Conversely, hydro-forming processes involve placing a solid (i.e., non-molten) film web over the forming screen. Such a web requires a higher pressure differential to distort and re-shape the solid film into its new three dimensional aperture form. The film is not molded, as is the molten web of vacuum forming, but rather is stretched and distorted or deformed by pressure; hence, the cat-eye shape results as seen in the higher mesh counts needed for softness.
The hydro-forming film's resulting cat-eye is also the cause of the poor softness properties. It was therefore necessary to invent a three-dimensional micro-apertured film in the lower micro-apertured range of mesh counts from about 40 to about 75 produced by the hydroforming method that would create substantially round openings, where some would have soft petals at their apex, in order to achieve adequate fluid acquisition and improved, even superior, softness properties.
Each of the above forming methods have certain advantages in regard to the final product. The methods of the present invention provide a combination of these advantages. Millions of relatively fragile and expensive objects are shipped within the United States and overseas every week. Each one of those objects must preferably be securely packaged in a shipping container and protected by shock-absorbing material if the object is to arrive at its destination without damage. The traditional method of packaging objects for shipping generally includes a time-consuming and labor-intensive five-step process: (1) the item is covered with a layer of protective material such as "bubble-wrap"; (2) the protective material is taped, or otherwise secured in place, around the item being shipped; (3) the item wrapped in the protective material is placed into a box or other rigid container; (4) the excess space in the container around the wrapped item is filled with a further protective material, such as expanded paper, polystyrene beads or "peanuts", and (5) the rigid container is sealed by sticky tape, string, staples or the like. The traditional method of packaging, particularly when used by mail order companies which ship items in extremely high volume, requires a great deal of labor and time. As a result, the packaging and shipping costs can add considerably to the price of the item being sold. A further disadvantage of the traditional method of packaging is that the unpacking process is also time consuming.

 Conversely, hydro - form summons involve placing a solid (i.e., non - molten) movie web over the forming screen. Such a vane requires a higher press differential to distort and re - determine the solid film into its new three dimensional aperture form. The movie is not molded, as is the molten web of void forming, but preferably is load and distorted or deformed by pressure; therefore, the cat - eye form results as see in the higher mesh counts needed for softness. 
 The hydro - form film's resulting cat - eye is also the cause of the poor softness properties. It was therefore necessary to invent a three - dimensional micro - apertured film in the lower micro - apertured range of mesh counts from about 40 to approximately 75 produce by the hydroforming method that would produce well orotund openings, where some would have soft petals at their apex, in order to achieve adequate fluid acquisition and better, even superior, softness properties.

The traditional method of packaging, particularly when used by mail order company which ship items in extremely high book, requires a great deal of labor and time. As a consequence, the packaging and shipping costs can add considerably to the price of the detail being sold. A further disadvantage of the traditional method of packaging is that the unpacking process is also prison term consuming.
