Abstract
Heat-sealed articles formed from polymer film portions heated-sealed together in selected areas forming a heat seal pattern, by passing the film portions together in a partial wrap about a heated sealing roller having a cylindrical outer surface that supports the film portions in a smooth cylindrical configuration about the roll. The cylindrical outer surface of the roller comprises a first surface portion defining a configuration corresponding to the heat seal pattern and formed of a first material having a first thermal conductivity, and a second surface portion formed of a second material having a second thermal conductivity lower than the first thermal conductivity such that only areas of the film portions in contact with the first surface portion are heat sealed together, the first and second surface portions being substantially flush with each other at the outer surface.
