A method for producing enveloped electroscopic filter material can include feeding, from a main spool, at least one sheet of electroscopic filter material in a first direction, feeding, from a pair of spools, sheets of cover material in the first direction such that each spool feeds a sheet of cover material along a different side of the sheet electroscopic filter material, sealing, via a pair of heat-sealing roller nips, the at least one sheet of electroscopic filter material and the sheets of cover material periodically together to form sealed portions, and cutting, via a cutting mechanism, each sealed portion to produce envelopes of electroscopic filter material. The at least one sheet of electroscopic filter material can extend to the outermost edges of each envelope such that each envelope comprises substantially the same dimensions as the at least one sheet of electroscopic filter material.

The present invention relates generally to the field avoiding the disposal of small pieces of packaging material into the environment. In particular, the present invention relates to flexible pouches. Proposed are flexible tear-open pouches that after opening stay in one piece. This avoids that the small torn-off pieces of packaging are disposed into the environment after opening. Embodiments of the present invention relate to a flexible pouch that is sealed with seals and on the back of the pouch with a finseal, and that comprises a tear starting point that is located essentially opposite of the finseal.

A web (8) of cleaning products (10) and a method of manufacturing the same is disclosed. The web includes first (20) and second carrier (30) sheets and a plurality of pouches (50) containing a cleaning composition. Each of the pouches is disposed in a respective depression (26) formed in an upper surface (28) of the first carrier sheet. A first internal atmosphere (80) is enclosed within each of the pouches. The first carrier sheet is sealed to the second carrier sheet such that a second internal atmosphere (82) exists between the second carrier sheet and the plurality of pouches. The second internal atmosphere has a greater absolute pressure (P) than the first internal atmosphere so that the plurality of pouches and at least a portion of the cleaning composition in the plurality of pouches are compressed into the plurality of depressions in the first carrier sheet by the second internal atmosphere.

A web of cleaning products and a method of manufacturing the same is disclosed. The web includes a carrier sheet having a plurality of depressions each filled, and in direct contact with, at least one cleaning composition. A plurality of internal lids that correspond with the plurality of depressions are sealed to the carrier sheet in a manner covering the plurality of depressions. Additionally, a plurality of external lids that correspond with the plurality of internal lids are sealed to the carrier sheet and cover the plurality of internal lids. The carrier sheet and external lids may be made of a water-resistant material, and the internal lids may be made of a water-soluble material. In one embodiment, the internal lids may be omitted, and instead the depressions be filled with water-soluble pouches, each of which contains a respective dose of a cleaning composition.

A method is disclosed for forming a package of a non-weldable material on a vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine or a horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machine. The method comprises providing a continuous web of the non-weldable material having exposed areas of adhesive. In an embodiment the method is implemented on a VFFS machine that has a fill tube designed and configured to avoid interaction with the adhesive exposing areas of the web.

In a preferred embodiment the adhesive exposing areas are formed by providing a repeating pattern of sets of apertures in the web, and fully covering each set with a label that is coated with adhesive.

The spout-equipped container includes a container and a spout. The spout includes a spout main body, an opening body accommodated in a cylinder of the spout main body, an activating body which moves the opening body, and a hermetically-sealing sheet which covers an inner opening which fronts an accommodating unit in the spout main body. The opening body is formed so as not to be get out of the spout main body, is formed so as to move toward the hermetically-sealing sheet, and has its center where a spout through hole is formed. The hermetically-sealing sheet is formed so as to be partially torn by the opening body to make the accommodating unit of the container and an outer opening of the spout main body communicate with outside via the spout through hole of the opening body, and is formed so that an accommodated substance is poured outside.
