Abstract: A vertical form, fill, and seal packaging system may comprise a source of flexible thermoplastic packaging material, a tubular folder, a product dispenser of the tubular folder, and a side sealer. The source of flexible packaging material in an elongated thin flat strip of material may comprise successive flat package blanks as integral longitudinally contiguous sections. The tubular folder may be adapted to receive a strip material and progressively forms in passage to a depending and upwardly open tubular configuration, with opposite longitudinal edge portions of the material being progressively juxtaposed in a passage so as to extend in vertical and parallel directions. The product dispenser of the tubular folder for discharging measured quantities of materials may be through a fill tube extending downward into an interior of the depending tube of packaging material through an upwardly open end.
