A method of forming a paperboard packaging container from a rectangular body blank is disclosed, the method including the following steps: a) providing a rectangular body blank made from a laminate sheet material; b) forming a tubular container body from the rectangular body blank, the container body having a first end with a first body opening and a second end with a second body opening; c) sealing together the first and the second side edge in a but-to-but seal using a sealing strip having a sealing strip width; d) presenting the tubular container body to a crease line forming station; e) closing the second body opening by pressing a paperboard disc into the second body opening; f) forming a curled second edge by folding or rolling the second end of the container body wall inwardly; g) filling the packaging container with bulk solids; and h) closing the first body opening.

Discrete items are conveyed, preferably by a vacuum conveyor, in a machine direction toward a pair of rotating blades. A first intended target of folding, for instance a right portion of front and back panels of a diaper, travels up a ramp, raising the level of the intended target. A rotating blade passes under the intended target of folding, and folds the right portion of front and back panels of a diaper over. If desired, a second intended target of folding, for instance a left portion of front and back panels of a diaper, travels up a second ramp, raising the level of the intended target. A rotating blade passes under the second intended target of folding, and folds the left portion of front and back panels of a diaper over. The folded diaper then exits the folding system and travels downstream for further processing as desired.

A method of applying adhesive to a napkin includes spraying first and second adhesive portions on to a first surface of a napkin, and folding the napkin along a fold such that the first and second adhesive portions are brought into engagement with each other, in which the adhesive is of a type that will allow the first and second adhesive portions to separate and allow the napkin to be adhered to an object.

Apparatus and methods for producing folded edges in a film in-process, and compositions of such film are provided. A method of folding edges includes: separating a first idler roll and a second idler roll by a first distance; positioning a plurality of folding guides between the first idler roll and the second idler roll; separating adjacent sections of film having a majority layer comprising a Ziegler Natta catalyzed linear low density polyethylene copolymer resin having molecules that inherently lack long chain branching, wherein a majority of said molecules are oriented in a substantially longitudinal direction due to an induced strain, and inducing two folds with each folding guide, thereby causing an edge of each section of film to turn under 180 and cling to a bottom surface of the section of film; and moving the adjacent sections of film from the folding guides to the second idler roll.

A method for processing at least one blank for forming a carrier for a plurality of containers, the method includes obtaining at least one blank having a central panel with plurality of container openings and at least one container retention tab extending into respective container openings of the plurality of container openings, loading the at least one blank into a blank infeed assembly, moving the at least one blank from the infeed assembly to a blank processing assembly, the blank processing assembly including a forming belt having a plurality of openings extending at least partially therethrough for being aligned with respective container openings of the plurality of containers openings of the at least one blank, and moving the at least one blank to a product engagement portion of the blank processing assembly such that the at least one blank is positioned for engagement with a group of containers.

The coiled foil rolls are reinforced in their edge region by folding. The coiled foil rolls are made by supplying a foil to coiling devices; cutting the foil in a conveying direction with a knife so that at least two foil sections are created which extend in a conveying direction; folding the edge regions of the foil sections by a folding device and laying the folded sections and the remaining part of the foil section on each other; and coiling the foil sections with the coiling devices. The knife or the folding device are moved simultaneous oscillating back and forth in a direction transversal to the conveying direction during the coiling of the foil sections.
