The transverse joining device includes two joiners, which have a plurality of embossers that are individually movable transversely to the direction of travel and have an embosser stop area which cooperate such that elevations that are palpable are formed by the embossers in the transverse joining area.

A system and a method of packaging a foodstuff ingredient into discrete quantities facilitate the preparation for baking and cooking. The system includes a bulk quantity of foodstuff ingredient, a plurality of single-use packages, and a recipe with a foodstuff-ingredient requirement. The method begins by filling each single-use package with a corresponding quantity of foodstuff ingredient through an open end of the single-use package. Moreover, a corresponding quantity of foodstuff ingredient is equal to the specific volumetric capacity of each single-use package. The open end of each single-use package is then closed. Each single-use package is labeled with a description of the corresponding quantity of foodstuff ingredient. The open end of a specific single-use package is then reopened, wherein the corresponding quantity of foodstuff for the specific single-use package meets the food-stuff ingredient requirement. The corresponding quantity of foodstuff ingredient is dispensed out of the open end.
