A pouch for holding liquids includes a pre-inserted straw within the pouch. A top end of the straw is exposed by removing a portion of the pouch. For manufacture, a web of flexible packaging material, suitable for forming a pouch or bag for storing liquids, is advanced forward in a pouch forming direction. A single straw of suitable length to fit within the confines of a resulting pouch is cut from a continuous length of straw material. The single straw is placed onto the web of packaging material in a location that will be on the inside surface of a single wall of the pouch and there it is secured in place preferably by a heat seal between one side of the straw and the inside surface of the pouch wall. The resulting pouch web material, having a plurality of straws positioned along its length provides a feedstock for forming pouches with pre-inserted straws when using a so called form and fill method of forming pouches or when making pre-made pouches. The pre-inserted straw is totally enclosed within the confines of each resultant pouch and therefore eliminates the need to be attached to the outside of the pouch or be inserted into the pouch through one of the walls of the pouch.

A dual-chambered container includes a chamber which contains, for example, a dry drug and a chamber which contains, for example, a medical liquid. The chambers are defined in first and second bags, with each bag having a weak seal formed in a side thereof. The bags are formed separately and then joined to one another so that the weak seals therein are positioned so that a passageway is formed between the bags when the weak seals are forcibly broken. The chambers can be sterilized independently of each other and, consequently, the container can be manufactured in a manner which minimizes the amount of labor required.

A container strip in the form of a chain of interconnected preopened bags with openings having longitudinal dimensions of at least about 1/32 inch is disclosed. The container strip provides greatly enhanced facility for bag registration and opening during packaging operations utilizing the improved container strip. A process of forming a chain of pre-opened bags is also disclosed. Face and back plastic webs are independently fed along individual paths of travel to a common path. The webs are differentially tensioned while in their independent paths by stretching the face web more than the back web such that the face web will retract longitudinally more than the back web upon release of the web tension. While so tensioned edge seals are formed between the webs to convert the webs into a tube and longitudinally spaced transverse seals are formed between the webs to delineate bottoms of bags. Transverse lines of weakness are formed in said back web to facilitate separation of bags from the remainder of the web during a subsequent use. Tension in individual bag sections of the face web is released by forming longitudinally spaced transverse separations of the sections and thereby producing a space between each contiguous pair of sections.

An article for shrink packaging bone-in food masses such as meat cuts comprising a thin-walled heat shrinkable thermoplastic film bag and a thick-walled nonheat shrinkable thermoplastic film patch having its inner surface bonded to the bag outer surface. Both surfaces have high energy as the sole bonding means and the patch-bag bond strength increases during heat shrinking around the meat mass such that the bag portion adhered to the patch shrinks less than the rest of the bag.

A series of bags are fabricated using a continuous, high-speed bag-forming process is which an elongated section of flattened film tubing is longitudinally conveyed toward a receiving station in which the formed bags are suitably packaged. As the flattened tube is moved toward the receiving station, elongated plastic film tie elements are sequentially formed and welded along relatively large area end portions thereof to at least two layers of a side edge portion of the flattened tube at longitudinally spaced locations thereon adjacent the upper end locations of the individual bags, the resulting free end portions of the tie elements overlying the flattened tube. Each of the resulting integral tie elements may be looped around an upper end portion of its associated bag and then firmly pulled to close the bag, the resulting loop being tightened either by first passing the free end portion of the tie element therethrough or by first passing the free end portion through an aperture formed in the tie element-bag weld area. In either case the relatively large, multiple layer weld area which secures the tie element to a side edge portion of its bag provides sufficient strength so that separation of the tie element from its bag, during tightening of the loop around the upper bag end, is effectively prevented.

A multiply promotional package and method of making same, wherein the package comprises an outer layer, an intermediate layer and an inner layer joined at least at there edges to enclose the package. Either of the oppositely disposed surfaces of the outer layer may contain a defined masking or message concealing area. A second masking area is provided in register with the first masking area. The masking areas provide a means of concealing a promotional message or indicia from the exterior of the package, until such time that the package and its contents have been purchased.

A liner for use in flexible bulk containers includes a tubular body section with at least one continuous baffle strip extending around the interior circumference of the body section, with the baffle strip attached to the body section at spaced apart intervals to form baffles defining four triangular shaped corners in the body section.

An apparatus for welding a reinforcing member to a bag-like device or contraceptive device is disclosed. The apparatus includes at least one hollow mandrel. The hollow mandrel has an outer surface with an annular groove for holding the reinforcing member. The apparatus has a means for applying a closed end of the bag-like device into the hollow mandrel and an open end of the bag-like device over the hollow mandrel at the outer surface with the annular groove for welding holding the reinforcing member. The apparatus also includes a welding device for the reinforcing member to the bag-like device. A method for welding the reinforcing member to a bag-like device is also disclosed.

An in-line machine for attaching elongated, flexible closure tie elements to the individual bag portions of a laterally folded plastic film web being continuously discharged from a bag forming station, and being forcibly captured by a winder mechanism, engages and drives the moving web toward the winder mechanism by means of mutually spaced inlet, central and outlet drive rollers. During operation of the machine, first and second slack portions of the film web are respectively positioned between the inlet and central rollers, and between the central and outlet rollers. These slack portions are held in vertically looped configurations by a downwardly directed, yielding vacuum force applied thereto. The inlet and outlet rollers are driven at identical speeds corresponding to the constant linear film web output speed from the bag forming station. The central drive roller is alternately started and stopped to sequentially cause a portion of each bag to be momentarily stopped thereon, at which time the machine attaches a tie element to the stopped bag portion. During stoppage of each sequential bag portion, continued rotation of the inlet and outlet rollers lengthens the first film loop and shortens the second film loop. When the central drive roller is restarted it operates to equalize the film loop lengths. In this manner, each bag may be momentarily stopped, for tie element attachment purposes, without altering the constant output and input speeds of the bag forming station and winder mechanisms, and without imposing undesirably high longitudinal tension force on the plastic film web.
