Overview The Bag Seam Method Equipment Testing Global Protection

The technology behind Fusion® is patented.

Fusion isn't a variation on a sewn bag. It's a different way of building one — and the portfolio below protects all four parts of it: the stitchless bag, the heat-fused seam method, the machinery that makes the seal, and the test that verifies it.

The bag itself.

The product claims: a bulk bag whose containment area is closed by heat, not thread — including the baffle, the reinforced discharge, and lift loops that attach without piercing the bag.

US 12,552,109

Stitchless bulk bag with heat fused seams and method of production

The Fusion bag itself. A stitchless, highly-oriented polypropylene bag whose top, body, bottom, fill spout and discharge tube are all joined by airtight heat-fused joints instead of stitching.

Granted Feb 17, 2026
US 12,151,878

Stitchless bulk bag including a baffle insert and method of production

Baffle inserts heat-sealed to the bag body with a hot-melt film, using tab geometry that counters the peel forces a loaded baffle strap puts on the joint.

Granted Nov 26, 2024
US 12,054,336

Bulk bag bottom and discharge assembly including a reinforcer

A reinforcing fabric layer beneath the heat-sealed bottom-to-discharge joint that prevents failure at the square corners of the discharge opening.

Granted Aug 6, 2024
US 11,319,144

Bulk bag bottom and discharge assembly including a reinforcer

The earlier grant in the reinforced bottom-and-discharge family, covering how the reinforcer, discharge tube and bottom are overlapped and sealed.

Granted May 3, 2022
US 10,479,599

Industrial bag lift loop assembly

Lift loops carried on an intermediate fabric layer that heat-fuses to the bag — so attaching the loops never punches stitch holes through the containment area.

Granted Nov 19, 2019

The method that makes the seam.

The founding Fusion patents — the method every Fusion bag is built on.

US 12,497,214

Method of production of fabric bags or containers using heat fused seams

The most recent grant in the founding method family, continuing protection on the coated-face-to-coated-face heat-fusing process.

Granted Dec 16, 2025
US 11,858,691

Method of production of fabric bags or containers using heat fused seams

A continuation in the same method family, keeping the core heat-fused seam process protected as the line evolved.

Granted Jan 2, 2024
US 11,279,523

Method of production of fabric bags or containers using heat fused seams

Further protection on producing polypropylene bags whose seams are formed by heat rather than thread.

Granted Mar 22, 2022
US 10,974,869

Method of production of fabric bags or containers using heat fused seams

Continues the founding method — heat applied below the fabric's melting point to fuse coated faces into a seam, leaving the fabric itself undamaged.

Granted Apr 13, 2021
US 10,112,739Foundational

Method of production of fabric bags or containers using heat fused seams

The patent Fusion is built on, filed in 2014: place coated face to coated face, apply heat below the fabric's melting point, and form seams that retain at least 85% of fabric strength with no sewing machines.

Granted Oct 30, 2018

The equipment that makes the seal.

A seal is only as good as the bar that makes it. These cover the seal bar assembly, the carrier plates that run the line, and the sensorless control that holds temperature on every cycle.

US 11,945,175

Heat seal bar sensorless temperature sensing and control

Temperature control with no sensor touching the bar: the PLC reads voltage and current feedback, computes each heating element's real-time resistance, and derives its temperature from that.

Granted Apr 2, 2024
US 11,673,348

Heat seal bar sensorless temperature sensing and control

The earlier grant in the sensorless control family — the basis for holding seal temperature to a computer-controlled setpoint on every cycle.

Granted Jun 13, 2023
US 11,338,527

Heat seal bar assembly

The seal bar itself: assemblies that self-align during sealing so pressure lands evenly across the whole seal area, with a single-piece heating element.

Granted May 24, 2022
US 10,618,225

Carrier plate for use in manufacturing stitchless bulk bags with heat fused seams

The carrier plates that move parts down the sealing line — guiding placement, checking that placement is correct, and setting up tooling.

Granted Apr 14, 2020

The proof on every bag.

Fusion's quality claim rests on a test — and the test is patented too.

US 12,325,580

Lift loop assembly test process and apparatus

The most recent grant covering the peel-strength test method and the tester used to run it.

Granted Jun 10, 2025
US 11,975,915

Lift loop assembly test process and apparatus

A continuation of the lift-loop test family, protecting the process that turns a peel reading into a pass/fail on lifting safety.

Granted May 7, 2024
US 11,591,156

Lift loop assembly test process and apparatus

A hand-held tester that measures peel strength at a lift-loop heat seal as a reliable indicator of shear strength — the check confirming a bag meets the industry's 5:1 safety factor.

Granted Feb 28, 2023

Fusion is also protected internationally, alongside the registered trademark.
