An inflatable packaging for storing multiple glass bottles made from a sheet that has a longitudinal axis and a traverse axis. The sheet is folded along six or more traverse fold lines spaced from each other to form a row of two or more pouches. The inflatable packaging can have two or more of such rows separated by a line of weakness. Each pouch has a front wall, a rear wall, a base, and an open-top for storing the glass bottle. Two adjacent pouches are separated by a dividing panel, wherein the dividing panel is corrugated in a biconcave shape.

An elongate flattened thermoplastic tube has an inflation edge and an opposite edge. The tube includes spaced transverse seals that define sides of pouches. The tube includes lines of weakness that allow adjacent dunnage units to be separated. A frangible line of connection is disposed in one two superposed layers of the tube proximate to the inflation edge. This frangible connection may be broken to permit inflation of the inflatable pouches.

A gas cushion bag includes two layers, and the two layers are overlapped with each other and partially connected with each other to form a plurality of connecting portions and at least one gas storage unit. Each of the at least one gas storage unit is sealed circumferentially and includes at least one first segment and a plurality of second segments communicated with the at least one first segment. The at least one first segment and the plurality of second segments are alternatively arranged in a first direction. Wherein as viewed along the first direction, a cross-sectional profile of each of the at least one first segment is smaller than a cross-sectional profile of one of the plurality of second segments when the at least one gas storage unit is inflated.

A process of packaging includes providing a bottom support, providing a top film, and forming a closed chamber where a portion of the bottom support, a product and a portion of the top film are housed. The further includes sealing the portion of the bottom support to the portion of the top film along a sealing band circumscribing the product to sealingly house the product in a volume and forming one or more hollow structures by sealing a part of the portion of the top film to a part of the portion of the bottom support at one or more selected seal zones. Before forming the hollow structure, the part of the portion of the top film and of the portion of the bottom support destined to form the hollow structure are maintained separate at a distance the one from the other.

The present disclosure is directed to an inflatable-cushion inflation and sealing device. The device includes an inflation assembly configured for insertion between first and second overlapping film plies. The inflation assembly includes a fluid conduit configured to direct a fluid in between the plies to form one or more cushions. The fluid conduit includes a nozzle. The inflation assembly includes a cutting member. The cutting member includes a blade holder with a blade and a blade guard mounted thereon. The blade guard has a safety position in which the blade is covered and a retracted position in which the blade is exposed. Installation of the blade holder onto the inflation assembly automatically positions the blade in the working position with the blade guard retracted. Removing the tray from the inflation assembly automatically positions the blade in the safety position by covering the blade with the blade guard.

Provided is a reusable packing box, comprising a protective box body (1) enclosed by a bottom surface and a plurality of slanted side walls, and an elastic inflatable layer (3) adhered to an inner side of the protective box body, wherein the elastic inflatable layer (3) is provided with a vent (4), and the vent (4) is embedded in the protective box body (1). The reusable packing box can reuse a packaging material and a filling material, thereby reducing the phenomenon of waste, and improving the management efficiency.

A packaging apparatus with an improved pinch roller apparatus, fluid supply apparatus, and/or a sealing apparatus. The pinch roller apparatus (e.g., comprising one or more guide and/or pinch rollers) is used to deliver film material to the fluid supply apparatus (e.g., nozzle and blower apparatus, or the like) that fills one or more chambers of the film material with fluid (e.g., air, gas, or other like fluid), and the film material is then sealed by a sealing apparatus (e.g., using one or more heating elements with an improved temperature sensor configuration) that seals the fluid within the one or more chambers in order to form the inflated article (e.g., inflated packaging material). In particular, the sealing apparatus provides improved sealing through the improved accuracy of the temperature reading in the heating zone, in part, by locating a sensor between a heating element and a protective member that covers the sensor.

An insulative packaging for cold chain marketplace. The insulative packaging includes a base unit, a wall unit, and a top unit, which together form an enclosure. Each the base unit, the wall unit, and the top unit has an inflatable liner, one or more insulative sheets, and a radiant barrier. The inflatable liner can be folded and the one or more insulative sheets can be sandwiched between the two folds of the inflatable liner. An article to be protective can be placed within the enclosure and insulative packaging can provide 360-degree insulation and protection.

The present invention provides a highly mass-productive and versatile expansion sheet body, an expansible package, and packaging method. A plurality of cells 22 defined by cell seals 41 for joining overlapped films together are arranged so as to be adjacent to each other, and a fluid is introduced from the upstream side into the cells 22, thereby expanding the cells 33. At least one of the cells 22 is provided with an unexpanded region 36 in the mid-stream section in the midway from the upstream side to the downstream side. A cell seal 41 in a region downstream of the unexpanded region 36 is provided with a connection part which permits flowing of the fluid between the cell seal 41 and an adjacent cell seal 41. The unexpanded region 36 is used as a placement part 26 for a plane sheet 25 and an overlapped part 27.

Self-pressurizing fluid deliver systems and devices and methods of using the same. An exemplary pressurized sterile fluid storage bag system referenced herein includes a foam cavity formed from a rigid, non-conforming material and an elastic, conforming material and containing a resilient open cell or closed cell foam with capabilities to restore form when compressed, an air valve, a fluid cavity formed from said elastic, conforming material on one side and a material which may be rigid and non-conforming or elastic and conforming, and a fluid valve.
