ABSTRACT:
A small article packaging apparatus is provided and comprises a housing which is subdivided into six separate working areas. An elongated conveyor strip is fed sequentially through each of the six working areas while an elongated closure strip is fed through and covers the conveyor strip in the final three working areas. The first working area includes labeling means for imprinting desired indicia on the conveyor strip while indentation means at the second work area forms an indentation in the conveyor strip. The desired small article or articles are placed within the indentations formed in the conveyor strip at the third working area while the fourth working area includes means for sealing the conveyor strip to the closure strip in a closed loop encircling the indentation in the conveyor strip. The fifth working area includes means for simultaneously incrementally advancing the joined conveyor and closure strips through the respective work areas. The last work area includes means for cutting the joined conveyor and closure strip between adjacent indentations thereby forming individual packages from the conveyor and closure strips. The labeling, indenting, sealing, and cutting means are synchronized in their operation while the advancing means is asynchronous with these aforementioned means.
