Abstract

A method of making a packaging bag from a wrapper sheet includes the following steps: forming a continuous sleeve from the wrapper sheet; forming a longitudinal seal inward of and adjacent to a longitudinal folded edge of the wrapper sheet by bonding overlapping longitudinal edge portions of the sleeve to one another; forming a transverse seal bonding overlapping sheet portions to one another; cutting a tear-open slit through at least three layers of the wrapper sheet in the transverse seal in an area of intersection with the longitudinal seal; transversely severing the sleeve to provide a packaging bag having an open end spaced from the transverse seal; charging the packaging bag with goods through the open end; and forming an additional transverse seal bonding overlapping sheet portions to one another for closing the open end.
