Abstract: A method for quality assessment of a sealing section of a package, wherein the package includes at least a robustness layer and a plastic layer. The sealing section is formed by holding a first section and a second section of the package against each other while providing heat such that the plastic layer of the first and second section melt and thereby provide for that the first and second section adhere to each other. The method includes capturing image data depicting the sealing section using a camera, identifying a reference line in the image data, identifying a sealing section boundary line in the image data, determining a sealing section assessment feature set based on the reference line and the sealing section boundary line, and comparing the sealing section assessment feature set with a reference feature set.

Abstract: A packaging material for producing a sealed package of a pourable food product is provided. The packaging material can include a first set of crease lines configured to form an upper end of the package when the packaging material is folded along said first set of crease lines, a second set of crease lines configured to form a bottom end of the package when the packaging material is folded along said second set of crease lines, and a third set of crease lines, said third set of crease lines being separated in order to define longitudinal panels extending in between said third set of crease lines. The longitudinal panels can include a first panel having a horizontal crease line, and a second panel arranged adjacent to said first panel when the package is formed, the second panel having at least one vertical crease line.
