An apparatus and process can be used for packaging a product arranged on a support or on a support portion of a continuous support using a packaging assembly configured for tightly fixing a film portion of a plastic film to said support or support portion. A conveyor extends through or in correspondence of the packaging assembly and is configured to move the supports or the support portions inside the packaging assembly. A vacuum arrangement is controlled to extractthrough the conveyor and through holes in the support or support portiongas present in the packaging assembly between the film portion and the underlying support or support portion for then forming a vacuum skin packaged product.

An electronic media case includes an electronic display device powered by a battery that includes a display screen. The electronic media case also includes a display housing that has a first flap and a first plurality of foldable tabs surrounding the electronic display device. A viewing window is cut into the first flap, exposing the display screen through the first flap. The electronic media case also includes a folding case that has a second flap to which the foldable tabs of the first plurality of foldable tabs are connected. The folding case also has a third flap connected to the second flap at a first folding interface. The electronic media case includes a media sleeve that is connected to the third flap.

A method of packaging pre-filled medical devices is disclosed. The method comprises producing a packaging having a front panel and a back panel defining a compartment capable of holding one or more medical devices wherein at least one of the front panel or top panel has a portion containing a gas permeable material while the remaining portion of the pouch is gas impermeable. This gas permeable material allows gas to pass through the material and contact the one or more articles contained within the compartment or allows gas to pass through the gas permeable material from the inside of the compartment to the outside of the container. Upon completion of sterilization, the pouch is sealed and the gas permeable portion is cut away leaving the sterilized medical device enclosed in a completely gas impermeable pouch.

System (10) for automatically packaging items varying in size and number for shipment, comprising a unit (32) for acquiring size information of one or more item(s) to be packaged, an inner packaging material feeding unit (24) for feeding an inner packaging material, an outer packaging material feeding unit (26) for feeding an outer packaging material, a first wrapping station (16) for wrapping said inner packaging material around one or more item(s) to be packaged to create an inner packing surrounding the item(s) in a first direction and a second wrapping station (18) for wrapping said outer packaging material around said inner packing to create an outer packing surrounding the inner packing in a second direction, said second direction being substantially perpendicular to said first direction, wherein the first and the second wrapping stations are adapted to form said inner packing and said outer packing such that the inner and the outer packing form a combined package enclosing the packaged item(s) from all sides.

A vertical form fill and seal system supports a sheet of material having material segments and a tube sized for drawing edges of the elongated sheet of material together in an overlapping configuration to form the sheet into a substantially tube shape. The VFFS also includes a sealer that seals the edges of the material to one another and a gusseting mechanism sized for forming a gusseted tuck in each of a left panel portion of the material and a right panel portion of the material. A cutting mechanism removes a first portion and a second portion of a first segment of the material segments in order to form a first cut and a second cut in the first segment and a sealing mechanism folds and seals the first segment at the first cut and at the second cut to provide an end wall with a substantially flat, rectangular-shaped footprint.

A packaging machine is described comprising: support means for at least two reels of wrapping material in plastic film, film opening means for wrapping a product to be packaged, a support, fixed or mobile, on which the product to be packaged is placed, sealing means of the film configured to seal two edges of the film and cutting means for the film so as to create a package for the product starting from a reel of single-folded material, wherein the film opening means comprise a film opening plate, arranged between the reel and the welding and/or cutting means, comprising at least two surfaces connected to each other at a first end located near the reel and spaced in the film unwinding direction to create the package, facing an operator so as to move the two edges away in the direction of the operator, enabling the creation of the packaging.
