An electrode packing device includes: a transferring unit that transfers a wound electrode; and a packaging unit for packaging the electrode transferred by the transferring unit, wherein the packaging unit includes: a packaging bag supporting part for supporting the inlet of the packaging bag in an opened state; an electrode supporting part that supports the electrode from the outside the packaging bag, after the electrode is put into the packaging bag; and a sealing part that seals the inlet of the packaging bag, and the electrode supporting part includes a gripper that presses the core of the electrode and a side pad that presses the side of the electrode in a state in which the electrode is put in the packaging bag.

A transport mechanism for engaging a pouch in an erect configuration at a first station of a packaging machine and transferring the pouch to a second station of the packaging machine includes a carriage and a grip assembly. The carriage is moveable between the first station and the second station. The grip assembly is coupled to the carriage and is at least partially moveable relative to the carriage between an engaged position for clamping the pouch in the erect configuration within the grip assembly, and a released position.

A method for packaging one or more tobacco-filled boxes (13) in a plastic bag (21) comprises the following steps of—placing the box in a vacuum chamber (3, 5) through an input (7),—closing the vacuum chamber, then evacuating the vacuum chamber and thereafter creating an over-pressure nitrogen atmosphere in the vacuum chamber—putting a bag open at one end around a rectangular guide profile (19) open at both ends, where the other, closed, end of the bag shuts off one of the ends of the rectangular guide profile,—positioning the rectangular guide profile with the end not shut off by the bag in front of a shut off output (9) of the vacuum chamber and coupling the rectangular guide profile in a gas-tight manner to the output of the vacuum chamber,—opening the output of the vacuum chamber and guiding the box into the bag via the rectangular guide profile, and—folding the open end of the bag immediately followed by the sealing of the bag. By processing the box in the vacuum chamber before a plastic bag is put around the box, it is better to create underpressure in the box and flush it with nitrogen because the box has not yet been shut off on three sides by the plastic bag in a gas-tight manner. As a result, a better atmosphere can be created in the box or the optimal atmosphere in the box can be created in a faster manner.

A foldable and rollable zoned spring mattress includes a zoned spring layer with first, second and third lateral regions. The central axis of the mattress passes through the second lateral region. The first lateral region is disposed between the second lateral region and the top of the mattress, and the third lateral region is disposed between the second lateral region and the bottom of the mattress. The second lateral region includes pocket springs comprised of individual metal coils each encased in a fabric pocket. The first and third lateral regions include coils that are connected to one another by parallel rows of helical-shaped wires that are oriented perpendicular to the central axis. The mattress is compressed and then folded at its central axis at the pocket springs of the second lateral region. The compressed and folded mattress is then rolled such that the helical-shaped wires are not folded or bent.

A deposition mask package according to the present embodiment includes a receiving portion, a lid portion that faces the receiving portion, a deposition mask that is arranged between the receiving portion and the lid portion and has an effective region in which a plurality of through-holes is formed. The receiving portion has a first opposing surface facing the lid portion and a concave portion provided on the first opposing surface. The concave portion is covered by a first flexible film. The effective region of the deposition mask is arranged on the concave portion with the first flexible film interposed therebetween.

A hazardous drug deactivation wipe kit includes a first pouch having a one-way valve coupled to an end thereof, a second pouch, and a third pouch. The first pouch contains a wipe saturated in a hypochlorite solution, the second pouch contains a wipe saturated in thiosulfate solution, and the third pouch contains a wipe saturated in isopropyl alcohol solution. The deactivation wipe kit may be used in a clean room to deactivate most hazardous drugs on a work surface.

A method for forming an antislip material. A flexible thermoplastic carrier is provided. A hot release surface is provided. Provided is a first layer of discrete thermoplastic particles, sitting on the hot release surface. The discrete particles are above their softening temperatures, providing in the first layer a tackiness. The method includes contacting the carrier with the tacky first layer for sticking the first layer to the carrier, and thereafter removing the carrier, and therewith the tacky first layer stuck to the carrier, from the release surface. Thereby the carrier is provided with a hot, preferably discontinuous and/or elastomeric antislip coating. With a heat energy of the hot coating a bond is formed between the carrier and the coating. The removing of the carrier includes pulling the carrier out of the contact with a pulling-out force. The temperature of the hot release surface is above the melting temperature of the carrier. The carrier would be spoiled, if heated completely to the temperature of the release surface and simultaneously pulled with the pulling-out force. Therefore the contacting time is kept shorter than a minimum time required by a heat of the hot release surface for spoiling the carrier. Flat-topped roughening projections can be included in the antislip coating.

Packaging systems and methods are disclosed for storing a bioprosthetic device comprising a bioprosthetic tissue and maintaining a target relative humidity across a temperature range. The packaging system includes a sealed package defining an internal space having an internal volume, and a humidity control device and bioprosthetic device within the internal space. The humidity control device includes a barrier defining an enclosed space and a humidity control solution comprising glycerol in the enclosed space. At least a portion of the barrier comprises a gas-permeable membrane. The target relative humidity is provided within the internal volume of the sealed package and the control device maintains the target relative humidity across the temperature range by selectively liberating and absorbing water vapor.

A package (1) includes a bag (20) and a sheet laminate (10) packaged in the bag (20). The sheet laminate (10) includes a first fiber sheet (11) including a first fiber including a PET resin having a melting point higher than 230° C., and a second sheet (12) including a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 230° C. or lower. The sheet laminate (10) includes a joined portion (30) in which the first fiber sheet (11) and the second sheet (12) are joined adjacently to each other. In the joined portion (30), constituent resin of the first fiber sheet (11) is embedded in the thermoplastic resin constituting the second sheet (12). The present invention also provides a production method of the package.

A method includes separating a portion of a flattened tube of stock packing material to a custom length to form a pouch pre-form and closing a first end of the pouch pre-form leaving a second end of the pouch pre-form open. The method can include placing product into the pouch pre-form and closing the one open end of the pouch pre-form to form a closed pouch containing the product.
