The present disclosure provides a process. In an embodiment, the process includes A. providing a fitment with a base, the base comprising an ethylene/-olefin multi-block copolymer; B. placing the base between two opposing multilayer films, each multilayer film having a respective seal layer comprising an olefin-based polymer; C. flat sealing the base to each multilayer film with opposing heated flat seal bars, the flat sealing forming opposing seal joints at the flattened base ends; and D. point sealing the opposing seal joints with opposing curved seal bars.

A method of applying labels to a store shelf in a retail environment. The method includes applying labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store's planogram.

A method for welding a first hose end at a joint with a second hose end in a seam that extends on a circumference of the first hose end, the method comprising the steps: applying a protective layer at the joint to an inside of the first hose end; pushing the second hose end beyond the joint over the first hose end; pressing the first hose end and the second hose end together flat at the joint between two first damping jaws that are moved towards each other; welding the first hose end and the second hose end together by two first partial seams while pressed together, wherein the protective layer prevents a welding of the inside of the first hose end; releasing the first hose end and the second hose end from the two first clamping jaws after welding the two first partial seams.

There is provided a sealing apparatus for forming void-fill packaging which includes a longitudinal guide path along which an edge of a part-sealed plastics film material can pass, a drive means for moving the film material along the guide path, and an air blowing or injecting means for inflating the film material. There is also provided a heating element and a rigid thermally conductive member which is thermally coupled to the heating element, the thermally conductive member having an film-contacting surface for applying thermal energy to seal the film material on the longitudinal guide path.

An add-on part (10) for connecting to a component (30). The add-on part (10) has a longitudinal axis (A) and a welding section (11) to be welded to the component (30) by torsional ultrasonic welding. The welding section (11) has a contact surface (12) for contact with a torsion sonotrode (70) and a welding surface (13) for connecting to the component (30). The welding section (11) is delimited, at least in some sections, by an inner vibration-decoupling zone (14). The inner vibration-decoupling zone (14) extends, at least in some sections, at an inclination to or parallel to the longitudinal axis (A). The method comprises a) bringing the welding surface (13) in contact with a welding region (31), b) applying a force to the contact surface (12) such that the welding surface (13) is pressed against the welding region (31), and c) introducing a torsional ultrasonic vibration into the welding section.

A soft package with strengthened hot pressing traces includes a first side wall and a second side wall formed with a folded portion along a folding line and the distal edge of the second side wall is securely adhered to that of the first side wall except of the folding line and the distal edge of the folded portion. A top wall is divided into a first portion and a second portion, wherein a distal edge of the first portion of the top wall is securely adhered to that of the folded portion and a distal edge of the second portion is securely adhered to that of a top portion of the first side wall to form a bag structure. Two strengthened pressing traces are formed on two opposite sides of the top wall. A nozzle is mounted onto the top wall and outwardly extending through the top wall.

A laser welding system is directed to simultaneously joining respective layers of a first bag and a second bag. The system includes a first film layer adjacent to a second film layer for forming the first bag, and a third film layer adjacent to a fourth film layer for forming the second bag, each layer of the plurality of film layers being made of a thermoplastic material that absorbs laser radiation having a wavelength of about 2 microns. A non-absorbing carrier film layer is positioned between the second film layer and the third film layer, the non-absorbing carrier film layer being made of a material that transmits substantially all energy of the laser radiation. A laser source applies the laser radiation toward portions of the plurality of film layers to be joined, forming the first bag generally simultaneously with the second bag.

To improve the production yield rate of a synthesis corundum cell superior in translucency, chemical resistance or an optical component comprising calcium fluoride. On the other end side of synthetic corundum piece, spacer intervenes between the surfaces which will be bonded. The spacer is crushed flat by pressure force which effects the other end side of synthetic corundum piece in the case of heat-treatment after the temporary bonding. Thereby, the spacer does not disturb the synthetic optical contacting or chemical pressurized fusion bonding state of corundum piece.

A cushioning article comprises a first and a second polymeric sheet bonded to one another and enclosing an interior cavity. The polymeric sheets retain a gas in the interior cavity. A tensile component disposed in the interior cavity includes a first tensile layer, a second tensile layer, and a plurality of tethers spanning the interior cavity and connecting the first tensile layer to the second tensile layer. An inwardly-protruding bond joins the first polymeric sheet to the first tensile layer, protrudes inward from the first polymeric sheet toward the second polymeric sheet, and partially traverses the plurality of tethers. The first polymeric sheet is displaced from the first tensile layer adjacent to the inwardly-protruding bond by the gas. A method of manufacturing a cushioning article is disclosed.
