Method for closing a flexible material package, said method comprising the following steps:
- a. positioning a reinforcing element, having a flat shape that can be sealed on both faces of the reinforcing element, at an upper mouth of said package between a front wall and a rear wall of said package;
- b. sealing a first area close to the upper mouth of said package so as to block said reinforcing element and close the upper mouth of said package by means of the reinforcing element wherein said step a. of positioning is carried out so that the reinforcing element partially protrudes from a first sealed surface outside of the package;
- and
- c. cutting along a line adjacent the reinforcing element so as to provide a facilitated opening for forming a handle of the flexible material package, wherein the line is at least partially positioned adjacent to and below the reinforcing element.
