Abstract

A gum wrapper having two sheets of paper laminated with PLA resin material therebetween for packaging a plurality of wrapped, individual sticks of chewing gum.

Claims (24)

1 . A gum wrapper, comprising:

a paper/PLA/paper structure comprising two sheets of paper laminated with PLA resin material therebetween for packaging a plurality of wrapped, individual sticks of chewing gum.

2 . The gum wrapper of claim 1 wherein each of the two sheets of paper has a basis weight in the range of about 10 to 30 pounds per 3,000 square feet.

3 . The gum wrapper of claim 1 , comprising:

a paper/PLA/foil lamination comprising paper, polylactide (PLA) resin material and a foil for wrapping each of the individual sticks of chewing gum; and

the paper/PLA/paper structure being adapted to package the individual sticks of chewing gum wrapped with the paper/PLA/foil lamination.

4 . The gum wrapper of claim 2 wherein each of the two sheets of paper has a basis weight in the range of about 10 to 30 pounds per 3,000 square feet.

5 . A two-layer composite wrapper for packaging a food product comprising:

a paper layer; and

a polylactide (PLA) resin material covering the paper and comprising a barrier to moisture and vapor for protecting a food product packaged within said paper layer, wherein the PLA resin material comprises an extrusion, and the PLA resin material bonds to the paper layer.

6 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 5 wherein the PLA resin material and the paper layer are compostable.

7 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 5 wherein the extrusion comprises two layers of the PLA resin material.

8 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 7 wherein the PLA resin material and the paper layer are compostable.

9 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 5 wherein, the PLA resin material is transparent, and the paper layer is printed with print that shows through the PLA resin material.

10 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 9 wherein the PLA resin material and the paper layer are compostable.

11 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 5 wherein the PLA resin material is transparent, and the paper layer contains pigment to provide coloration.

12 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 11 wherein the PLA resin material and the paper layer are compostable.

13 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 5 wherein the paper layer has a high gloss surface.

14 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 13 wherein, the PLA resin material is transparent, and the paper layer is printed with print that shows through the PLA resin material.

15 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 14 wherein the PLA resin material and the paper layer are compostable.

16 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 5 , further comprising:

a metallized material in the paper layer.

17 . The two-layer composite wrapper of claim 5 , further comprising:

a metallized material in the PLA resin.
