  • Patent number: 4151024
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for fabricating packing containers comprised of a heat-shrinkable material. A web or blank of the material is heated on one side to an extent such that the material acquires a tendency to assume a tubular shape. Overlapping longitudinal ends of the web or blanks are heat and pressure sealed to form a tubular member. The ends of the tubular member are folded inwardly under the effect of heat to form flange-like portions to which end plates may be attached to form the packing container.
