Composites of paper and bioriented polyester plastic film are made by passing a web of paperboard and a web of plastic film, with a layer of extruded molten polymer impregnating and bonding agent between the webs, through a nip. The process involves controlling one or more of the speed of the webs, the temperature of the molten polymer, the pressure or spacing of the rolls at the nip, and the rate of extrusion, relative to the porosity and surface characteristics of the paper web such that a portion of the molten polymer impregnates partially into and becomes part of the paper web and a substantial portion lies outwardly of the surface of the paper web and solidifies to form a new surface to which the film is bonded and which it is supported clear of the paper surface. The molten polymer may be polyethylene or an ethylene acrylic acid copolymer. These composites are useful in forming corrugated structures which may be used for baking in convection ovens.

1. A composite of paper and plastic film comprising a substrate of paper, a solidified plastic impregnating and bonding agent which is ethylene acrylic acid co-polymer partially impregnated into and forming part of the paper substrate and overlying one surface of the paper and forming a new surface outwardly of the paper surface, and a bioriented polyester film supported on and bonded directly to said new surface of solidified plastic. 2. A baking tray made of a composite paper and film by the process of passing into and through the nip of a pair of nip rollers a web of Kraft paper and a web of plastic film of biorientated polyester; extruding a layer of molten ethylene acrylic acid copolymer impregnating and bonding agent into the nip between the webs on the entry side of the nip; controlling one or more of the speed of the webs, the temperature of the molten ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, the pressure or spacing of the rolls at the nip, and the rate of extrusion, relative to the porosity and surface characteristics of the paper web, and controlling the moisture content near an inner surface of said paper web, such that a substantial portion of the molten ethylene acrylic acid copolymer impregnates partially into and becomes part of the paper web and a substantial portion lies outwardly of the surface of the paper web and solidifies to form a new surface to which the film is bonded and on which the film is supported; and collecting from the nip rolls said composite compromising paper partially impregnated with solidified ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, a contiguous layer of solidified ethylene acrylic acid copolymer having said new surface outwardly of paper inner surface, and the plastic film bonded to said new surface, and the ethylene acrylic acid copolymer being generally uniform over the area of the composite in an amount of at least about nine pounds per thousand square feet in which the composite is creased, cut and folded to form a tray.
