A strip-pack manufacturing apparatus is adapted to attach an end part of an article to a strip. The strip-pack manufacturing apparatus includes a holding part, first and second rollers, a stopper member and an adjusting part. The holding part is configured and arranged to hold and transport the article to a predetermined attaching position. The first and second rollers are arranged in a receiving position at which the holding part receives the article. The first and second rollers are configured and arranged to rotate while sandwiching the end part of the article therebetween. The stopper member is configured and arranged to control the position of the end part of the article that has been drawn by rotation of the first and second rollers to stop at a predetermined position. The adjusting part is configured and arranged to adjust a distance between rotation axes of the first and second rollers.

Strip-pack manufacturing apparatus

A strip pack apparatus is an apparatus for manufacturing a strip pack with a plurality of items attached on a backing sheet. The strip pack apparatus includes a conveying unit configured and arranged to convey the item generally in the horizontal direction, a moving unit configured and arranged to move the item from the conveying unit to a position obliquely downward on the front side in the conveying direction, and an attaching unit configured and arranged to attach the item moved by the moving unit to the backing sheet.

A method for producing a biodegradable bag and for packing a food, such as a snack food, which is required to have an oxygen barrier property and a water vapor barrier property. The biodegradable bag can be produced at a high speed by a bag making and packaging machine, which can be degraded by naturally occurring microorganisms in soil or water finally to a non-hazardous degradation product, which can be biorecycled, and which is not accumulated in nature. The biodegradable bag for packing a food comprises a laminated film obtainable by laminating in the following order: a sealant layer comprising a biodegradable polymer; a barrier layer having an oxygen barrier property and a water vapor barrier property; and a barrier layer-supporting substrate layer comprising a biodegradable polymer, the laminated film being heat-sealed in order for the sealant layer to be inside.

Biodegradable bags for packing foods available in high speed production

It is an object of the present invention to provide a display strip with which the step of attaching a product-enclosed bag is easily automated and a product-enclosed bag is easily bonded again after the bag is once detached. The present invention relates to a display strip for arranging and attaching a plurality of product-enclosed bags for the display, which comprises at least a substrate layer and a sealant layer, the sealant layer being bondable to a surface layer of the bag by thermocompression bonding and having no pressure sensitive adhesive property before the thermocompression bonding, but being bondable to the bag again owing to exposure of a pressure sensitive adhesive face in the case of peeling of the bag bonded by thermocompression bonding.

The present invention provides a display strip easy for automating the process of bonding product-enclosed bags and capable of bonding the product-enclosed bags once removed again. The present invention relates to a display strip to which plural of product-enclosed bags are displayed and bonded, and said display strip is at least composed of a substrate layer and an adhesive layer, and said adhesive layer has a layer structure of two or more layers comprising a heat-sealable polymer layer in which an outmost layer includes a resin which has substantially no adhesion at a normal temperature and is bondable to said bags and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer including adhesives in which an inner layer of the above mentioned heat-sealable polymer layer shows adhesion at a normal temperature and further, said heat-sealable polymer layer has a weakness line in the vicinity of portions at which said product-enclosed bags are bonded so that said heat-sealable polymer layer is surely destroyed to expose said pressure sensitive adhesive layer when said product-enclosed bags bonded by heat seal are removed.

Display strip and a display strip and product assembly

According to the present invention, a display strip with which the process of attaching product-enclosed bags can easily be automated and from which the product-enclosed bags can easily be detached without having their appearance degraded and a display strip and product assembly can be provided. The display strip according to the present invention is utilized to hold and align a plurality of product-enclosed bags vertically for the display. It comprises at least a substrate layer and a sealant layer with the sealant layer containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and an adhesive promoting tackifier.

Display strip and display strip and product assembly

A packaging apparatus includes a support unit having a first support shaft with a first open end portion, the first support shaft being adapted to rotatably support the film roll in a cantilevered manner; a packaging unit adapted to receive the film of the film roll supported by the support unit, the bag packaging unit being adapted to package items with the film; and a temporary holding unit. The temporary holding unit has a second support shaft that has a second open end portion, the second support shaft being adapted to support the film roll in a cantilevered manner, and a movement mechanism configured to controllably pass the film roll from the second support shaft to the first support shaft when the first open end portion of the first support shaft and the second open end portion of the second support shaft are substantially aligned.
