  • Publication number: 20020166626
    Abstract: A process for making pouches filled with a flowable material, using a vertical form, fill and seal apparatus, in which process each pouch is made from a flat web of film by forming a tubular film therefrom with a longitudinal seal and subsequently flattening the tubular film at a first position and transversely heat sealing said tubular film at the flattened position, continuously filling the tubular film with flowable material above said first position, flattening the tubular film above a predetermined quantity of flowable material at a second position and transversely heat sealing said tubular film at the second position, the improvement comprising making the pouch from a film comprising at least one layer formed from a blown film formed from a blend comprising a linear polymer of ethylene with at least one C4-C10 alpha-olefin manufactured in a single-site catalyst polymerization process, and at least one of the following
