An example milk storage system and associated methods are described. The example milk storage system includes a milk storage bag with a body forming an inner chamber for receiving milk. The milk storage bag includes a first closure mechanism extending across the body and separating the body into a bottom section and a top section. The milk storage bag includes a preperforated section formed in both the first and second side walls of the top section of the body and spaced from edges of the top section. The preperforated section is removable from the top section of the body to form an opening extending through the top section. The milk storage system includes a hanging apparatus including a mounting section and an extension protruding from the mounting section. The extension passes through the opening in the milk storage bag to support the milk storage bag in a hanging orientation.

Methods for making tip bonded formed laminates are made from multiple layers of formed substrates made from films which are bonded together at the tips of their formed protrusions. Tip bonded laminates can be designed with greater resistance to bending, improved resilience to compression, and can be patterned for directionally oriented responses to tensile loads. Also, tip bonded formed laminates made from multiple layers of formed substrates can use their layered structure to provide better aesthetics as well as better physical properties such as improved puncture resistance. Tip bonded formed laminates can be configured with thicker portions and designed patterns, which are appealing to consumers. A tip bonded formed laminate can be made from two or more formed substrates and can be used instead of a single, thick, unformed, substrate, so the laminate can use about the same amount of material, while still providing surprising functional benefits.

An apparatus for securing a package includes a flexible tear-resistant bag and an anchor system for securing the bag to a substrate. The bag includes a receptacle defining a package receiving space and a closure mechanism connected to the receptacle for selectively closing the receptacle. The anchor assembly includes a housing, a fastener, and an anchor securable to the substrate. The housing may be positioned in the package receiving space with the fastener extending through the housing and the receptacle and matingly received in the anchor. A door of the housing may be secured in a closed position to limit access to the fastener. In some embodiments, the bag of the apparatus may also be provided with an alarm system so if an unauthorized entry is attempted by cutting the tear-resistant bag the alarm system will emit an alerting signal.

An apparatus includes a housing, first handles, second handles and zippers. The housing may be (i) made of a flexible material and (ii) have compartments. The first handles may be (i) attached to an end of the housing and (ii) configured to hang the housing in an upright orientation. The second handles may be attached to another end of the housing. The housing is generally configured to bend such that the first handles are aligned with the second handles to facilitate carrying of the housing. The zippers may be configured to provide an opening into a corresponding compartment suitable to pass recyclable beverage containers. Each compartment may have (i) a zipper proximate a top end of the compartment to insert the recyclable beverage containers and (ii) another zipper proximate a bottom end of the compartment to remove the recyclable beverage containers.

One or more implementations of a multi-layer film include a first layer non-continuously bonded to a second pigmented layer. The multi-layer film includes an unexpected appearance differing from the appearance of the pigmented layer. In one or more embodiments, the multi-layer film includes a metallic appearance despite the pigmented layer being devoid of metallic pigment. The multi-layer film also includes areas that are visually distinct from areas of the film with the unexpected appearance. The visually-distinct areas comprise areas in which the first layer non-continuously is in intimate contact with the second pigmented layer. The visually-distinct areas have the appearance of the pigmented layer or another appearance. One or more implementations also include methods of making multi-layer films and bags with an unexpected appearance and visually-distinct areas.

A holder for the use of sanitary use articles includes a storage pouch including at least front and rear sides, a main access configured to allow the storage pouch to be reversibly interlocked and receive a plurality of gloves within the storage pouch, a dispensing slot disposed on the front side of the storage pouch, wherein the dispensing slot is optionally covered by a reversibly-sealable sanitary strip, and an adhesive patch disposed on the rear side of the storage pouch, wherein the storage pouch is configured to be adhered, by way of the adhesive patch, to an inner portion of a fuel filling compartment door of a vehicle.

Bags are made, with which a stack is formed. To do this, a tube is formed with a strip of flexible material, a portion of tube is separated at the front of the tube forming a first flap at the rear of the portion of tube, the first flap prolonging the first wall of the portion beyond the end of the second wall adjacent to the first wall, a bag is formed with each portion of tube, and a stack of bags is formed, the first wall of the first of the bags being against the second wall of the adjacent second bag. An anti-adhesive coating is applied on to the first wall of the first bag and a coat of adhesive is applied on to the second wall of the second bag ensuring the temporary attachment with the anti-adhesive coating.
