A package is provided, comprising a packaging material having a bulk layer and being formed into a three-dimensional container by folding the packaging material along predefined crease lines thus forming a fracture along the crease lines. The package comprises a plurality of corners, wherein at least one of the corners is arranged at an area of the packaging material in which two or more crease lines intersect.

A shirr-stable, tubular food casing having a glued, permanently elastic longitudinal seam based on a flat fibrous textile material coated with acrylic, collagen and/or a protein derived therefrom is provided. The seam is generated using a reactive hotmelt glue. The glued seam is resistant to boiling for a long time and also exhibits sufficient stability thereafter. Exemplary textile materials include a consolidated nonwoven or spunbonded nonwoven, a woven fabric, loop-formingly knitted fabric, laid fabric, loop-drawingly knitted fabric. To form the casing, the textile material is coated in the flat state. The coated textile material is cut into strips according to the diameter of the casing to be produced and glued using a reactive hotmelt glue, such as a PUR hotmelt glue, to form the tube. The food casing is preferably used as artificial sausage casing or for wrapping cheese or fish.

The present invention includes compositions of matter, methods of making and using a sealable container using a design control water based adhesive composition for application using a printing press by providing a substrate comprising a first side and a second side each having a top edge, a bottom edge, a right edge, a left edge and a storage region positioned there between; applying a first composition to the top edge, the bottom edge, the right edge, the left edge; applying at least a second composition to the first composition; and placing a cover on the at least a second composition to be sealed by the second composition and the first composition.

An apparatus to successively make plastic bags, each of which includes an end surface provided with a spout, by employing the general feeding way of panel material, to be simple in structure, low in cost, high in speed, and to make it possible to successively make the plastic bags two by two. A folded portion is formed in a first web of panel material, an aperture is formed in a web of end surface material, a spout is inserted into the aperture, the spout and the web of end surface material being heat sealed with each other. The web of end surface material and the folded portion are heat sealed with each other while the web of end surface material and a second web of panel material are heat sealed with each other about the spout.

A machine for manufacturing flat bottom bags includes a drum for carrying along at least one blank having a flattened tubular shape in an advancing direction, a first scoring apparatus upstream of the drum for marking on the blank a first folding line which is transverse with respect to the advancing direction, a front gripper on the drum that grips a front edge of the blank on the drum, in an opening step, and and carries along the blank, a first lateral gripping means on the drum that grip the lateral edges of the blank in the region of the first folding line.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for manufacturing spouted pouch containers. The method includes arranging an upper and lower strip with their inner sides on top of each other, folding at least one longitudinal edge of the upper strip away from the lower strip to expose both an inner side portion of the folded longitudinal edge of the upper strip and an inner side portion of the lower strip, arranging a spouted cover strip on top of the exposed inner side portions, sealing pairs of side walls of the upper and lower strip to each other and sealing the spouted cover strip to the exposed inner side portion of the lower and upper strips, and cutting the upper strip and lower strip into individual pouch containers. The apparatus is provided for carrying out the manufacturing method.

A method and apparatus for making bags with hem seals is disclosed. The machine includes an infeed section and a draw tape section. Bags are made from a film and a film path extends through the infeed section and through the draw tape section. The draw tape section includes a hem sealer that includes a stationary sealing plate on one side of the film path such that film path passes across the stationary plate. A sealing head is on the second side of the film path, opposite the first side, such that the film following the film path passes between the sealing head and the stationary plate. A sealing section may be included. The draw tape section may include driven infeed an outfeed nips.

A system and method for labeling empty transit bags may include applying labels on bag-forming material in a roll form and then sealing and cutting the bag forming material to form individual bags. The size of the bags can be varied to provide a better fit for goods that are subsequently inserted into the bags. Labeling may be done by pre-printed labels provided in a roll stock, or may be blank labels provided in a roll stock that are printed by a printer of the system. Labeling bags when they are initially formed eliminates the need to manually label bags when they are filled with goods.

A method of making a storage bag comprising the following steps performed in any order: (a) forming a composite tube having an inner surface comprising a higher melting polymer, an outer surface comprising a lower melting polymer, two ends, and a diameter; (b) flattening the tube in a direction perpendicular to the diameter; (c) forming a joint at one of the ends at a temperature between respective melting points of the higher melting polymer and the lower melting polymer; (d) providing a composite sheet having a first side comprising a higher melting polymer and a second side comprising a lower melting polymer; and (e) disposing the composite sheet over the joint such that the first side comprising a lower melting polymer engages the joint and forming a lap seam over the joint at a temperature between respective melting points of the higher melting polymer and the lower melting polymer, and a storage bag made by such method.

The invention describes a pouch-type bag, with a first wall and with a second wall, which comprise paper and which are connected to one another via side edges, so that a filling space is provided, wherein the second wall, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the pouch, protrudes beyond the first wall, with two ends, wherein a base is arranged at one end, which base comprises at least one envelope area of the second wall, wherein the envelope area is folded over about a first crease line at least onto parts of the first wall, wherein an opening is provided at the other end, via which opening the filling space is accessible, wherein one of the walls comprises a sealing area which can be folded over about a second crease line onto the outside of the other wall and can be fastened there by means of an adhesive element applied to the sealing area.

The sealing area comprises a tear-off aid between the second crease line and the adhesive element, with which the sealing area can be at least partially severed to allow renewed access to the filling space.
