A manufacturing method of a package bag (10) according to the present invention includes: a cured portion forming step of forming a cured portion (15a, 15b) on at least one side of a forming position of a rib (14) by crystallizing at least a portion of a resin constituting a film (11) by heating and cooling the film (11); and a rib forming step of forming a rib (14) by pressing the film (11) using concave and convex molds. According to the present invention, it is possible to maintain an opening state of a spout (12). Further, since additional material is not required, it is possible to suppress increase in the thickness of the package bag (10) and to reduce the bulkiness of the package bags.

A method for providing a web (30) of flexible, plastic packaging material with a succession of dimples (9) forming indentations for straw insertion, comprising feeding the web (30) of packaging material through a first nip (52) defined by a first pair (51) of rotating rollers, and cyclically engaging the web (30) from a first side (31) by a protrusion (55) supported by a first roller (53) of said first pair (51) of rotating rollers for forming the succession of dimples (9) in the web (30) of packaging material. The invention also relates to a corresponding apparatus and a flexible pouch package comprising a dimple.

A sack is formed by first transverse sealing seams from a foil tube, and is provided with at least a first vent channel, which runs largely parallel to the axis of the film tube, and whose inner film layer has first vent openings for venting of the sack interior into the first vent channel. A second vent channel is provided, which is connected to the first vent channel by second vent openings, and which, in turn, has third vent openings, which vent the at least one second vent channel.
