A handled shipping bag or sack is described that is capable of manufacture without requiring registration of the handle to a width of the bag. The shipping bag includes a cover tape having perforations particularly well suited for finger holds of a user that center the users hand relative to the width of the bag without requiring a registration of the finger holds relative to the bag during the manufacture of the bag.

A woven plastic bag is made by longitudinally feeding flat-lying fabric web having a layer of woven-together plastic strips on a first face, opposite longitudinal edge regions spaced transversely from each other and each extending over about 10% of a transverse width of the fabric web, and a middle section between the longitudinal edge regions. A pattern is applied the first face of the fabric web in a pattern that repeats along the production direction only locally with a coating in the form of a film or in the form of a liquid plastic of a width or shape that varies transversely, and the fabric web is shaped into a fabric tube. In order to form individual woven plastic bags, the fabric tube is cut transversely into pieces of the fabric tube suitable for subsequent filling and sealing.

A package for protecting consumer goods from damage in transit is provided. Such package is defined by a sheet material, such as recycled polyethylene terephthalate felt and other recycled plastics. Edges of the sheet of material are bonded to form a package defining an open top end configured to receive fragile consumer goods therethrough. Means for cinching the open top end around or about the goods, either partially or completely are provided. The sheet of material may define some thickness that provides padding or cushioning between any item stored with the package and any items outside of it. It is contemplated that the packaging may be reused indefinitely to protect items such as glass bottles and others from damage which might otherwise occur between the point of sale and its intended destination.

A web material made of a woven fabric is divided into web sections by tear lines. The tear lines weaken the web material without causing a complete separation of the web sections from the web material. The web sections are separable from the web material by being torn off along the tear lines. Cuts are formed in the woven fabric along transverse sections of each tear line, the transverse sections running essentially transversely to the longitudinal extension of the web material, which cuts are spaced apart from each other and are oriented in the longitudinal direction of the web material or transversely to the transverse section of the tear line, with the cuts being connected to only one transverse section of the tear line.

A fabric bulk bag and a method for constructing the same, the bag including a continuous sidewall, a top portion, and a bottom, all defining a bulk storage space therein; the bottom further comprising eight sides which define an octagonal shape having an enlarged footprint so that the bag wall is sewn to the bottom in less time than a round shaped bag, yet when filled stands more upright with less tendency to lean than the current square shaped bags thereby providing a safer more dependable stacking bulk bag. In the method of producing the fabric bulk bag, the bag is constructed in less time than the prior art round bottom bags, uses less wall fabric than prior art square bottomed bags and when constructed and filled, supports itself more stable on a floor or pallet because it provides substantially more base for the product to rest on. In other embodiments, the bag would be multi-sided with greater than four sides.

A disposable beverage bag, filled with beverage material, for use in preparing a beverage in connection with single-serve beverage brewing machines. The beverage bag is preferably made from environmentally-friendly woven or knitted materials that are biodegradable, compostable and/or recyclable, or any other suitable stretchy, water-permeable, eco-friendly material. The beverage bag offers an easy, convenient, cost-effective and mess-free way to prepare beverages, and easy, eco-friendly disposal. The beverage bag can be configured to work with any beverage brewing machine, and it can be filled with any suitable beverage material, including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. An adapter comprising a gasket and plug can be installed in the beverage machine to allow for the beverage bag to be used without the need for a reusable cup.

A cotton-based single use grocery bag for carrying groceries or other items. The single use grocery bag is also used for cleaning furniture, cleaning counter tops, washing dishes, etc. The single-use grocery bag may include the a body made of a cotton gauze material defining an internal compartment between a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, a top, and a bottom, wherein the internal compartment is accessed through an opening at the top; the first side and the third side each comprise edges coupled together at a bottom portion of the body and separated at a top portion of the body; and the separated edges define a gap communicating the internal compartment with an outside of the body, wherein each gap is entirely disposed downward relative to the top and the opening and communicates the internal compartment to the external environment.

A reusable food storage bag manufactured from material which is sewn to form a bag with an opening and has been soaked in a solution containing bees wax, oil, and resin. Also, a method of making a reusable food storage bag comprising the steps of obtaining a piece of rectangular material, folding the material in half lengthwise, double folding side edges of the material in a tapered fashion, and soaking the material in a solution comprising bees wax, oil, and resin.

A portable waste disposal bag includes a generally round bottom section, and a generally cylindrical side section that encircles the bottom section and is attached by stitching to the bottom section. The bag also includes at least two lifting straps which are each attached by stitching to the side section. The bottom section, side section and the two lifting straps are each made from a single piece of flexible material such as woven polypropylene. The bottom section and side section form a primary waste holding section configured to hold waste products and which forms means for evenly distributing the weight of an aggregate amount of the waste products held in the primary waste holding section. The means for evenly distributing the weight is configured to be deformable into an overall generally round shape during lifting of the waste disposal bag off of a surface.

A fabric bulk bag and a method for constructing the same, the bag including a continuous sidewall, a top portion, and a bottom, all defining a bulk storage space therein; the bottom further comprising eight sides which define an octagonal shape having an enlarged footprint so that the bag wall is sewn to the bottom in less time than a round shaped bag, yet when filled stands more upright with less tendency to lean than the current square shaped bags thereby providing a safer more dependable stacking bulk bag. In the method of producing the fabric bulk bag, the bag is constructed in less time than the prior art round bottom bags, uses less wall fabric than prior art square bottomed bags and when constructed and filled, supports itself more stable on a floor or pallet because it provides substantially more base for the product to rest on. In other embodiments, the bag would be multi-sided with greater than four sides.
