A method for manufacturing a compostable pod for brewing products envisages preparing a first and a second sheet made of biodegradable material with gas barrier properties, shaping the first and the second sheet so as to make at least a first and a second concave portion, filling the first concave portion with a predetermined quantity of brewing product and joining the first concave portion to the second concave portion so that the respective concavities are opposite one another and define a casing for the brewing product. The shaping steps of the first and the second sheet envisage moistening at least a first portion of the first sheet and a second portion of said second sheet, configuring the first and the second portion so as to make the first and the second concave portion and drying the first and the second concave portion.

An inflatable packaging structure, including at least one inflatable panel made of a plurality of layers of thermoplastic material, the at least one inflatable panel includes a plurality of fluid chambers, whereas a one-way check valve is incorporated into at least one of the plurality of fluid chambers, an air supply line, configured to commonly communicate with each of the one-way check valves to supply fluid into the fluid chambers; and at least two sealing edges formed on the at least one inflatable panel, each of which is configured to attach a portion of the at least one inflatable panel to another portion thereof; and wherein the at least two sealing edges extend generally in parallel with respect to each other and configured to form the inflatable packaging structure with at least partially rectangular cross-section, having at least four faces.

A system for forming a vacuum bag packaging material into a desired shape includes subjecting the exterior of the packaging material to a vacuum to expand the packaging material. The expanded packaging material is then pressed into or against a forming device. Expanding the packaging material renders a filler material inside a sealed packaging membrane free flowing, such that the packaging material can assume the shape of the forming device during the pressing operation. When the vacuum is removed, the membrane recompresses upon the filler material and renders it non-free flowing such that the formed packaging material maintains the formed shape during ordinary handling.

An inflation feature for a shipping package, an inflation rig assembly for inflating a shipping package, and a method of inflating a shipping package. The method includes providing an inflation feature and an inflation rig assembly with corresponding alignment features, positioning the inflation feature of a shipping package, in an uninflated state, on to the inflation rig assembly in a first position, moving the inflation rig assembly to a second position, such that the shipping package is in fluid communication with an expansion material source, and inflating the shipping package to an inflated state.

Information handling system packaging is formed from extruded polyethylene cut to length, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or high density polyethylene (HDPE), to define an interior coupling region that fits over the information handling system housing and an outer support region that forms an ellipse compressed by a container that accepts the information handling system housing. An opening seam formed along the entire length of the outer support region provides for deflection of the packaging to absorb acceleration forces generated by the information handling system.

Disclosed herein is a foam-in-bag dispensing system, including a dispensing apparatus operative to dispense foam precursor, the foam precursor being configured for expanding and solidifying into a polymeric foam, to a dispensing location between first and second web plies extending respectively on first and second sides of the dispensing apparatus; and a bag-status indicator associated for providing an indication to the operator indicative of the readiness of the bag for removal from the device for avoiding premature bag removal.

In a cushion supply system for a logistic center, for example a warehouse or a dispatch hall, which comprises a cushion source for providing cushion products, such as cushion pads, in particular paper cushion pads; several packing stations at which containers can be loaded with goods and filled with cushion products; and a cushion transport system, such as a belt conveyor, for transporting the cushion products from the cushion source to the packing stations, the one cushion source is configured to supply said plurality of packing stations.

Apparatus includes one or more fillable containers (35) in fluid communication with a primary channel (32), which is in fluid communication with a fluid entrance opening (31) which is attachable to a fluid source. The fillable containers (35) are made of a material that ruptures upon propelling the fillable containers (35) against a target. Each of the fillable containers (35) includes a one-way valve (33) that allows fluid to flow through the primary channel (32) into a corresponding one of the containers (35) and to seal each of the containers (35) with the fluid therein.

A method for manufacturing a compostable pod for brewing products envisages preparing a first and a second sheet made of biodegradable material with gas barrier properties, shaping the first and the second sheet so as to make at least a first and a second concave portion, filling the first concave portion with a predetermined quantity of brewing product and joining the first concave portion to the second concave portion so that the respective concavities are opposite one another and define a casing for the brewing product. The shaping steps of the first and the second sheet envisage moistening at least a first portion of the first sheet and a second portion of said second sheet, configuring the first and the second portion so as to make the first and the second concave portion and drying the first and the second concave portion.

An apparatus for forming flexible containers from a film web, dispensing fluid into the containers, and enclosing the fluid within the containers. The film web comprises a pair of juxtaposed film plies, a closed longitudinal edge at which the plies are joined, and an open longitudinal edge at which the plies are not joined.
