Disclosed are embodiments of a volume control storage bag and methods of making same. The volume control storage bag may have first and second sidewalls, a double-locking closure mechanism with a first closure element extending along the first sidewall and a second closure element extending along the second sidewall, each closure element having a channel and an elongated member configured for interlocking with one another. A gusset is sealed along three sides of the first and second sidewalls, leaving an opening through the closure mechanism and defining an interior space having a specific volume. Corner seals may be formed at the corners of the first and second sidewalls, further reinforcing the double-locking closure mechanism for an airtight and hence waterproof seal. The volume control storage bag may be made of a food-grade polyethylene vinyl acetate blend, approximately 90% or less ethylene vinyl acetate and approximately 10% or less polyethylene.

A flexible film, and articles comprising the film, comprises interleaved pluralities of each of first bands and second bands disposed adjacent to the first bands. Both the first and second bands have a length and a width; the first bands comprise a first film basis weight and first and second regions. The first regions and second regions being comprised of the same material composition. The first regions undergo a substantially molecular-level deformation and the second regions initially undergo a substantially geometric deformation when the sheet material is subjected to an applied elongation along at least one axis. The second bands comprise a second film basis weight and a plurality of corrugations disposed along the length of the band. In this aspect the material may be described as having alternating bands of structural-elastic-like film and ring-rolled film.

A woven laminated plastic bag having an easy open feature is provided. The easy open feature is generally defined by a weakened portion in the bag. In various aspects the bag can be fabricated from a woven polyethylene layer which can be laminated with a polyethylene film layer, can form a pinch bottom bag, and can have one or both sides include graphics and/or printing. The bag can also provide a top end and/or a bottom end either or both of which provide a discrete area which may contain discrete graphics and/or printing.

The present invention provides a disposable bioprocess bag, a manufacturing method therefor and a hot-melt annular welding machine, relating to the technical field of biopharmaceutics. The manufacturing method comprises: preparing a first cropping template to a fourth cropping template according to a top, an upper portion, a lower portion and a bottom of a bioreactor; cropping a raw material film according to the first cropping template to the fourth cropping template to obtain a first membrane material to a fourth membrane material, wherein the fourth membrane material directly serves as a rounded bottom; welding at least two pockets on the first membrane material to obtain a rounded top; welding the second membrane material to obtain a cylindrical upper portion; welding the third membrane material to obtain a lower portion in the shape of an inverted rounded truncated cone; and welding, using a hot-melt annular welding machine, the rounded top, the cylindrical upper part, the lower portion in the shape of an inverted rounded truncated cone and the rounded bottom, to obtain a disposable bioprocess bag. According to the present invention, the physical properties of the welded edge of the disposable bioprocess bag are improved, and the fit of the disposable bioprocess bag to the bioreactor are also enhanced.

A crop storage bag (1) made is of a high-strength textile (7) material which is extrusion-coated or laminated with a multilayer film (8) that comprises an insecticidal layer (9) in addition to a hermetic layer (10) which prevents oxygen from entering the bag. This oxygen barrier suffocates the insects inside the bag, and the insecticide kills insects that try to bore through the bag.
