Abstract

The disclosure provides a food-service, food-packaging product package made from one material, having certain desired properties on an outside thereof, and a different material, having different desired properties, on an inside thereof.

Claims (42)

1 . A food service, food packaging product package comprising:

an outer layer made from a first material having first properties, said first properties including good adhesive acceptance and bonding properties;

an inner layer made from a second material having second properties, said second properties including non-stick properties;

wherein said first and second materials are combined to form said product package during construction by applying an adhesive to a portion of said outer layer such that said outer layer is folded over upon itself and bonded to itself thereby capturing said inner layer inside and forming said package.

2 . The food service, food packaging product package of claim 1 wherein said package is created in the form of a pouch.

3 . The food service, food packaging product package of claim 2 wherein said pouch is created by:

creating a first sheet out of said first material for use as said outer layer;

creating a second sheet out of said second material for use as said inner layer;

assembling said first sheet on top of said second sheet to form a sheet assembly wherein said first sheet is downwardly facing and said second sheet is upwardly facing;

folding longitudinal side edges of the sheet assembly to provide two or more adhesive regions on upwardly facing, folded longitudinal side sections of said outer layer;

applying an adhesive to at least one of said adhesive regions; and

folding said sheet assembly about a laterally extending fold line thereof to adhere at least two of said adhesive regions together using said adhesive, wherein said fold line extends generally perpendicular to said longitudinal side sections of said sheet assembly.

4 . The food service, food packaging product package of claim 3 wherein said first material is kraft paper.

5 . The food service, food packaging product package of claim 3 wherein said second material is silicone release parchment liner.

6 . The food service, food packaging product package of claim 3 wherein said adhesive is cold starch glue.

7 . The food service, food packaging product package of claim 3 wherein said inner layer and said outer layer are bonded together.

8 . The food service, food packaging product package of claim 3 wherein said inner layer and said outer layer are not bonded together.

9 . A food service, food packaging bag comprising:

a front panel and a back panel wherein each of said front and back panels include an outer side being composed substantially of a first material and an inner side being composed substantially of a second material, wherein said first and second materials are different materials having different properties;

a substantially closed, folded end connecting said front and back panels;

a substantially open end generally opposite said substantially closed, folded end; and

wherein said front and back panels are joined via folded, bonded side edges extending generally between the substantially closed, folded end and the substantially open end and wherein said folded, bonded edges are bonded by adhesive regions placed on portions of said side edges formed substantially of said first material.

10 . The food service, food packaging bag of claim 9 wherein said first material is kraft paper.

11 . The food service, food packaging bag of claim 9 wherein said second material is silicone release parchment liner.

12 . The food service, food packaging bag of claim 9 wherein said folded, bonded edges are bonded by cold starch glue.

13 . A method of constructing a dual-layer, pouch-style bag including the steps of;

creating a first sheet out of a first material for use as an outer layer;

creating a second sheet out of a second material for use as an inner layer;

assembling said first sheet on top of said second sheet to form a sheet assembly wherein said first sheet is downwardly facing and said second sheet is upwardly facing;

folding longitudinal side edges of the sheet assembly to provide two or more adhesive regions on upwardly facing, folded longitudinal side sections of said outer layer;

applying an adhesive to at least one of said adhesive regions; and

folding said sheet assembly about a laterally extending fold line thereof to adhere at least two of said adhesive regions together using said adhesive, wherein said fold line extends generally perpendicular to said longitudinal side sections of said sheet assembly.

14 . The method of claim 13 further comprising the steps of applying said adhesive using a machine having at least one paste bar that is oriented generally parallel with a feed axis of said machine.

15 . The method of claim 13 further including the step of selecting said first material to be kraft paper.

16 . The method of claim 13 further including the step of selecting said second material to be silicone release parchment liner.

17 . The method of claim 13 further including the step of bonding said first sheet to said second sheet.

18 . A method of preparing a food product comprising the steps of placing a food product in a dual-layer, pouch style bag;

closing the bag;

storing the food product in the bag; and

heating the food product in the bag.

19 . The method of claim 18 wherein said heating the food product step includes the step heating the food product in a sandwich press.

20 . The method of claim 18 wherein the step of heating the food product in the bag includes heating the food product in the bag in a microwave oven.
