Abstract
A peelably sealed package includes a web having a peelable layer and a substrate having a surface layer. The peelable layer includes a blend of: i) from about 3 to about 15 weight parts polybutylene, ii) from about 40 to about 75 weight parts ionomer, and iii) from about 20 to about 55 weight parts ethylene/unsaturated ester copolymer such as a vinyl ester of aliphatic carboxylic acid or an alkyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid. The surface layer of the substrate includes a polyethylene having a density of from about 0.915 to about 0.93 g/cc, an ionomer, or a mixture of these polymers. The peelable layer of the web and the surface layer of the substrate are peelably sealed to each other in one or more selected areas. The peelable layer may form a peelable seal having a peel strength that is essentially equivalent regardless of whether the contact surface of the substrate is a polyethylene or an ionomer.
