Abstract
A method for manufacturing side fold sacks from a flat lying segment of a web of plastic tubular film provided with side folds. According to the method, the bottom end of the segment is provided in such a manner with a staggered cut or a staggered detachment along a perforation that a staggered portion is formed in which the rear wall projects beyond the front wall. Adhesive is applied to the staggered portion up to the area of a fold line, which is located adjacent the edge of the front wall that has been cut free. The staggered portion is then folded over the fold line and adhered onto the front wall to seal the bottom end of the side fold sack.

A process for manufacturing a side fold sack from a flat lying segment of a web of plastic tubular film, said segment having a rear wall and a front wall joined with side folds, the process comprising the steps of:
- providing a bottom end of the flat lying segment of plastic tubular film with a staggered portion in which the rear wall projects beyond the front wall, said staggered portion formed by providing a staggered detachment along a perforation line such that a portion of the rear wall projects beyond the side folds and a portion of the side folds projects beyond the front wall;
- applying an adhesive to upper surfaces of the projecting portions of the rear wall and side folds;
- and
- folding the staggered portion along a fold line located adjacent and generally parallel to a free edge of said front wall at said bottom end and adhering said staggered portion onto said front wall to seal the bottom end of the side fold sack.
A process for manufacturing a sack with side folds from a flat lying segment of a web of plastic tubular film, said segment having a rear wall and a front wall joined with the side folds, the process comprising the steps of:
- cutting a bottom end of the flat lying segment of plastic tubular film such that a portion of the rear wall projects beyond a bottom edge of the front wall to form a staggered portion;
- applying an adhesive to the staggered portion up to a fold line in said front wall, said fold line being substantially parallel with said bottom edge of said front wall;
- and
- folding the staggered portion along the fold line and adhering said staggered portion onto said front wall to seal the bottom end of the sack, a portion of said front wall between the fold line and said bottom edge also being adhered to said front wall.
A process for manufacturing a side fold sack from a flat lying segment of a web of plastic tubular film, said segment having a rear wall and a front wall joined with side folds, the process comprising the steps of:
- providing a bottom end of the flat lying segment of plastic tubular film with a staggered portion in which the rear wall projects beyond the front wall, said staggered portion formed by providing a staggered detachment along a perforation line such that a bottom layer of the side folds projects beyond an upper layer of said side folds;
- applying an adhesive to upper surfaces of the projecting portions of the rear wall and side folds;
- and
- folding the staggered portion along a fold line located adjacent and generally parallel to a free edge of said front wall at said bottom end and adhering said staggered portion onto said front wall to seal the bottom end of the side fold sack.
A process for manufacturing a sack with side folds from a flat lying segment of a web of plastic tubular film, said segment having a rear wall and a front wall joined with the side folds, the process comprising the steps of:
- cutting a bottom end of the flat lying segment of plastic tubular film such that a portion of the rear wall projects beyond the side folds and a portion of the side folds projects beyond a bottom edge of the front wall to form a staggered portion;
- applying an adhesive to upper surfaces of the projecting portions of the rear wall and side folds;
- and
- folding the staggered portion along a fold line located adjacent and substantially parallel to the bottom edge of the front wall and adhering said staggered portion onto said front wall to seal the bottom end of the sack.
