Both solids and liquids can be bagged using this packaging system. The typical machine is loaded with a continuous flat roll of polythene film, which has had labelling and artwork applied to the exterior or interior of the film. The film approaches the back of a long hollow conical tube, and when the centre of the plastic is near the tube, the outer edges of the film form flaps that wrap around the conical tube.  The film is pulled downward around the outside of the tube and a vertical heat-sealing bar clamps onto the edges of the film, bonding the film by melting the seam edges together.
