A method and apparatus for registration of a seal to a perforation on a plastic bag include a drum for forming a seal on a continuous plastic film and a downstream perforator/cutting station for forming a perforation on the film with respect to the location of the seal. The perforation is properly registered to the seal by sensing the seal location directly, with a seal sensor located near the perforator/cutting station.

[ The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:] [1.] An apparatus for making plastic bags from a continuous film of material wherein the film of material, follows a film path through the apparatus, comprising:a sealing drum having at least one seal bar for imparting transverse seals to the film at regularly spaced intervals;a downstream processor;a seal sensor disposed near the film path between the seal drum and the downstream processor, wherein the seal sensor senses a seal location and provides a seal signal indicative of the seal location;means for intermittently disabling the seal sensor and for enabling the seal sensor; anda controller coupled to the downstream processor for controlling a location on the film on which the downstream processor acts, and further coupled to receive the seal signal, wherein the controller controls the location on which the processor acts in response to the seal signal.
