A METHOD FOR MAKING POUCHES AND A POUCH AS SUCH

摘要

The present invention relates to a pouch (P) and a method for making the same. In the inventive method, which is adapted to produce pouches (P) having a limited amount of fusible material, a heat-sealable cord (76) is arranged on a web (10) forming confronting side surface (96) of each pouch (P). Those confronting side surfaces (96) are fused by heating the heat-sealable cord (76). The present invention furthermore provides a pouch (P), in particular containing a brewable or extractable commodity such as tea, with a pocket (113) defined between confronting side surfaces (96) of a web (10). The pouch (P) of the present invention can have a limited amount of fusible material as the confronting side surfaces (96) are joined by solidified melt of a heat-sealable cord (76) arranged in vicinity of at least one edge (40, 116, 117) of the pouch (P).
