Marketing - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / vacuum packing and sealing machine | | Spanish term or phrase: bolsas gofradas | What do we call these kind of bags in English? They are used in vacuum packing and sealing machines. The actual sentence is:
La máquina ha sido diseñada para utilizar exclusivamente bolsas gofradas de entre 95u y 150u [micron symbol]
Having found some examples on the web, I am still not sure how to describe them. |

| | English translation:embossed bags | Explanation:
embossing, process of producing upon various materials designs or patterns in relief by mechanical means. The material is pressed between a pair of dies especially adapted to its hardness and the depth of the design needed. A felt counter or female die is employed for embossing fabrics, while metal, millboard, or cardboard is used for embossing metal, cardboard, or paper. Leather for bookbinding and wood for furniture ornamentation are die stamped while wet. Embossing differs from other relief design processes, such as repoussé, chasing, carving, and leather tooling, in being machine wrought.

Judy, the bags may or may not be embossed, of course, but they are, in most cases, for decorative (ie, marketing) reasons. And the requirements for sealing the bag are not the same for a plain (smooth) and an embossed one. |

| Grading comment Thank you! I still don't understand why these bags would be "embossed" but I can now see there are plenty of references to them.
