Abstract

An in-line process for packaging flavor pieces includes printing a flavor slurry onto an advancing bottom barrier web in desired shapes and patterns of flavor pieces. A top barrier web is laminated over the printed flavor slurry joining the top and bottom barrier sheets with a series of closed form seals surrounding one or more the flavor pieces. Die cuts through the laminated web separate combinations of the sealed flavor pieces. Gaps in the seals registered with die cuts allow the two barrier webs to be locally separated for accessing the flavor pieces. The bottom barrier web can be affixed to a pressure-sensitive label stock for attaching one or more combinations of sealed flavor pieces to other substrates.
