Definitions

  • the present invention relates, generally, to wicketed bag manufacturing bag processes and, more particularly, to methods of making wicketed bags having secondary or external compartments, such as kangaroo pouches, and the like.
  • Wicketed bags have traditionally been used for packaging an assortment items, such as purchased consumer products, newspapers, magazines, advertising flyers, and other commercial materials.
  • Printed materials are typically widely distributed to large numbers of customers at both residential and commercial locations.
  • external compartments have been added to the wicketed bags.
  • the external compartments or pouches are used to enclose various articles, such as advertising literature and product samples, and the like.
  • newspapers are delivered to subscribers in wicketed bags configured to include sealed pouches for enclosing additional articles. It is common in the newspaper industry to have the product samples or printed materials inserted into a kangaroo style pouch.
  • the kangaroo pouch is either formed on, or an integral part of, a lower portion of the wicketed bag.
  • the newspaper distributors receive the wicketed bags having articles already sealed in the pouches. The distributor then inserts the newspapers into the wicketed bags for delivery to subscribers.
  • wicketed bags are fabricated by high-speed bag machines, known as wicketer machines. These machines operate at a high speed using a roll of plastic film that is known in the industry as a web. The web is processed in the bag machine to form a compartment. The web is first folded to produce a bottom edge and then cross sealed and cut to form individual wicketed bags. Once the wicketed bags are formed, they can be suspended from a wicket holder for delivery to a media distributor or other user.
  • the wicketed bags having the external compartment are fabricated, articles, such as printed materials or advertising samples are inserted into the external compartments.
  • the bags can have articles inserted into the external compartment immediately after fabrication, or the bags are transferred to a third party for insertion of the articles into the external compartment.
  • the placement of the articles into the external compartment is typically carried out by hand or by an automatic insertion process.
  • the compartment may or may not be sealed and the wicketed bags are delivered to a media distributor, such as a newspaper distributor, for placement of newspapers in the larger internal compartment of the wicketed bag.
  • the process of fabricating wicketed bags having articles enclosed within an external compartment involves first fabricating the wicketed bag and the external compartment, then inserting articles in the external compartment or delivering the wicketed bag to a third party, who then inserts articles into the external compartment.
  • the insertion of articles is typically done by hand, after which the external compartment may or may not be sealed.
  • the bags containing the articles are shipped to a marketer or a media distributor for further use.
  • the distributor inserts newspapers or advertising into the wicketed bags for delivery to a customer or subscriber.
  • a wicketed bag fabrication and packaging process includes forming a continuous series of wicketed bags. A plurality of articles is provided, and the articles are attached to the wicketed bags.
  • a method for fabricating wicketed bags includes folding a web to form an outer surface and articles are provided and attached to the outer surface.
  • a method for fabricating wicketed bags includes feeding a continuous web at a web feed rate and folding the web to form an outer surface. A continuous series of articles are fed in substantial synchronization with the web feed rate and continuously attached to the outer surface.
  • a method for fabricating wicketed bags includes providing a web having an outer surface and providing a plurality of individual articles. The individual articles are sequentially attached to the outer surface.
  • a packaging process includes forming a continuous series of wicketed bags at a bag process rate.
  • a continuous bandolier of pre-packaged articles is fed in substantial synchronization with the bag process rate, and the pre-packaged articles are continuously attached to the wicketed bags.
  • a packaging process includes forming a continuous series of wicketed bags at a bag process rate. A continuous roll of pre-packaged articles is fed in substantial synchronization with the bag process rate, and the pre-packaged articles are continuously attached to the wicketed bags.

  • external compartment 36 can be closed by a perforated seal, glue seam, and the like.
  • External compartment 36 can be attached to outer surface 38 of wicketed bag 34 using attachment techniques similar to those described above for attachment of external compartment 12. Further, external compartment 36 can be attached to outer surface 38 along the entirety of an interface 48 between external compartment 36 and outer surface 38 of wicketed bag 34. Alternatively, external compartment 36 can be attached to outer surface 38 at only an upper portion of the interface, or at regular or irregular intervals along interface 48. In the illustrated embodiment, external compartment 36 is attached to wicketed bag 34 at flap seal 46.

  • the wicketed bags and pre-packaged enclosures are separated into individual units, they can be shipped to distributors for insertion of desired articles into the internal compartments, such as internal compartment 22 of the wicketed bags. Since articles are already pre-packaged in the external compartments, the distributor or other user does not have to provide facilities and personnel for inserting articles into the attached enclosures. Once the process in accordance with the illustrated embodiment, no further action is required by a user to insert articles into the external compartment.
  • automated means can also be carried out for inserting articles into the internal compartments of the wicketed bag for ultimate delivery to subscribers or to customers.
