The present invention discloses a method of making a non-biodegradable flexible packaging substrate biodegradable. The method comprises the steps of (i) providing a substrate web from an unwind to a coating station (402), (ii) applying thin layer of uniform deposition of a curable coating on atleast one surface of the substrate partially or completely by the coating station wherein the external surface of the substrate is essentially coated, (iii) curing the coating applied on the substrate web by a curing unit, and (iv) collecting the coated substrate web in roll at rewind. Further, the thickness of the thin layer of uniform deposition is in the range of 0.01gsm to 10gsm. Representative drawing
Abstract:
A method (100) of making an integrated handle (304) on at least one side gusset (308) of a flexible package (300) is provided. The method (100) includes steps of sealing a handle patch (222) on at least one half width of the side gusset laminate (218). Further, the method (100) provides parallel openings on the handle patch (222) such that a centre line of the two parallel openings coincides with centre lines of each half of the side gusset laminate (218). A cover patch (226) is sealed over the handle patch (222) overlapping the edges of the handle patch (222) and simultaneously with the side gusset laminate (218) ail around, such that a predefined area is left unsealed between the two parallel openings. The longitudinal edges of the side gusset laminate (218) are folded such that the handle patch (222) comes on the outer surface of the continuous open tube (242) being formed. The continuous open tube (242) is thereby used for manufacturing the flexible package (300).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of making re-closable package (10) and a product made therefrom. The said method comprises providing a first web (46) and a second web (50), folding a predetermined portion (P) of the first web (46) into a V-shape (58) thereby forming an extended portion and cutting the V-shape (58) of the first web (46) to form a pair of extended panels (62). A re-closable zipper (42) sealed with the extended panels (62). The first web (46) sealed with the second web (50) at a first sealing zone (SZ1) and second sealing zone (SZ2). Subsequently, cut the first web (46) and the second web (50) at the first sealing zone (SZ1) thereby obtaining a re-closable package (10). The said re-closable package (10) comprising a first panel (14), a second panel (18) and optionally side gussets (22, 26) and a bottom gusset (30).
Abstract:
A tamper evident structure (10) for flexible packages is disclosed to include a slider- zipper assembly (100) and a tamper evident diaphragm (200). The slider- zipper assembly includes a slider (102) engaged with a zipper (104). The zipper includes a longitudinal male element (106) engageable to a longitudinal female element (108), a first flap (114) and a second flap (116) extending downwardly along the respective length from the longitudinal male and the longitudinal female element. Further, the tamper evident diaphragm includes a plurality of temperature sensitive ribs (202) configured along the length on an outer surface thereof, and a pressure sensitive weak line (204) configured centrally along the length of the tamper evident diaphragm. The tamper evident diaphragm is sealed to the zipper in such a manner that a first end portion and a second end portion of the tamper evident diaphragm is respectively sealed to the first flap and the second flap, forming the tamper evident structure for the flexible packages.
Abstract:
A laminated woven bag is provided for packaging and storing of bulk products. The laminated woven bag can be re-closable and re-openable. The bag provides temper proof evidence by a zipper slider assembly (5a, 5b) with diaphragm (6) and/or filler tape (9) or a sealed tape. A separate narrow polymer strip or laminate or fabric is stitched on the inside surface of the front wall and back wall, at predetermined position from the bottom end of the bag. The opposite surfaces of this strip ring are sealed by thermal sealer to close the bottom end of the bag. A handle (13) is attached to the bag for easy carrying of the bag. A method for making a laminated woven bag is also provided. The bag is made from continuous running laminated woven web and not from the woven tube. In case of web form 100% area can be laminated from one edge to the other edge of the web, across the width. This improves the quality of lamination on the entire surface of the web.
Abstract:

The method in the present invention also produces packages with good dimensional accuracy. The apparatus in the present invention is provided for making three side gusset package with improved method of feeding side gusset tube and feeding bottom gusset along with web registration of bottom and side gusset to have printing perfectly.located and aligned on package surfaces such that the images or graphics can be printed partially on front side & back side, continuing over side and bottom gusset surfaces.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a vertical form-fill-seal machine for making a pouch having security against counterfeiting. The machine comprises a packaging substrate unwinder holding a flexible packaging substrate web, a security strip assembly, a tube forming assembly, a hopper, and a horizontal sealer. The security strip assembly comprises a security strip unwinder, a webs sealer unit and a web joint pressing unit. The security strip assembly makes a joint web of a security strip substrate web and the flexible packaging substrate web by sealing a first overlapped area of second longitudinal edge of the strip substrate web with first longitudinal edge of the packaging substrate web. The security strip substrate includes security features on complete or partial area of the strip substrate. The forming assembly forms a closed tube. The horizontal sealer seals bottom and top of the formed tube in sequence after filling products through the hopper.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a process of manufacturing biodegradable PET chips, comprising the steps of providing a purified terephthalic acid (PTA) in a predetermined quantity in a slurry tank; providing virgin monoethylene glycol (MEG) in a predetermined quantity in the slurry tank; transferring the combination of the slurry tank to an esterification reactor for esterification of the combination in the reactor at above 250°C temperature which releases monomers; transferring the monomers from the esterification reactor to a polymerisation reactor; providing poly-catalysts such as, but not limited, to Ti-based catalyst, sb2O3 or any other suitable catalysts or combination thereof into the polymerisation reactor; and polymerization of the monomers in the polymerisation reactor at above 280°C temperature, wherein an enzyme based composition is provided either at PTA / MEG stage or poly-catalyst stage or at other stages or combination thereof.
