Ultrasonic method of producing a score in a thermoplastic film pouch

摘要

A method of creating a score in a pouch formed from a thermoplastic film is described. Ultrasonic energy is used to create the score in a film that is later formed into a pouch. The score can be used to open the pouch by pulling opposite sides of the scored area. The ultrasonic force is applied to the film as a part of a downstream process in a blown film manufacturing line to produce the pouch.
