A method of forming improved film packages of a type wherein one or more of the package ends or regions is gathered and tied closed by encircling metal bands, closure clips or other closure devices. The resultant closure of compressed film is made leak-proof by application of ultrasonic vibratory energy to the package in the vicinity of the gathered region of film. The invention in its modified embodiments further envisions elimination of present bands, closure clips or other closure devices by using instead a temporary film gathering and holding means, and then applying ultrasonic energy to the gathered region of film to form a permanent closure not requiring a band or clip.
