An envelope liner template having a first panel having a pattern inscribed therein and a second panel. The second panel is positioned below the first template and attached by a fastening mechanism. The fastening mechanism is adapted to secure a decorative sheet in place between the first panel and the second panel when a cutting implement cuts through the pattern and the sheet against the second template panel to form an envelope liner.

A bagmaker interoperable with an item processor is disclosed, the bagmaker being configured to produce bags for packaging items for sterilization, such as medical instruments. The bagmaker may include a controller interoperable with a bag production device, the bag production device including a bag cutter and a heat sealer, such that tubing may be sealed and cut, such that a bag of a specified length is formed. Operation of the bagmaker may include identifying tubing corresponding to a bag width of the bag, advancing tubing to correspond with the length of the bag, sealing at least a first end of the tubing, and then advancing and cutting the tubing; ejecting the bag from the bagmaker and retracting remaining uncut tubing, wherein the retraction and ejection may occur contemporaneously or interchangeably in order.

A packaging machine has at least one carriage including a carriage body defining an internal passage dimensioned to receive a packaging sleeve, the internal passage extending along a passage axis with a passage sidewall extending therearound. A retention mechanism is configured to retain the packaging sleeve against the passage sidewall, one or more packaging subsystems are configured to perform an operation on the packaging sleeve, and a drive mechanism is configured to move the carriage to and from the packaging subsystem. Opposite ends of the internal passage along the passage axis can both be completely open from the passage axis to the passage sidewall. The retention mechanism can be configured to retain the packaging sleeve with vacuum. The packaging subsystem can include one or more of a sleeve infeed device, a sleeve spreader device, an indexing device, and a sealing device.
