Abstract:
1. A process for producing a partitioned package comprising: drawing a first web of a first film into a tubular configuration while overlapping edges of the web to produce an inner tube; drawing a second web of a first film around the inner tube into a tubular configuration while overlapping edges of the second web to produce an outer tube; filling the inner tube with a first material; filling a gap between the inner tube and the outer tube with a second material that is different from the first material; engaging only the outer tube such that the outer tube the outer tube is advanced, thereby causing the second material within the outer tube to advance and drag the inner tube along therewith at substantially the same rate as the outer tube; and constricting and sealing the advancing filled tubes at spaced apart locations and severing the sealed tubes at the seal locations to produce a package partitioning the first and second material.
