Method and apparatus for making reclosable bags

摘要

Methods and apparatus for eliminating unattached remnants or tails (70,72) of bag making film (2) adjacent a string zipper (4) during manufacture of reclosable bags. Gathered film tails may interfere with slider insertion or slider operation or may cause the film to be pulled off of or peeled away from the string zipper during slider operation. After trimming, the tails (70,72) of the film are welded to the zipper (14) by conductive heat sealing or equivalent means.
