A folding wedge device for a bag packaging machine for continuously adjusting a bottom fold of a bag, comprising: a feed area for continuously feeding a flat packaging foil; a discharge area opposite the feed area for discharging the packaging foil folded centrally by means of the folding wedge device, a folding wedge with two folding wedge strips converging towards one another in a wedge shape from the feed area to the discharge area for deflecting the packaging foil; a counter tip arranged behind the folding wedge strips in the conveying direction of the packaging foil for inserting the bottom fold between the packaging foil sections folded centrally on top of one another, the folding wedge strips having end sections pointing towards the counter tip; wherein a lateral distance between the end sections of the folding wedge strips is infinitely adjustable.

An origami envelope and a method of constructing the origami envelope are enclosed. The origami envelope is quadrilateral in shape. The origami envelope comprises a top layer having a front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface, and a bottom layer having an exterior side and an interior side opposite to the exterior side. The top layer extends to the exterior side of the bottom layer over a portion of the top envelope side to form a closure flap at the exterior side of the bottom layer.

An insulated container assembly includes an outer box defining a box cavity; and an insulated insert positioned within the box cavity, the insulated insert including a pair of opposing side panels including a first side panel and a second side panel; and a pair of opposing main panels including a first main panel and a second main panel, the first main panel connected to the first side panel by a first crease line, the second main panel connected to the first side panel by a second crease line, the second main panel connected to the second side panel by a third crease line, the pair of opposing side panels and the pair of opposing main panels defining a top end and a bottom end of the insulated insert, the first crease line, the second crease line, and the third crease line extending from the top end to the bottom end.

The present invention is directed to a process for manufacturing a flexible package suitable for containing a food or beverage ingredient and suitable for use with a food or beverage preparation machine, wherein said process comprises punching a flexible flat blank sheet between a plunger and a cavity that are movable relative to one another. According to the invention, the plunger has a concave end side and convex lateral sides, and the profile curvature of its end side is identical to the profile curvature of each of its lateral sides.

An envelope is configured to hold, support, and protect an article such as a blood bag during transportation under cryogenic temperatures. The envelope includes a single piece component (e.g., a monolithic component), including multiple panels that are configured to fold to form an enclosure that surrounds the article such as the blood bag for support and protection of the article such as the blood bag.

The product efficiency of bags each with an end face part is increased. A panel webs is guided to be divided along a line of weakness of the panel web and to be folded along division edges of the panel web. This guiding of the first panel and temporary sealed sections cause a side gusset to be cut open along a line of weakness of the side gusset such that open surfaces are formed. After the forming of the open surfaces, an end face web is supplied to be superposed on folded parts of the panel web and the open surfaces of the side gusset.

Methods of making vents in containers made from flexible materials, including forming vent openings in a first flexible material, forming vent stand-offs on a second flexible material, and combining the flexible materials to form a vent passage for the flexible container.

Pouch including an insulation pad (100) including two juxtaposed cellulose-based sheets (110, 112) and a cellulose-based insulation material (120). The two juxtaposed cellulose-based sheets are laminated together with the cellulose-based insulation material located therebetween. The pouch further includes transverse fold lines (134) in the insulation pad. The pouch further includes two W-shaped folds (140) in the insulation pad. The two W-shaped folds are formed by folding the insulation pad along the transverse fold lines. Portions of a first longitudinal edge (116) of the insulation pad are coupled to each other between the two W-shaped folds in the insulation pad.
