In the process, a strip of containers made of a heat-formable material is guided through a deviated course in a transversal direction with respect to a main horizontal line of advance, in which the strip of containers undergoes, in sequence, a first rotation of a quarter of a full turn about a vertical-axis first guide, a first twist by half a full turn, a second rotation, by half a full turn, about a second guide having a winding axis which is parallel to the line of advance, returning towards the line of advance, a second twist by another half a full turn, and finally a third rotation about a vertical axis third guide. With this process, the longitudinal extension of the line of advance is reduced. |

A packaged baked food item, and a method for forming it, are disclosed. A film is laid over a tray containing moulds and a portion of dough deposited onto the film over each mould. The dough is baked to form an item having a face moulded by the inner surface of the mould and with the film conformed to it. A second film is extended over the first film and the films attached to each other to at least partially enclose the baked food item between the first and second films as a package. The first film may be pre-formed to the shape of the moulds prior to depositing the dough and baking. The method provides a means to facilitate packaging baked items, with a package mimicking the moulded shape of the underlying item, and may also be used to reduce the need for resurfacing of baking trays with non-stick layers. |

A modular attachment is provided to attach to a packaging machine for forming a vent opening in a packaging film used for packaging an item via a packaging machine, and attaching a semipermeable or permeable vent covering material over the vent opening. The vent opening with the attached vent covering material may allow for sterilization of medical devices, medical equipment or other medical supplies while packaged within the packaging film. The modular attachment may include features for forming the vent opening in the packaging film during delivery of the packaging film for use in the packaging process, delivering the covering material to the location of the vent opening, cutting the covering material to size for covering the vent opening, and attaching the vent covering material to the packaging film so as to cover the vent opening. |
