Abstract

A method is disclosed for forming a package of a non-weldable material on a vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) machine or a horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machine. The method comprises providing a continuous web of the non-weldable material having exposed areas of adhesive. In an embodiment the method is implemented on a VFFS machine that has a fill tube designed and configured to avoid interaction with the adhesive exposing areas of the web.In a preferred embodiment the adhesive exposing areas are formed by providing a repeating pattern of sets of apertures in the web, and fully covering each set with a label that is coated with adhesive.
