Liquid Packaging Board

Basics

• Essentially a Composite Material ( Sandwich Panel almost? ) made of Cardboard and Metallised Plastic Film
• A VERY useful material that may be common enough worldwide to be considered Stanscrap due to it's use in Packaging

To-Do

• Need to find the name for the non-Cardboard version
• It IS NOT Metalized Plastic Film , but rather "Laminated Foil"
• No common wikipedia page (yet...again i need to make an account) but these related ones:
  • The Wikipedia Page on Retort Pouches
  • The Wikipedia Page on Stand-up Pouches
  • The Wikipedia Page on Multilayered Packaging
• The page by "Capri Sun" on their material Essentially " Polyester - Aluminium Foil - Polyethelyne "
• Joining/Sewing Methods (Should Be Roughly Similar for Both_
  • A Video by the Youtube Channel "Crafty Amy" Titled "DIY Caprisun Lunch Tote"
  • A Video by the Youtube Channel "LOLtapir" Titled "Capri Sun lunch bag TUTORIAL || craft sew DIY" (marked as "Content for Kids" and thus no commenting or adding to playlists, so not good in that aspect)
  • An instructable on thermal welding of capri sun pouches (not done with temp control?, do it to the precise melt temp of polyester etc and get less burning?
    • Also could make a proper toolhead + jig (thermal welding + ultrasonic welding are already on some page somewhere)\
  • Sew for mechanical, thermal for seal + minor mechanical

Processing Methods

• Initial cleaning is most likely required

Cleaning

• If originally storing nearly anything from water, before other uses the insides should be at least moderately cleaned

Washing

• Same process as cleaning anything really

De-Inking / Label Removal

• De-Inking and removal of Wax Liners etc is somewhat easy
• Adhesive / Label Removal may be more complex
• Removal of metal, if desired can be done with acid, once the metal layer is exposed

Dissasembly

• To turn the material from a box into a sheet/sheets,

Shredding

• Only useful as a later part of a Product Life Cycle
• Shredder
