Definitions

  • the invention refers to a method and apparatus for packaging any kind of product in flexible containers and containers thereof.

In the case where the film is winded flat, it passes a single fold (pillow bag) or a "W" shaped triple fold (stand-up container ⁇ . After folding, and prior to the point where the film is grabbed by the transport belts, an optional label and zipper can be inserted between the folded sides of the container.

Moreover the container object of the present invention presents innovative ways of applying a label and a reclosable device. Summary of invention

  • the two faces of the packaging material used to manufacture containers similar to these of the invention have different properties; the inner surface will be in contact with the product to be contained, and the outer surface acts as printing medium to carry products information and advertising. As a consequence, it is usually difficult to weld the outer surface. As, a result, the "W" shaped bottom is not welded in the outer surface resulting in an anaesthetic look, and poor container self-standing properties.. To. overcome this problem, prior to first folding
  • a set of aligned perforations is made, by a perforating device formed by two pairs of. transversally aligned perforations (35) . Therefore, when folding, the inner surfaces of faces (.22) and (23) will be in direct contact, trough holes (35) allowing a perfect weld where the perforations are present, keeping the two sides of the bottom "W” welded together, This is the achieved by the perforation device (37) at the area assigned for the base of the container to allow the welding of the inner side of the folded base, in cases where the external surface of the container material cannot be sealed by heat, and a folding device (1) to form a "W" shaped container base.
