Retail dry edible beans are packaged in polyethylene film using a form‐fill seal machine. This packaging system uses a reel of polyethylene film and either forms it into a tube and then seals and fills it at regular intervals or folds it lengthwise and seals it at right angles to the fold to form a series of pockets (sachets), which are filled and closed (Uebersax et al. 1996). This package has good transparency and printability and is compliant with regulatory requirements, therefore allowing consumers to examine the color and quality appearance of the product. Figure 4.7 shows a commercial small bag bean packaging machine.
