  • the distance is expediently chosen so that no reefing results from the re-closure at the bag longitudinal edges, even if longitudinal sealing seams are provided there.
  • the reclosure extends over the greater part of the width of the first front wall, so that a large removal opening is formed.
  • the removal region can be formed by punching out a section of the first front wall, so that then the reclosure with the slider over its entire length is directly freely accessible.

  • the ratio of the height measured in the bag longitudinal direction to the depth determined by the side folds is less than 3: 1, in particular less than 2.5: 1.
  • a relatively broad and in the direction of the tensioned side folds deep foil bag is thus provided with a low standing height.

  • the ratio is a length of the head portion along the bag longitudinal direction to the height of the filling space less than 1: 3.
  • a shortest possible length of the head portion is also for practical reasons of advantage. Since the head portion is provided with the carrying handle, this stands upwards so that the foil bag can be easily lifted by a user on the carrying handle. The head section is therefore a dead space with respect to the storage of the film bag, which is why the head section is to be kept as small as possible.
  • the height of the head section is typically between 45 mm and 100 mm, in particular between 55 mm and 80 mm, up to an upper edge of the bag.
  • the front walls and gussets are formed by folding and heat sealing from a portion of a bag film.
  • a bag film is usually formed in a multi-layered manner, wherein the bag film has a heat-sealable layer on the basis of polyolefin on the inside of a bag and on a bag outside of an outer layer.
  • the sealing layer is expediently heat-sealable in order to close the film bag on the circumferential side, to be able to form longitudinal and transverse sealing seams and also to be able to fasten further devices such as the resealing by heat sealing.

  • the outer layer is less heat sealable compared to the sealing layer, for which the outer layer may have a higher melting or softening temperature. In the case of a heat-sealing of the bag film, it is then achieved that, although the sealing layer is melted through the outer layer, if appropriate, without the outer layer being excessively deformed or losing its structure.
  • the outer layer may in particular be formed from polyester, in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET), such an outer layer usually being oriented.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • Other suitable materials for the outer layer are, for example, polyamide, polypropylene or polylactic acid, wherein these materials also preferably have an orientation caused by a stretching, which leads to a reduction in the tendency to fusion in a heat-sealed.

  • One of the connection lugs 16 is fastened below the removal region 11 on the inside of the bag to the first front wall 1a by a heat-sealing seam, while the other connection lug 16 is sealed over an additional foil section 18 above the removal region 11 on the inside of the first front wall 1a.
  • the reclosure 3 is supplied as a prefabricated unit in the manufacture and sealed, including according to the Fig. 3 a circumferential, closed frame-shaped sealing seam 22 can be produced.
  • a head seal 24 is formed with the connecting seam 5 frame-shaped, wherein the punched handle 7 is disposed within this frame-shaped head seal 24.
  • Fig. 1 has the film bag compared to the determined by the gussets 2 depth t a relatively low standing height h, wherein the ratio of measured in bag longitudinal direction l standing height h to determined by the gussets 2 depth t less than 3: 1, in particular less than 2 , 5: 1 is.
  • the ratio of the width b measured between the gussets 2 on the front walls 1a, 1b to the standing height h is between 1.5: 1 and 1: 1.5.
  • Fig. 3 In the Fig. 3 is indicated that the wings of the gussets 2 are connected by fixing points 19, to avoid there a gaping of the gussets 2.
  • the fixing points 19 can be formed by adhesive.
  • openings 20 can also be formed in the wings of the lateral folds 2 ( Fig. 4 ), through which the two front walls 1a, 1b are directly connected to each other, so that a fixation of the gussets 2 takes place.
  • the filling volume of the film bag is usually between 4 l and 20 l.
  • the depth t between 100 mm and 200 mm, for example 150 mm
  • the width b between 250 mm and 450 mm, for example, 350 mm
  • the standing height h between 250 mm and 450 mm, for example, be 350 mm
  • the stand height h results from the height of the filling space 4 and the height of the overlying head portion 6.
  • the front walls 1a, 1b and the side folds 2 are usually provided with a print.
  • the print can be arranged completely inside lying as a counter pressure in a laminated bag film.
  • the embodiment shows an alternative embodiment in which a print is applied from the outside to the outer layer of the bag film.
  • first printing portions 21 a are dull, while second printing portions 21 b are glossy. This is achieved by arranging the second printing sections on an outer layer of PET inside, that is to say at the transition to an adjacent film layer, while the first matte ink printing sections 21a are applied to the opposite, exposed side of the outer layer.
  • a core layer of PET is metallized.
  • the matt color and the printing ink are usually not provided in mutual coverage, but in different areas.
  • the carrying handle 7 usually extends between the gussets 2, in which case the gussets 2 are not integrated into the carrying handle 7. Furthermore, it is preferred that the reclosure 3 as well as the removal region 11 arranged in front of it have a distance from the longitudinal bag edges 9, but nevertheless superimpose the side gussets 2 running underneath at their edges.
  • the flattened unfilled foil bag blank according to the Fig. 3 initially completely formed and closed at its head, in which case filling takes place at the lower edge of the bag before the bottom seam 14 is then formed to close the film bag.
  • the Fig. 4 shows a preferred method to the in Fig. 3 To form the foil bag blank shown.
  • a material web of a bag film is guided with a sealing layer and an outer layer in a production direction P, wherein the sealing layer in the Fig. 4 is above.
  • the areas on which the two side gussets 2 and the two front walls 1a, 1b are subsequently formed are also indicated on the material web, even if the material web is initially completely flat.
  • the removal areas 11 are formed at a uniform distance, for which purpose an area is stamped out for the slides 12 of the reclosures 3 and an adjacent strip 13 is perforated.
  • openings 20 are punched, with which subsequently the gussets 2 are fixed to the head portion 6, that the two front walls 1a, 1 b are connected directly through the openings 20 through each other.
  • the reclosure 3 described above is placed on the sealing layer of the bag film and secured by a frame-shaped sealing seam 22, whereupon the bag film is converted by folding knife to a gusseted tube 23, on which the longitudinal sealing seams 10 are generated, the edges of the gusseted to the side 23 folded bag film on one of the longitudinal sealing seams 10 are connected to each other.
  • a head seal 24 is formed in the shape of a frame, wherein the head seal 24 comprises the connecting seam 5, which the in Fig. 1 and 2 shown filling space 4 separates from the head portion 6.
  • carrying handle 7 are then formed inside the head seal 24, wherein simultaneously or subsequently bag corners 25 are removed at the level of the carrying handle 7 and individual foil bag blanks are separated from the side fold tube 23.
  • Fig. 5a and 5b show that the film bag blank thus formed spreads at its lower edge, filled and then closed by the bottom seam 14.
