A method (100) for making a flat bottom bag (800) with a valve (28) is provided. The method (100) includes overlapping and sealing the two longitudinal edges (11a and 11b) of a web (10) to form a continuous tube (12). The method includes cutting-off the continuous tube into tube pieces (14) in accordance with desired bag length such that each tube piece (14) has at least a first open end (18) and a second open end (22). The method (100) includes forming a first pair of flaps (F1, F2) and a second pair of flaps (F3, F4) on the first open end (18) and the second open end (22) respectively. The method (100) includes providing a valve (28) on the second pair of flaps (F3, F4) on the second open end (22). The method (100) includes folding and flattening both the pairs of flaps (F1, F2 and F3, F4) so that the edges of the flaps meet at the centre. The method (100) includes sealing a pre-cut cover patch (30) onto the folded and flattened pairs of flaps (F1, F2 and F3, F4) to close the open ends (18, 22). Reference Fig. 1 |
