A package includes a first pouch and either a second pouch or a cover, where the pouches are configured to contain a product, such as a food product, and attached relative to each other about a hinge. The package includes at least one closure flap. The first and second pouches or first pouch and cover are movable about the hinge from a closed position where access is at least partially blocked by the closure flap toward an open position where the closure flap is separated to allow greater access. Methods of manufacturing such packages are also provided.

A mailer machine including a mailer supply station (e.g., a rotary mailer supply station, a linear mailer supply station, a non-linear mailer supply station, or the like) and a handling station operatively coupled to the mailer supply station. The mailer supply station provides, on a selective basis, mailers having different attributes. The mailer supply station of the mailer machine provides for movement of magazines with respect to a robot in the handling station that may have a distal end secured in a stationary and fixed location. As such, different magazines with dissimilar mailers may be moved to a picking location adjacent the robot, as dissimilar mailers are required. Further, the mailers within the magazines may be moved to a pre-determined pick-up location such that the robot is repeatably picking a mailer from the pre-determine pick-up location.

A sealable bag assembly for food delivery including a first and second panel joined at respective sides by an opposed pair of side panels. The first and second panel each including a lip portion extending upwardly from adjacent upper edges of the side panels therebetween that terminate at respective upper edges thereof that are in the range of at least about to about 1 above the side panel upper edges. A single use closure adhesive strip is disposed and oriented substantially laterally across an interior surface the lip portion of the second panel. A top edge of the adhesive strip extends vertically proximate to the upper edge of the second panel lip portion, and extends downwardly at least about to about 1. Upon the lip portions being oriented in a closed condition, the adhesive strip on the second panel lip portion contacts an interior surface of the first panel lip portion, sealing the respective lip portions together as a unit.

A bale bagging apparatus for wrapping a bag around a bale of compressed material includes a base frame member having a first end and a second end, a transportation system, a bale chute and a bag retrieval system. The transportation system is provided to transport a bale through the bale chute having a bag for wrapping the bale. Additionally, the bale bagging apparatus has the bag retrieval system to position a bag from a first position to a second position to a third position, where in the third position an open end of the bag is positioned around the output end of the bale chute when the bale is transported by the transportation system through the bale chute.
