Abstract
The air in a bag which has been filled with a content is first removed by pressing to flatten the surface of the bag. The bag is then transported and supported in such a manner that it assumes an arc shape having a fixed curvature with which the convex surface of the bag is permitted to be opposed to the convex surface of a printing plate at a position just below said plate. Under these conditions, the surface of the bag is clearly printed. The apparatus for effecting the printing method of the present invention comprises a pressing device for pressing the bag, a printing plate mounted on a plate cylinder of a rotary letter press and detector for causing the plate cylinder to be rotatively driven and the rotation thereof to be stopped.
