Abstract: A packaging device includes a resin film, a covering device, and a heating device. The film includes a welding portion containing a hot melt adhesive and is capable of being welded to a portion to be welded. The covering device covers, with the film, at least a part of a packaging object placed on a base formed of corrugated cardboard and at least a part of the base. The heating device heats a contact portion with the base in a state in which the welding portion of the film is in contact with the base. When heat is added by pressing the welding portion against the base, the hot melt adhesive in the welding portion melts and bonds the corrugated cardboard and the film. Polar functional groups introduced into the surface layer of the film are mixed and combined with the functional groups contained in a fiber of the base.

Abstract: A controller of a label creating apparatus obtains label information corresponding to a shape of a label to be created. When the controller does not obtain a first detection signal but obtains a second detection signal, the controller determines, based on the second detection signal and the label information, whether the label having a first shape related to the obtained label information is creatable from a pair of one first portion and one second portion. When the controller obtains the first detection signal, the controller controls a conveyor and a cutter to cut the pair of the one first portion and the one second portion, at a cutting position related to the label information, based on the first detection signal regardless of the second detection signal obtained after obtainment of the first detection signal.

The largest dimension of the one and another second portions is greater than a first length of the one first portion in a tape widthwise direction. A first connecting portion connects between the first-side end portion of the one first portion and a second-side end portion of the another second portion. The first connecting portion has a first connecting length in the tape widthwise direction at a first position. A second connecting length of the first connecting portion in the tape widthwise direction at a position nearer to a center of the one second portion than the first position is greater than the first connecting length and less than the second length.
