The invention further relates to a foot (16) and a runner (17) for a pallet (1), to a sandwich block (2) for producing a layer (13) of a pallet (1), and to a method for producing a pallet (1).

An RFID tag manufacturing system is provided that includes a conveyance device that conveys a base sheet provided with a plurality of antenna patterns to each of which an RFIC module is fixed. The system includes a laminating device that attaches a cover seal on the base sheet to cover the antenna patterns and a punching device that produces RFID tags by punching the cover seal and the base sheet with a punching blade that includes a frame-shaped cutting edge surrounding the antenna patterns to form a frame-shaped cut. The base sheet includes alignment mark in a non-attachment part of the cover seal. The punching device specifies the position of each of the antenna patterns covered with the cover seal based on the alignment mark, and punches the cover seal and the base sheet based on the specified position of the antenna pattern.

The invention relates to an extensible bearing element (28) intended to be arranged in a tool for sealing a bottom or a lid of a cardboard package on a body of said package, with a generally polygonal shape.

The extensible bearing element (28) has a cross-sectional profile comprising two parallel extension sections (36) extending along an extension direction (E), each connected, at one of their ends (36E), to a bearing section (38), such that the extension sections (36) and the bearing section (38) define an inflation cavity (30).

The extension sections (36) are configured so as to extend along the extension direction (E) during the inflation.

The bearing section (38) comprises a substantially flat free bearing surface (40), configured to come into contact with the package body, the bearing surface (40) extending along a plane substantially normal to the extension direction (E).

The bearing section (38) further comprises, at the junctions with the extension sections (36), beveled release portions (42).

The invention also relates to an inflation device (6) comprising such an extensible bearing element (28).

A defect detection device that detects the position of defective parts in a core paper. The device includes a slitter/scorer that cuts a continuous double-sided cardboard sheet along a transport direction. The device includes a cutoff that cuts off a plurality of continuous double-sided cardboard sheets along a width direction to a prescribed length, the continuous double-sided cardboard sheets having been cut to a prescribed width. The device includes a web director that distributes the plurality of continuous double-sided cardboard sheets to respective conveyance tables. The device includes a defective-product-eliminating device that eliminates plate-shaped double-sided cardboard sheets from a conveyance line. The device includes a control device that specifies the plate-shaped double-sided cardboard sheets having defective parts on the basis of the position of the defective parts and the width-direction cutting position on the continuous double-sided cardboard sheets, and operates the defective-product-eliminating device handling the plate-shaped double-sided cardboard sheets.

In accordance some aspects of the present application, there is provided a label assembly, a release liner and methods of preparing label assemblies and release liners. In one aspect, a label assembly includes a top layer having a front side and a back side and an adhesive applied at the back side of the top layer. The label assembly also includes a silicone-treated liner contacting the adhesive to sandwich the adhesive between the top layer and the liner. The silicone-treated liner comprises paper that does not have a machine finish or gloss finish on a side of the paper that contacts the adhesive to allow at least a portion of the silicone in the silicone treatment to penetrate the paper.

A printable blank sheet includes a sheet with a first layer and a second layer attached to a bottom side of the first layer. Slit-over-perforation lines extend through the sheet. The slit-over-perforation lines include cuts running through the first layer, and perforations running through the second layer. A folder is cut into the sheet with a periphery of the folder defined by the slit-over-perforation lines.

In a unit for making sections of padding for absorbent sanitary articles comprising a first rotary conveyor for feeding and forming a continuous succession of outer pads, comprising at least one layer, a second rotary conveyor for feeding and forming a continuous succession of inner pads comprising two layers, a third rotary conveyor for the pads defining a position for superposing the outer pads and the inner pads, there are compressing means for the two-layer inner pads upstream of the superposing position and second compressing means for the superposed pads downstream of the superposing position.

The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for assembling disposable pant diapers having contoured elastic belts. During the assembly process, opposing end regions of chassis are connected with the elastic belts in the form of first and second continuous elastic laminates. The chassis are then folded to place the elastic laminates into a facing relationship. The inner longitudinal edges of one or both the elastic laminates are then cut to define a contoured shape. Discrete pieces of trim material may be removed from one or both the elastic laminates, and the first and second continuous elastic laminates are cut in the cross direction to form discrete pant diapers. In some configurations, a single knife both removes the trim material and cuts the elastic laminates in cross direction. And in some configurations, a first knife removes the trim material and a second knife cuts the elastic laminates in cross direction.
