The bags are produced on a form-fill seal machine operating horizontally or vertically. Zipper strips () are initially attached to a continuous web () which is subsequently formed into a continuous run of bags having end seals () and a back seal (). The continuous run is separated into individual bags and the zipper strips finally attached to the bag walls by application of heat and/or pressure by a belt sealer () operating in a direction perpendicular to that of movement of the continuous web.
