- the invention further relates to a flat, unfilled gusseted bag according to the preamble of claim 8, which can be formed in particular by the aforementioned method.
- the gusseted bag is usually formed from plastic film, wherein in particular multilayer laminated films are suitable for the production, in which case the films on an inside of the gusseted bag have a heat sealable inner layer and an outer surface of the gusseted bag forming outer layer, wherein in a laminated film also an internal imprint may be provided which is produced prior to laminating.
- one of the two gussets can be provided with the reclosing device, with which the gusset can be fixed and closed in a folded state between the front walls, wherein the gusset can be folded outwardly by opening the reclosing device to a chute form.
- a transversely extending top seal seam is provided above the reclosing device in a filled gusseted bag, the must first be partially demolished, cut or peeled for a first opening with a corresponding head section.
- EP 1 620 321 B1 Side gusseted bags as well as methods of manufacture are made of EP 1 620 321 B1 .
- gusseted bags have a reclosure with a single self-locking reclosure strip on the inside of the bag at a gusset and adjacent the gusset also extends to the two front walls and which connects the gusset with the two front walls. Starting from a center line of the gusset one wing, so one half of the corresponding gusset with the first front wall and the other half of the gusset is connected to the second front wall.
- the length of the reclosure strip on the two front walls can be different according to the prior art as well as in the context of the invention.
- the reclosing strip on the front walls can also extend beyond the corresponding gusset, so that then adjacent to the gusset, the two front walls are directly connected to each other, whereby a larger discharge opening is provided.
- the reclosure extends only over part of the entire width of the front walls.
- a connection line extending in the longitudinal direction of the bag or in the transverse direction of the bag, in particular a heat-sealing seam, can be provided laterally to the reclosing strip in order to delimit the opening.
- the front walls and the side folds are formed by folding from a single film web. From a gusseted tube with the front walls and the side gusses individual gusseted bags or corresponding blanks are then separated, each having a reclosing device.
- gusseted pouches are then separated from the gusseted tubing, wherein a filling can take place directly in this case, which is then a so-called FFS process (Form Fill and Seal).
- FFS process Form Fill and Seal
- prefabricated gusseted bags can first be formed which are not yet closed on at least one side and can then initially be stored and transported to a packaging location. Such gusseted bags are then filled separately and sealed.
- a bag string of successive, connected bag blanks is formed.
- a first film web is guided in the production direction.
- a film strip is fed, wherein the edges of the film strip are folded over on a central portion.
- the edges are usually the same width, with a gap remaining between the edges after folding.
- pieces of film strips are applied at a uniform distance transversely to the production direction (ie along the bag longitudinal direction) on the first film web before a second film web is fed in the production direction, with which the first film web and the pieces of film strips are covered.
- a lower edge of the gusseted bag can be closed with a transverse sealing seam, but then a uniform placement of the gusseted bag is not possible. Rather, such a gusseted bag tends during filling, its transport and its storage to a tilt when it is to be placed on its lower portion as a floor.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for producing a gusseted bag, the gusseted bag should have a good stability and a high-quality appearance. Furthermore, it is also intended to specify a flat, unfilled gusseted bag with a reclosing device, which can be produced in particular in the method according to the invention.
- the invention and solution of the problem are a method for producing a gusseted bag according to claim 1 and a flat, unfilled gusseted bag according to claim 8.
- the gusseted bag is usually on all bag surfaces, ie on its front walls, its gussets and also the separate film section printed as bottom on the outside of the bag or provided with a visible on the outside of the bag inside print.
- the inner surfaces of the gusseted bag are formed by a sealable layer, which is usually monochrome, in particular white.
- the foil section and the lower edges of the front walls and gussets are trimmed within the scope of the invention, this trimming preferably taking place simultaneously with the separation of individual gusseted bags from the gusseted tube.
- the method according to the invention is carried out in such a way that, when the folded-over section is folded back, the second connecting seams, with which the separate film section is connected to the side folds, run transversely parallel to the first connecting seams, for which purpose the folding back is suitably controlled got to.
- the separate film portion When folded back along a straight line, the separate film portion would extend along the first seams in the transverse direction and along the second seams in the longitudinal direction of the gusseted hose, which also includes trimming accordingly would be necessary to avoid “lightning" both in the transverse direction and in the longitudinal direction of the gusseted tube.
- the folding back is performed and controlled so that the gussets are inserted over their entire length again between the front walls, whereby then the separate film section in the gussets multilayer is superposed, so that then the lower end of the gussets again in line with the lower ends of the front walls, so that there also the first connecting seams and the second connecting seams can be cut together by a single cut in the transverse direction.
- This pruning is also called pruning.
- a double cut along two transverse cutting lines is performed below the separate foil section provided as a bottom.
- a first cut line of the double cut forms the upper edge of the subsequent bag.
- the distance between the two cutting lines of the double cut can be, for example, between 1 mm and 20 mm, in particular between 2 mm and 10 mm.
- the incisions may conveniently be formed in the still flat web of material, but then in the folding then tearing must be prevented and the web is to be guided with appropriate care. In principle, it would also be conceivable to use only one material web To provide weakening line or perforation, which is then further separated later.
- the gusseted tube is arranged on the web at a uniform distance and at a uniform distance to the incisions transverse to the direction of production reclosing strip, which after forming the gusseted tube at one of the gussets and each over a part extend the two front walls, which is then formed in the context of the method according to the invention, the gusseted bag described below with a reclosure on the first gusset.
- the reclosure strip expediently extends at the front walls at least over a width which corresponds to half the width of the associated gusset. In such an embodiment, only a connection of the two wings of the gusset with one of the front walls takes place. If the reclosure is carried out beyond the gusset area, the two front walls can also be connected directly to each other in certain areas.
- the reclosure strip extends in all cases only over part of the front walls.
- the method can also be used to attach carrying handles which are expediently arranged on the side fold which lies opposite the reclosable strip.
- a heat-sealing seam may be provided, wherein such a heat-sealing seam is preferably formed in the region of one of the side edges.
- all side edges can be provided with a heat-sealing seam in order to improve the stability of the side gusset bags that are formed. If the material web is welded at one side edge to a circumferentially closed tube, supernatants can also be provided there, which are trimmed, that is cut off.
- the first front wall is preferably folded over at a fold line spaced from the incision in such a way that the distance of the fold line from the incision corresponds approximately to half the width of the side fold.
- the front wall is then folded as far as possible, whereby the exposed gusset, starting from a central crease line at an oblique angle of 45 ° to the outside.
- the separate sheet section for forming a flat bottom for each gusseted bag is conveniently attached to the front panels and gussets with heat seal sutures.
- the sealing at the gussets can be done easily on the flattened gusseted tube.
- the corresponding generation of a transverse sealing seam preferably in the raised state.
- the invention is also a flat, unfilled gusseted bag with two opposite front walls, a first and a second gusset, which extend opposite each other along a bag longitudinal direction and each connect the two front walls together.
- a reclosing means having at least one reclosing strip is provided, which is arranged in the region of the first gusset, extends along a transverse direction of the bag only over part of the width of the front walls and allows the folding out of the first gusset to form a reclosable chute.
- the flat-lying, unfilled gusseted bag is in particular produced by the manufacturing method described above and characterized in that for forming a flat bottom, a separate film portion is provided, which is connected via first heat-sealed seams with lower ends of the front walls and second heat-sealing seams with lower ends of the gussets, said Film portion is disposed between the front walls such that the first heat-sealing seams and the second heat-sealing seams along the bag transverse direction are arranged parallel to each other.
- the gusseted bag according to the invention is characterized by a particularly advantageous handling.
- the reclosing device on the first gusset With the aid of the reclosing device on the first gusset, it can be fixed in a folded state after a first opening, in which case the two wings of the first lateral gusset are respectively fastened to one of the two front walls.

- the gusseted bag can be emptied controlled by an inclination by a user, with just a precise removal of subsets is possible, in which case the remaining contents is protected by the reclosing device.
- the gusseted bag may for example have a filling volume between 1 l and 50 l, in particular between 2 l and 30 l.
- the gusseted bag is particularly suitable for receiving bulk materials such as pelleted pet food, detergent, cat litter, road salt and powdery or granular construction materials.
- a top seal seam is usually provided above the reclosing device prior to initial opening, which seals the side gusset bag tightly.
- a top seal is then torn off to expose the underlying recloser and allow the chute to fold out and reclosure.
- the reclosing device comprises at least one reclosing strip, which preferably runs exactly in the transverse direction of the bag.
- the reclosing device it is possible for the reclosing device to have a plurality of separate reclosing strips which can be locked together. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the reclosing device has a single, continuous and self-locking reclosable strip.
- Such a reclosing strip can be particularly easily placed on a flat web of material during manufacture, in which case only folding of these reclosing strip in the desired position on the gusset is arranged.
- the reclosing strip may have either continuous closure formations or a plurality of individual interlockable closure elements.
- the reclosing strip may have either continuous closure formations or a plurality of individual interlockable closure elements.
- grooves, projections as well as hook-shaped curved strips can be considered as a continuous closure formation, which strips together or with one another Lock yourself.
- Corresponding structures can be extruded, for example, as a strand, wherein the closure formations are usually arranged on a heat-sealable support section or extruded in one piece with the heat-sealable support section.
