The front ends of the packaging film 3 are held by a pair of heaters 6A, 6B for front end sealing and fused with heat. One heater 6B for front end sealing is transferred to the crossing direction with the axial line of the forming tube 1 to fold the front end of the heat-fused packaging film 3. And further, the folded part of the front end of the packaging film 3 is held between the heater 6B for front end sealing and the front end of the forming tube 1 by the cooperation thereof and fused with heat to form the flat bottom. |
