Provided is a packaging envelope insertion-type paper buffer safety member which can be inserted into a packaging envelope in order to cushion impacts. The paper buffer safety member includes a base member made of rectangular paper having a certain thickness; and a paper buffer material attached to the rear surface of the base member. A plurality of width direction fold lines are formed on the front surface of the base member so as to be spaced a certain distance from each other. On the front surface of the base member, a first adhesive layer is formed over the entire lower end in the longitudinal direction, and a second adhesive layer is formed over the entire upper end other than a portion of the front side.

A form-fill-seal machine and a method for manufacturing and filling a bag (100) having a drawstring tape or cord. The form-fill-seal machine includes a device to guide a film on the machine. A conveying device positions at least one drawstring tape or cord on the film. A folding device folds the film to form a first sheet and a second sheet of the bag. First and second welding jaws weld the first sheet and the second sheet to close two sides of the bag and leave a third side of the bag open. A filling chute fills the bag by the third side of the bag. Third welding jaws close the bag by sealing the third side.

A method and apparatus for accurately performing multiple tasks on a web of material are described herein. The method and apparatus include at least a first detector for detecting a detectable feature on the web of material for performing a first operation at a first location on the web of material, and a second detector for detecting a detectable feature on the web of material for performing a second operation at a second location on the web of material. The method and apparatus further include an automated compensating device that cooperates at least indirectly with the detectors. The compensating device reduces any variations in position along the length of the web of material between at least one of said first locations and/or said second locations.

A zipper tape includes a male belt-shaped base including a male base layer continuous with a male portion, and a female belt-shaped base including a female base layer continuous with a female portion. The male base layer and the female base layer are made of linear low-density polyethylene. A base film includes a sealant layer made of a resin containing polypropylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin component. A male seal layer and a female seal layer, which are bonded to the sealant layer, are made of a resin containing polyethylene at 50 mass % or more with respect to the other resin.

A web of first or second material is provided with the spout, and a plastic bag is made from side gusset materials in addition to webs of the first and second materials. An aperture is formed in the web of the first or second panel material, and the spout is inserted into and positioned with the aperture, whenever the webs of the first and second panel materials are fed intermittently. After the webs of the first and second panel materials are superposed on each other, whenever the webs of the first and second panel materials are fed intermittently, the webs of the first and second panel materials are heat sealed with each other in a longitudinal direction thereof by a longitudinal seal device, and the webs of the first and second panel materials are heat sealed with the side gusset materials in a width direction thereof by a cross seal device.

A package, such as a bag or stand-up pouch, is described that includes a built-in opening support that can be actuated by the user to maintain the package in an open or wide-open configuration, thereby preventing or reducing the need to manually keep the front and back panels of the package separated as product is accessed. The opening support may be disposed near the opening end of at least one of the front or back panels and may be designed to be moved from an inactive position to an active position. In the inactive position, the opening support is disposed along one of the front panel or the back panel, whereas in the active position, the opening support extends between the front panel and the back panel, across a corresponding longitudinal seam of the package, to maintain the opening of the package in a wide-open position.

A method and apparatus for forming pouches and/or bags is disclosed. A seal and/or insert is crushed using a multiphase sealer or crusher.

An exemplary method for converting a web of preformed pouches to at least one padded envelope includes moving the web along a path of travel, inserting a first inflation pin into a first inflation channel of a preformed pouch, and inserting a second inflation pin into a second inflation channel of the preformed pouch. In addition, the method includes inflating inflation patterns of each panel of the preformed pouch by providing air through at least one of the first inflation pin and the second inflation pin, such that the preformed pouch is in an inflated position. The method also includes simultaneously sealing the outer skin and each side panel of the preformed pouch to maintain the preformed pouch in the inflated position.
