Zusammenfassung:An automated packaging station is configured to inflate and seal a web material. The automated packaging station includes a rail, a nozzle, and a sealing system. The web material includes a channel that is closed so that the channel can be slid over the rail. The nozzle inserts gas into the channel of the web material, which is in fluid communication with chambers to inflate the chambers. The sealing system seals closed ends the chambers proximate the channel after inflation of the chambers. A shape of the rail causes the channel and an opposite longitudinal side of the web material to diverge either before or during inflation of the chambers by the nozzle.
