Abstract
A bagmaking and packaging machine packages articles with a film. The bagmaking and packaging machine includes a laser printing device and a receiving member. The laser printing device prints on a printed surface of the film. The receiving member is disposed so as to oppose a non-printed surface on the opposite side of the printed surface of the film. The receiving member has a reflection suppressing surface. The reflection suppressing surface suppresses regular reflection of laser light emitted by the laser printing device.

A packaging apparatus configured to package articles with a film, the packaging apparatus comprising:
- a laser printing device configured to print on a printed surface of the film;
- a receiving member disposed so as to oppose a first surface on an opposite side of the printed surface of the film at a position located across from the laser printing device;
- a cover that is disposed around the laser printing device and is configured to obstruct passage of the laser light emitted by the laser printing device, the cover including a door for maintenance of the laser printing device;
- a detector configured to detect whether the door is open or closed;
- and
- an emission control unit configured to control the emission of the laser light by the laser printing device,
- wherein the receiving member has a reflection suppressing surface configured to suppress regular reflection of laser light emitted by the laser printing device, and
- the emission control unit is configured to stop the emission of the laser light by the laser printing device in a case where the detector is detecting that the door is open.
