  • Patent number: 11465394
    Abstract: A plastic film composite for film packaging with an oriented outer film and a sealing film which differs from the outer film, both of which outer film and sealing film are either polyethylene-based or polypropylene-based. The outer film and the sealing film are connected by a polyolefin-based extrusion lamination comprising at least one layer. A film packaging comprising the plastic film lamination and a method for the production of packaging containers uses the plastic film composite.

  • Publication number: 20220048678
    Abstract: A packaging bag has a bag body on a paper basis, which has front walls that lie opposite one another, side walls arranged between the front walls, and longitudinal edges that connect the front walls with the side walls. A material section that forms the assigned front wall and a material section that forms the assigned side wall, are connected with one another on the longitudinal edges to form a reinforcement fold that runs in the longitudinal direction, by way of a fixation layer that borders on each longitudinal edge. The fixation layer assigned to at least one of the reinforcement folds is an adhesive layer, wherein regions of the bag body between the reinforcement folds are free of an adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 9926107
    Abstract: A side-gusset bag made of a plastic film/fabric laminate has front and rear panels formed of the laminate. Side gussets between the front panel and the rear panel, each formed with a pair of flanks meeting at a center fold, and each connected to the front panel and rear panel at respective edge folds. A lower end flap of the front panel and the flanges between the front panel and the rear panel having respective lower edges that are stepped to form exposed lower edge regions covered with glue such that, when folded rearward along a lower edge of the rear panel, the glue on these lower edge regions directly engages a rear face of the rear panel and secures the lower edge regions to the rear panel to form a bottom gusset.

  • Patent number: 9809354
    Abstract: A woven plastic bag is made by longitudinally feeding flat-lying fabric web having a layer of woven-together plastic strips on a first face, opposite longitudinal edge regions spaced transversely from each other and each extending over about 10% of a transverse width of the fabric web, and a middle section between the longitudinal edge regions. A pattern is applied the first face of the fabric web in a pattern that repeats along the production direction only locally with a coating in the form of a film or in the form of a liquid plastic of a width or shape that varies transversely, and the fabric web is shaped into a fabric tube. In order to form individual woven plastic bags, the fabric tube is cut transversely into pieces of the fabric tube suitable for subsequent filling and sealing.

  • Publication number: 20150078684
    Abstract: A side-gusset bag has a front panel, a rear panel, and side gussets between the front panel and the rear panel and connected to the front panel and rear panel by edge folds. The plastic film/fabric laminate has a polymer film on an outer surface of the bag and a fabric connected to the polymer film and made of polymer ribbons on an inner surface of the bag. A flap of the front panel and side gusset flaps between the flap of the front panel and the rear panel are folded onto the rear panel to form a bottom gusset to which they are connected. Corner weld seams bond the fabric surfaces of the side gussets on the inner surface of the bag to the adjacent fabric surfaces of the front panel or rear panel and an acute angle toward the bottom gusset.
