Cushions, methods, and manufacturing systems for making the same are disclosed. The cushions may be foamless such as being made from a body of entangled and/or intertwined polymeric strands. The manufacturing systems may include a die such as die bars having a plurality of orifices that cooperate with a plurality of receptacles and actuators for discharging a plurality of fasteners from the receptacles, through the die into the cushions. In a refinement, the die may be heated such that a skinned over membrane is created in the cushion to retain the plurality of fasteners. A trim cover may cooperate with the plurality of fasteners such that it is attached to the cushion.

A method for manufacturing a vehicle crash pad includes heating a skin layer using a heater, attaching a cushion layer to the skin layer, placing a lower mold and an upper mold relative to a fabric including the skin layer and the cushion layer, forming a molded member on the lower mold, vacuum molding. The upper mold is lowered to perform the vacuum molding. The method further includes a laser processing of the fabric and molded member using a processing system, where a sensor senses the fabric and molded member, and based on sensed data, a through-hole is defined by adjusting the intensity of a laser's light irradiated to the fabric and molded member.

A method for producing a film as part of a packaging container in order to at least partially delimit an interior of the packaging container. The film is designed to tear at a predetermined breaking point as a result of mechanical pressure, in order to provide access to the interior. The method includes: providing the film as a monofilm or film composite with at least one layer, in which at least the outer and/or inner layer with respect to the interior is made of plastic, producing a predetermined breaking point in the form of a laser engraving by removing part of the film by means of a laser, wherein the removal is by way of a local reduction of the film thickness by the laser and thus the predetermined breaking point is designed as a laser engraving.
