A method and a device for forming stacks of packages by stacking infusion bags is disclosed. In one example, the method includes removing an individual infusion bag from a conveying stretch, on which individual infusion bags are fed, to a removal station. The individual infusion bags, guided by a vertically movable push-in device in a stacking stroke of said push-in device, are transferred into a buffer storage chute of said stack holding device. In a transfer stroke of said push-in device, which is greater than said stacking stroke, an infusion bag completing said stack of packages is raised off of said conveying stretch and transferred into a cartridge storage chute of said stack holding device.

The present invention relates to a pouch and a method for making the same. In the inventive method, which is adapted to produce pouches having a limited amount of fusible material, a heat-sealable cord is arranged on a web forming confronting side surface of each pouch. Those confronting side surfaces are fused by heating the heat-sealable cord. The present invention furthermore provides a pouch, in particular containing a brewable or extractable commodity such as tea, with a pocket defined between confronting side surfaces of a web. The pouch of the present invention can have a limited amount of fusible material as the confronting side surfaces are joined by solidified melt of a heat-sealable cord arranged in vicinity of at least one edge of the pouch.
