A process of making packages (1) of the above type is also described.

The invention relates to a resealable package (1, 1, 1), comprising a package body (2) having a first side wall (4), a second side wall (6) opposite the first side wall (4), an openable top end (8) and a closed bottom end (10), wherein a portion (12) of the first side wall (4) protrudes beyond the second side wall (6) at the top end (8) in a direction from the bottom end (10) to the top end (8), and a closure element (18) which is releasably adhered to an inner surface (14) of the portion (12) of the first side wall (4) which protrudes beyond the second side wall (6) and the second side wall (6) so as to close the top end (8), Upon removal of the closure element (18) from the package body (2), a resealable adhesive arrangement (20, 22; 23; 25) is exposed so as to allow the inner surface (14) of the portion (12) of the first side wall (4) which protrudes beyond the second side wall (6) and an outer surface (16) of the second side wall (6) to be resealably adhered to one another in a position to close the top end (8). Further, the invention relates to a method and an apparatus (100) for producing the resealable package (1, 1, 1).

An external pumping vacuum packaging machine and an operation method thereof are provided. The external pumping vacuum packaging machine comprises: a stage configured to place a bag to be packaged; a plastic package device disposed on the stage, which is configured to seal the bag to be packaged; a first clamping device and a second clamping device respectively configured to clamp both ends of a bag mouth of the bag to be packaged; and a tightening device configured to drive the first clamping device and/or the second clamping device to move, so as to increase the spacing between the first clamping device and the second clamping device and tighten the bag mouth of the bag to be packaged.

The present invention relates to a plush toy parcel, and particularly to a plush toy parcel that includes one or more parcel panels that are fabricated from one or more material sheets. The parcel panels are fastened together forming a pocket having a pocket opening along at least one edge, one or more inner panel surfaces, and one or more outer panel surfaces. One or more arms are part of the parcel panel and are positioned proximate to the pocket opening in a manner that tying the arms together closes the pocket opening. A postal indicia is inscribed or a label fastened to the inner panel surface, the postal indicia is only visible when the pocket is turned inside out. The postal indicia effectuates the shipping of the plush toy parcel.

A closure assembly for a bag, comprises, a first closure having a first longitudinal member, the first longitudinal member having a first end and a second end, the longitudinal member being provided with a clamping arrangement adapted to clamp a bag, the clamping arrangement comprising a first clamp at the first end and a second clamp at the second end, wherein, a bottom surface of the longitudinal member comprises two edges adapted to be separated under force and snap into a closed position elastically, wherein the first clamp and the second clamp are adapted to limit the separation between the two edges and a second closure having a second longitudinal member, the second longitudinal member having a hollow cross section defining a cavity adapted to receive the first closure.

A collection assembly (10, 10a) for flowable materials includes a central, flexible bag (12, 12a) with a collection skirt (14, 14a) secured to the bag (12, 12a) and extending outwardly from the open top (20, 20a) of the bag (12, 12a). In use, the assembly (10, 10a) is placed at a collection site with the bag (12, 12a) in a collapsed condition and the skirt (14, 14a) is deployed about the bag (12, 12a). Material (36) is then placed on the assembly (10, 10a) over the open top (20, 20a) and, as necessary, the skirt (14, 14a). The skirt is then elevated using marginal gathering apparatus (16, 16a), thereby causing the material (36) to flow into the bag (12, 12a). The skirt (14, 14a) may then be gathered and closed, forming a duffel closure for the assembly (10, 10a).

A device for detecting defects during sealing of a package including a foil, and a method for detecting defects during sealing of a package including a foil which makes use of such a device. The device may include a distance sensor for determining the distance between at least two clamping elements, and a control unit coupled to the distance sensor for comparing the measured distances to predefined references. Such a device may be operated by, for example, positioning a foil and another part of a package to be connected to the foil between the clamping elements, moving the clamping elements toward one another until a connection between the foil and the other part of the package is formed, determining the distance between the clamping elements over a period, moving the clamping elements apart, and removing the package.
