Abstract: In a method of forming a coated bag for pre-treating an item stored in the bag, a bag is provided, having a sidewall extending from a closed bottom end to an open top end and defining an interior surface of a cavity. The bag is expanded from a flattened condition to an expanded condition. At least one adhesive dispenser is inserted through the open top end of the bag into the cavity. An adhesive is applied from the at least one inserted adhesive dispenser to form an adhesive coating on the interior surface of the cavity. A particulate dispenser is inserted through the open top end of the bag into the cavity. A particulate is discharged from the inserted particulate dispenser to embed the particulate in the adhesive coating. The adhesive coating is dried to retain the embedded particulate on the interior surface of the sidewall.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a seasoning bag, an edible adhesive is applied to a panel of a bag in a pattern of spaced apart lines. A granular seasoning is applied to the panel of the bag such that the granular seasoning adheres to the edible adhesive pattern to produce a seasoning layer having a pattern substantially the same as the edible adhesive pattern.

Abstract: A method of transferring an edible image to a substrate includes mounting a printing plate having an image to a roller; depositing an edible adhesive on the image; transferring the edible adhesive to a substrate; and depositing an edible coating on the adhesive coated substrate thereby transferring a mirror copy of the image onto the substrate. The method may further include placing the edible image in contact with foodstuff and applying pressure or a vacuum to transfer the edible image to the foodstuff. The edible image can be placed onto a foodstuff and light pressure or vacuum can be applied to transfer the image. The foodstuff can be held under pressure or vacuum until the image has transferred.
