摘要：A packaging method and apparatus wherein each product is packaged byenveloping the product in flexible packaging material. A programmed microprocessorcalculates the length of flexible packaging material needed to package the product

based on the physical dimensions of the product, calculates the weight of the flexiblepackaging material needed, and calculates a total package weight as the sum of theweight of the product and the calculated weight of the flexible packaging material. Aprinter prints information specific to the product that is being packaged onto a label thatis then affixed to the flexible packaging material prior to the product being packaged.The information can be a function of the package weight, and the calculated total

package weight can be communicated from the microprocessor to the printer. Finally, theproduct is packaged in the flexible packaging material having the label already affixedthereto.
