A bandoleer package and method for the making thereof in which bandoleer packages can be used to hold objects that are dimensioned or relatively thick without the usual risk of damage to the object caused by burst rollers. The preferred embodiment is made by forming a tube from a first web around a card cut from a secondary web and an object to be packaged, heat sealing the tube to itself to form a bottom seam of the package and a top seam of a previous package, then bonding the edges of the tube to the card. By bonding the edges to the card, the dimensioned object is kept away from the edges, thus preventing crushing of the object by burst rollers. The second web is preferably coated with a material that facilitates bonding to the first web material. In the preferred embodiment, the first web and the coating are formed from resinous materials, such as polyethylene; but any suitable materials can be used. In another embodiment, the bandoleer package includes an adhesive stripe covered by an unperforated release liner. The packages can be automatically affixed to a substrate upon removal of the release liner and bursting of the bandoleer.

[ We claim:] [1.] A method of making bandoleer packages for dimensioned objects such that the risk of damage to the objects from burst rollers is substantially eliminated, the method comprising the steps of:A. Providing a primary web of material;B. Providing a plurality of inserts made from a substantially relatively rigid material;C. Placing a dimensioned object adjacent a respective insert, the object to be contained in a current package;D. Forming a flattened tube from the primary web that surrounds the insert and the object, the flattened tube having edges;E. Forming a top seam of a previous package downstream of the object and the insert, a bottom seam of the current package being formed by the formation of the top seam of the previous package thus forming a bandoleer of packages; andF. Bonding the tube to the insert on either side of the object in order to maintain the object in a position that is away from the edges of the flattened tube, thereby protecting the object against damage from burst rollers.
