Securement of a pad to the inside of a bag

A method for securing a pad to a bottom of a bag, comprising:

• (a) extending a strip of material across the pad with an intermediate portion of the strip of material extending over the pad, with two opposed portions of the strip of material each extending beyond opposite ends of the intermediate portion beyond the pad, and with portions of the pad extending beyond edges of the strip of material on opposite sides of the intermediate portion so that such extending portions of the pad are not covered by the strip of material and are exposed;
• (b) affixing the two opposed portions of the strip of material to a bag material to thereby secure the pad to the bag material;
• and
• (c) folding the bag material and pad along a common fold line to form the bottom of the bag.

A method for making bags comprising:

• (a) advancing a web of sheet material in a longitudinal direction;
• (b) placing individual pads on the web disposed at longitudinal spacing to one another and placing a continuous strip of material onto the web such that the strip of material extends longitudinally across each pad, each pad having a portion extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction beyond opposite sides of the portion of the strip of material extending thereover so that such extending portions of the pad are not covered by the strip of material and are exposed;
• (c) affixing portions of the strip of material extending between the pads to the web thereby securing each pad to the web;
• and
• (d) taking-up the web having pads secured thereto to form a stock roll for later use.

A bag making method comprising:

• (a) placing a pad adjacent a bag material;
• (b) placing two strips of material across the pad with an intermediate portion of each strip of material extending over the pad and at a spacing to one another, and with two opposed portions of each strip of material each extending beyond opposite ends of the intermediate portion thereof beyond the pad;
• (c) affixing the two opposed portions of each strip of material to the bag material to thereby secure the pad to the bag material;
• and
• (d) folding the bag material and the pad secured thereto along a common fold line to form a bottom of the bag.

• and
• (c) affixing portions of each strip of material extending between the pads to the web thereby securing each pad to the web.
• (d) taking-up the web having the pads secured thereto to form a stock roll for later use.
