Abstract:
1. A method of forming a bag having a reclosable sealer associated therewith, the method comprising: providing a laminated material comprising at least one of a polymeric material, a metal foil material, and a paper material; forming a tube body from the laminated material, wherein the laminated material defines an inner surface of the tube body and an outer surface of the tube body and the tube body includes an open end, a closed end, a first wall extending between the open end and the closed end, and a second wall extending between the open end and the closed end and being positioned to face opposite the first wall; providing a reclosable sealer comprising: attaching the reclosable sealer to the tube body on an outer surface of the first wall adjacent the open end, the reclosable sealer being attached to the outer surface of the first wall such that the first adhesive layer of the first portion of the reclosable sealer bonds the reclosable sealer to the outer surface of the first wall and the paper layer of the second portion of the reclosable sealer creates an outwardly facing surface; positioning a bonding material on the outwardly facing surface of the second portion of the reclosable sealer; and positioning a protective disposable layer over the bonding material thereby protecting the bonding material until the open end of the tube body is closed and an outer surface of the second wall of the tube body is brought into contact with the bonding material to close the bag.
