1. A system for semi-automatically closing flexible containers, comprising a continuous deformable web and a semi-automatic device for closing containers with said web, wherein said device comprises a frame having a slot for receiving an open end of one container at a time, feeding means for feeding said web, cutting means for cutting said web and deforming and closing means,
wherein labels are integrally joined to said web and are arranged at a substantially constant distance from each other, to form a labeled web having a predetermined cross-section, said cutting means being configured to cut said web into sections whose length is equal to said distance and to form individual labeled clips while keeping said labels between said sections, said deforming and closing means being coordinated with said cutting means to deform and close each labeled clip around the open end of one container at a time, while keeping said labels centered on each container, said frame having a substantially horizontal plate which has at least one vertical stiffening wall a passage which extends along said wall and has a greater cross section than said labeled web having said labels to avoid any deformation of labels of the labeled web as the labeled web is being fed.
