A food package having a heat-sealed cover composed of a lower plastic film and an upper plastic film which is distinct and separate from the lower plastic film is disclosed. The upper and lower films are collapsible, i.e., they can be creased and crumpled into a ball without effort or folded as a tissue paper. The lower film and upper film are heat-sealed to each other at respective perimeter edges to define a closed, watertight internal housing filled with a modified atmosphere. A tray, configured to house the food product, is inserted in the closed internal housing but is not fixed to the upper or lower film. The food packaging described herein allows a substantial reduction of plastic compared to those currently on the market, while guaranteeing its mechanical rigidity, and the long-term quality of the product. A method for producing the packaging is also disclosed.

Embodiments herein provide an automatic packager (100) for medical products. One embodiment provides an automatic packager (100) including a universal feed cassette (105) and a packaging unit (110). The universal feed cassette (105) includes a plurality of cartridge slots (130) to receive cartridges (155). Each cartridge (155) includes a reservoir (170) for storing a plurality of medical products and a wheel (180) including a bottom portion placed in the reservoir (170). The wheel (180) rotatable with respect to the reservoir (170). Each cartridge (155) also includes a scooping member (185) provided on the wheel (180) to rotate with the wheel (185) and singulate a medical product from the reservoir (170), and a funnel extension (175) coupled to the reservoir (170) and extending outward and upward from the reservoir (170).

An apparatus and process for cleaning seals of soluble unit dose pouches containing granular composition.

A thermoforming packaging machine that includes a film holder for receiving a lower film supply roll and one behind the other in a sequential arrangement along a production direction a pretreatment station for pretreating the lower film web, a forming station for forming troughs in the lower film web by thermoforming, an insertion line for filling the troughs with products and a sealing station for sealing the troughs with a top film. A transport device is configured to transport the lower film web along the production direction through the pretreatment station, further to the forming station, further to the insertion line and finally to the sealing station. A deflection unit arranged at least partially below the pretreatment station is configured to deflect the lower film web before reaching the pretreatment station. The pretreatment station may include a punching or slitting unit to punch or slit the lower film web.

A method for packaging articles (1) in blister packs (P) comprising an accommodating part (2) which accommodates the article (1) and, once the article (1) has been accommodated, is closed by a strip (5) of material, wherein the accommodating part (2) is adapted, at least in part, to the article (1) which is to be packaged.

A water soluble pouch containing a substrate treatment agent, the water soluble pouch having printed characters, and a process for making the same.

A packaging system having a packaging machine and a feeding device for the packaging machine. Packaging elements for receiving products in a predetermined format can be supplied to the packaging machine for a packaging process running thereon. The packaging machine may comprise a machine frame, at least one work station attached to the machine frame; a transport device that comprises a grouping unit for receiving packaging elements supplied by the feeding device to the packaging machine; and/or a transfer unit for transporting packaging elements received thereon to the work station. The grouping unit and the transfer unit can be brought together by way of a relative motion so that the packaging elements positioned on the grouping unit can be received by way of the transfer unit. The transfer unit may be capable of gripping the packaging elements. A method for producing a packaging as described above is also provided.
