  • Publication number: 20190183271
    Abstract: A food bag for a food product includes a front layer and a back layer wherein the front layer and the back layer are interconnected to each other along at least one peripheral interconnection joint to form a pouch suitable to receive the food product between the front layer and the back layer through a pouch opening. The front layer and the back layer are arranged adjacent the pouch opening. A sealing means seals the pouch opening after the food product is received in the pouch. The front layer and the back layer each comprise a tear feature for separating the pouch into a first part for holding the food product and a second part. The tear feature of the front layer and the tear feature of the back layer are interconnected to each other in the area of the at least one peripheral interconnection joint.

  • Patent number: 8528306
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing pockets containing a napkin (5). To this end, two web-shaped layers (1, 2) of a flat, flexible material are moved along a transport path and held at a distance apart from one another in one section of the transport path. Napkins (5) are individually picked up from a stack and placed between the layers (1, 2). Only then, downstream of the section in the web direction, are adjacent regions of the layers (1, 2) placed in contact with one another and joined to one another. The pockets formed in this manner are cut from the web-shaped layers (1, 2). In the section, a respective napkin (5) is moved in a direction essentially at a right angle to the web direction and placed between the layers (1, 2) in a position oriented essentially parallel with the web direction.

  • Publication number: 20050047686
    Abstract: A resealable packaging bag should be produced in the simplest way and at minimal cost. It consists of flexible material and has an opening (5) at the top. Non-detachably fixed on one side of the bag is a backing (6), and detachably fixed to the backing (6) is a section (10) of a flexible material provided with a self-adhesive layer. A portion of the backing (6) and a portion of the section (10) project beyond the opening edge (14) of the bag. To close the bag, a portion (8) of the backing (6) is peeled off, and the now exposed portion of the section (10) is placed over the opening (5) and is stuck onto the opposite side (2). Used for opening and resealing is the detachably adhering portion of the section (10) which is on the portion (9) of the backing (6) remaining on the bag. The advantages are in particular that the bag can be produced from any desired material including paper and that the backing with the self-adhesive section can be a commercially obtainable self-adhesive label.
