the side wall, the overwrap including a first zone circumferentially extending about the base container, the first zone including a first pattern of bosses, and a second zone circumferentially extending about the base container, the second zone including a second pattern of bosses, the second pattern of bosses being different than the first pattern of bosses.

Insulated container with comfort zone

A packaging material including a paper-based substrate having a first surface and a second surface and a thermal-insulating composition on the first surface of the substrate, wherein the thermal-insulating composition includes, based on the total weight of the composition, filler in an amount of 20% to 70% by weight, organic binder in an amount of 15% to 70% by weight, and plasticizer in an amount of 0.5% to 10% by weight.

A container including at least one wall that defines an internal volume and an opening into the internal volume, the wall defining an internal surface and an external surface and being formed as a layered structure that includes a first layer, a second layer that includes paperboard and defines the external surface, and an adhesive layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer, wherein at most 0.15 grams of surface condensation forms on the wall per 300 square centimeters of the external surface during a 20-minute interval, the 20-minute interval beginning upon filling 75 percent of the internal volume with a liquid maintained at a temperature of about 32&#xb0; F. while the filled container is exposed to an ambient temperature of about 73&#xb0; F. and about 50 percent relative humidity.
