Abstract
A pressure pad for sealing a carton made from paperboard. The pressure pad comprises a top surface having a variety of components lying in a first plane, and a variety of recesses being formed within the pressure pad, on a base lower surface of the pressure pad all lie within a third plane. A remainder of the pressure pad components lies in an intermediate plane. The pressure sealing surfaces of the pressure pad arrange to form an H-shaped sealing configuration in the paperboard carton to be sealed. The pressure pad, according to the present invention, provides an improved seal for the carton, manufactured from paperboard, to prevent the exposed raw edges of the paperboard of wicking moisture either into or out of a container. The improved sealing design, achieved by the pressure pad, according to the present invention, increases the shelf life of products being stored in containers manufactured from the improved pressure pad.
