An inflatable web is disclosed. The web includes a first and second film ply sealed together. The transverse seals define first and second inflatable chambers. The web defines a separation region extending at least partially between the first and second inflatable chambers in a substantially transverse direction across the web and configured to facilitate separation of the first and second inflatable chambers. The separation region includes a tear initiation feature that facilitates tearing of the web to separate the inflatable chambers. The separation region includes a tear propagation line including a first plurality of perforations perforation is separated from an adjacent perforation by a land having a first transverse length. A tear initiation feature includes a second plurality of perforations, each perforation separated from an adjacent perforation by a land having a second transverse length, where the first transverse length is longer than the second transverse length.

A cutting apparatus is disclosed to form a weakening line of a of an anti-tampering device of a cap made of plastics for closing a container, in which the cutting apparatus includes a feeding device for feeding the caps along a feeding path, a blade arranged in the feeding path to form the weakening line, at least one abutting wall on which the cap can roll, and a micrometric screw configured for adjusting the corresponding position of the blade with respect to the abutting wall, so that blade wear can be compensated by advancing the blade to the feeding path of the caps independently of the abutting wall.

A cap for a container is formed so that the cap has a top plate and a circular sidewall. Two opposite sides of the circular sidewall circularly connect to each other, one periphery of the circular sidewall connecting to one surface of the top plate forming a closed end, and another periphery of the circular sidewall at an opposite side of the closed end forms an opened end. Incisions are in the circular sidewall. The incisions form a ring member located at the opened end of the cap separated from a main body of the cap by a first incision and a second incision between the opened end of the main body and the ring member.

A method for manufacturing a paperboard structure configured to snap apart. The paperboard structure has a first surface and a second surface. The method includes defining first line along the first surface of the paperboard structure. The first line extends a first cut depth D.sub.1 through the paperboard structure. The method further includes cutting a second line along the second surface of the paperboard structure. The second line extends a second cut depth D.sub.2 through the paperboard structure. The second line is offset from the first line by a first offset distance D.sub.O1.

Packaging apparatuses for loading and sealing products into a web of interconnected bags, and methods of using them, are provided. In one aspect, the packaging apparatus includes an intermittently advancing web conveyor that also indexes vertically to facilitate stacked loading of products into the bags. In another aspect, the packaging apparatus includes a dividing seal station that applies a center seal dividing the bag into separate sealed subcompartments, some of the bag contents being distributed to each compartment, such as one of two trays to each subcompartment. To facilitate distribution of contents and even sealing, the dividing seal station may include a dividing sealer lower support that oscillates vertically to promote settling of contents and gases in the bag before applying a dividing seal.

A flip lid coffee machine includes a base body, a holding container, a cover pivotally connected to the base body, an actuator, an image sensing camera and a control device. The cover has a pivot end, a free end and a cutting membrane structure arranged between the pivot end and the free end. The cutting membrane structure includes a blade holder, a plurality of the water outlets arranged around a periphery of the blade holder, and a plurality of blades arranged around the periphery of the blade holder and corresponding to the plurality of the water outlets. The actuator is connected between the base body and the pivot end of the cover. The image sensing camera is arranged at the free end of the cover. The control device is connected with the actuator and the image sensing camera.
