In a printing method, is obtained position information of an invisible region invisible from outside, out of the printing surface of the packaging base material. Then a flushing process in which ink is ejected the ink toward the invisible region from the nozzle based on the position information is performed. Therefore, printing for packaging pouch can be satisfactorily performed on the packaging base material without impairing the design quality of the packaging pouch manufactured by applying the bag making process to the packaging base material.

Recyclable pouches formed from rollstock and having a resealable closure that extends into both side edges of the pouch may be produced at high speeds on a single manufacturing line in which the pouches are formed, cut apart, filled, and then sealed if the film forming the pouch comprises a recyclable heat seal layer and a second recyclable layer having a melting temperature of at least 30° C. greater than the heat seal layer.

The invention relates to a method for producing and depositing a bag, in particular a flap bag (1), wherein the bag has a base, a filling opening and, in a pocket region (3), two layers, and the two layers are welded together at least in the region of a side seam (6) of the bag, wherein the bag is then moved by means of at least one transport arm (9) to a depositing device and during the movement is held on the transport arm (9) by means of negative pressure, characterised in that the at least one transport arm (9) is oriented parallel to the side seam (6) of the bag, and after welding of the two layers, as a result of which the side seam (6) is formed, the side region of the bag is placed on the transport arm (9) and during movement to the depositing device and up until depositing, the bag is held on the transport arm (9) by means of negative pressure.

A flexible packaging laminate is formed to have a built-in opening and reclose feature by forming the laminate as a two-part structure having an outer structure joined in face-to-face relation with an inner structure. Score lines are formed in both structures to enable an opening to be formed through the laminate by lifting an opening portion (e.g., a flap or the like) of the two structures out of the plane of the laminate. The score line through the outer structure defines a larger opening than the score line through the inner structure, such that a marginal region of the outer structure extends beyond the edge of the opening portion of the inner structure. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is used to re-adhere the marginal region to an underlying surface of the inner structure adjacent the opening through the laminate.

A method includes obtaining an elongated supply strip formed from an elongated profile body and an elongated flange and modifying portions of the profile body and/or the flange in different locations along a length of the supply strip to define termination ends of closure strips. The supply strip is separated into at least one of the closure strips at the termination ends. The flange in the closure strip is coupled to one or more panels of a resealable enclosure, and the panels are partially sealed to define an opening into the resealable enclosure. The profile body is configured to repeatedly couple with and decouple from itself to close and open the opening in the resealable enclosure. The panels are sealed to each other such that the ends of the closure strip are sealed between the panels.

A thermoplastic bag includes raised rib-like elements that allow the thermoplastic bag to expand. The thermoplastic bag further includes side seals having rib-like elements that allow the side seals to expand. Additionally, in one or more implementations, the thermoplastic bag includes one or more of a material formulation, a density of raised rib-like elements, a height of raised rib-like elements, or land areas that provide the raised rib-like elements with a reduced rebound ratio.

A female belt-shaped base is attached to a bag body at a region from a female hook to a first end near an open end of the bag body and to a second end near a housing space. A male belt-shaped base is attached to the bag body only in a bonding region without being attached at a region from a position where an engagement portion is continuously attached to a first end near the open end of the bag body.

Disclosed are embodiments of a versatile storage bag and methods of making same. The versatile storage bag may have first and second sidewalls, a double-locking closure mechanism with a first closure element extending along the first sidewall and a second closure element extending along the second sidewall, each closure element having a channel and an elongated member configured for interlocking with one another. A double-seal along three sides of the first sidewall and the second sidewall form a gusset between two seals, leaving an opening through the double-locking closure mechanism. Corner seals may be formed at the corners of the first and second sidewalls, further reinforcing the double-locking closure mechanism for an airtight and hence waterproof seal. The versatile storage bag may be made of a food-grade polyethylene vinyl acetate blend, approximately 90% or less ethylene vinyl acetate and approximately 10% or less polyethylene.

An example milk storage system and associated methods are described. The example milk storage system includes a milk storage bag with a body forming an inner chamber for receiving milk. The milk storage bag includes a first closure mechanism extending across the body and separating the body into a bottom section and a top section. The milk storage bag includes a preperforated section formed in both the first and second side walls of the top section of the body and spaced from edges of the top section. The preperforated section is removable from the top section of the body to form an opening extending through the top section. The milk storage system includes a hanging apparatus including a mounting section and an extension protruding from the mounting section. The extension passes through the opening in the milk storage bag to support the milk storage bag in a hanging orientation.

A bag resealing device that is reusable for use with prepackaged bags to prevent spillage and/or aid in food preservation. The reusable nature of the bag resealing device is a result of a plurality of paired adhesive strips and the plurality of perforations wherein each pair of adhesive strips can be individually exposed to allow the bag resealing device to be attached to a different prepackaged bag. The perforations enable the bag resealing device to have the used paired adhesive strips to be torn off to allow the removal of the used pair of adhesives.
