ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for packaging sanitary medical sponges which are deformable articles of a shape generally disposed in a flat plane with a stacked array thereof contained between two webs of packaging material, wherein the sponges are formed on a machine, they are delivered in a fixed number of at least two sponges from the machine in a stacked array with the planes of the sponges vertically disposed in a side-by-side relationship. Two webs of the packaging material are converged into a substantially V-shaped vertically disposed reception slot adapted to receive the stacked array of sponges. They are dropped into a reception slot so that the stacked array is substantially wedged therebetween. The webs of packaging material are synchronously moved a distance toward the slot to form a pocket between the webs as the stacked array is received thereinto for moving the stacked array away from said slot and for containing and packaging the stacked array and stopping the webs to receive a further stacked array between the webs. The webs are sealed about the stacked array of sponges to form a package and the packages are separated from the web between stacked arrays to form individual packages.
