A system for packaging one or more articles surrounded by a tubular web moving downstream along a path includes a first station having a tacking jaw at a first downstream location along the path. The tacking jaw is movable between a first open position and a second closed position for sealing a central portion of the tubular web between the one or more articles. The first station also includes two tucking blades at the first downstream location on opposite sides of the tacking jaw and the tubular web. The tucking blades are movable toward one another for forcing the sides of the tubular web toward the central portion of the tubular web while the tacking jaw is in the closed position. The system also includes a second sealing station downstream from the first sealing station including a sealing jaw substantially perpendicular to the path of the tubular web. The sealing jaw extends completely across the tubular web and is movable between an open position and a closed position for completely sealing the tubular web between the articles. In preferred embodiments, the one or more articles and the tubular web is initially moved downstream along the path at a first rate of speed, whereby the first station and the second station travel downstream at successively slower speeds than the first rate of speed.

A bag filling machine of the type having a discharge spout with clamps to hold a bag mouth on the spout is disclosed as incorporating gusset pleat gripping assemblies on opposite sides of the spout. Each of those assemblies has a pair of cooperatively actuable gusset gripping members operable between open and closed positions to selectively and independently grip each of the two gusset pleats on opposite sides of a gusset bag and to pull those pleats apart to fully open positions. This increases the effective, material-receiving area of the bag mouth as it is opened with the opening of the spout to dispense granular material into the bag. A gusset tucker is also utilized on each side of the discharge spout in cooperative juxtaposition to the gusset pleat gripping assemblies. The gusset tuckers are moved inwardly towards each other and towards the bag to engage in the fold between the two gusset pleats on each side of the bag as the bag top is flattened to a closed position after being filled on a spout. This action of the gusset tuckers insures that the gusset pleats will be fully returned to their normal shape with a complete V-fold therebetween, after the bag has been spread open by the gusset gripping members.

A method and apparatus for vacuum-packaging and heat sealing a soft product, particularly a soft product comprised substantially of fabric or other similar sheet material (referred to herein as "soft product"), having a substantially impervious outer covering in an impervious packaging barrier bag, which provides a packaged product which is compact and uniformly shaped. An air flow panel is inserted between the barrier bag and the product to permit air flow between the impervious layer of the soft product and the impervious layer of the barrier bag such that there is even air flow from the barrier bag during the evacuation of air from the barrier bag during vacuum-packaging. A packing frame is used during vacuum-packaging which assists in creating a compact, uniformly shaped vacuum-packed soft product.
