Abstract
Zigzag-shaped pouches are formed from flexible web material by positioning two portions of the web material in overlying relation and sealing them together along top, bottom, and opposite side edges of the pouch. The side edges of the pouch are made up of a plurality of linear segments connected end-to-end and alternately inclined in opposite directions to form a zigzag-shaped edge. Each linear segment of one edge is substantially parallel to a corresponding segment of the opposite edge, such that the two edges are substantially complementary in shape, whereby the pouch as a whole has a zigzag shape.
