METHOD OF MAKING TACTILE FEATURES ON CARTONS

摘要

A textured or soft-feel exterior surface.of a carton (14) can be created by- applying, a coating -material (36) to the carton prior to filling the carton with a consumer product such as facial tissue. In one embodiment, the carton is then filled with the consumer product after which the coating material is activated by heating to form the textured surface. By activating the coating material after filling the carton, the carton is able to be processed on existing equipment, and the soft-feel material is less likely to be damaged by the machinery during the filling operation.
