A form-fill-seal system includes a tube feeding system, an end seal carriage, and a computing device. The tube feeding system feeds a tube of flexible material at a first velocity. The computing device controls the end seal carriage to cause an increase in a velocity of the end seal carriage to substantially the first velocity, a start of a dwell time of the end seal mechanism on the tube of flexible material while the velocity of the end seal carriage is at substantially the first velocity, and an increase in the velocity of the end seal carriage to a second velocity during the dwell time. The end seal mechanism cuts a package from the tube during the dwell time. The increase in the velocity of the end seal carriage to the second velocity results in an increased distance of the package from the tube.

A cushion package can be formed around an object. The object can be removed from and reinserted into the cushion package. The cushion package includes a cushion material () having a longitudinal length and two longitudinal edges (). The two longitudinal edges () of the cushion material are folded into an overlapping position to form a tube of the cushion material. The cushion package includes first and second transverse seals () in the tube of the cushion material. The first and second transverse seals () respectively form first and second ends of the cushion package. Each of the first transverse seal and the second transverse seal () seals the cushion material with the two longitudinal edges () in the overlapping position. The two longitudinal edges () of the cushion material are uncoupled between the first transverse seal and the second transverse seal ().
