A receptacle for retaining garments during a laundry function can include a body having multiple surfaces that form a cavity, where the body is porous to allow water and air to traverse therethrough. The receptacle can also include a first access feature disposed on a first surface of the body, where the first access feature has an open position and a closed position, where the first access feature, when in the open position, allows access to the cavity, and where the first access feature, when in the closed position, prevents access to the cavity. The first access feature, when in the open position, is configured to allow the garments to be inserted into and removed from the cavity. The first access feature, when in the closed position, is configured to retain the garments within the cavity and allow the garments to be laundered during the laundry function.

A disposable wineskin. The disposable wineskin has a receptacle of disposable plastic material in a traditional boot shape, a mouth of the receptacle for introduction of wine, a pouring spout provided with means of attachment to the mouth of the receptacle, comprising a compact tubular piece of hard plastic with an upper thread to screw into a plug, and a sealing ring between the pouring spout and the mouth that blocks any liquid flow making the wineskin watertight.

A bag (100) for packaging fruit and vegetable products (2) having a casing (103) for housing the products to be packaged and at least one first band (104) and one second band (105), each arranged on the outer face of the casing so as to seal the casing, the first band (104) being joined to the casing only at its ends (104a, 104b) forming a handle (106) and the second band (105) joined along the length thereof to the associated face of the casing, forming a stable bottom (105c).

A bag for boat livewell for providing efficient removal and transport of fish from a boat's live well. The bag for boat livewell generally includes a bag having a floor, an upper opening opposite of the floor, a first sidewall extending from the floor, a second sidewall extending from the floor, a first end wall extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, and a second end wall extending between the first sidewall and second sidewall. The bag is constructed of a water permeable material. A first handle and a second handle extend from the first sidewall and the second sidewall respectively. A first interior closure and a second interior closure are attached to the sidewalls for selective closing of the upper opening. A first buoyant member and a second buoyant member are attached to the first sidewall and the second sidewall respectively.

A breathable bag (1) especially suitable for packaging horticultural products (2) comprising a mesh casing (3), which is capable of housing the products to be packaged and at least one first band (5) of flexible material applied on the outside of and joined to the casing by affixed areas (6, 7) affixed to said casing, the first band covering a region (8) of the casing that has a hole (9), the practical access to the hole (9) being prevented by the affixed joining areas (6, 7) between the first band (5) and the casing (3), and the first band (5) being equipped with at least one tear line (10) that determines in the first band (5) a removable portion (5c) from the casing (3) that is sufficient to leave uncovered or to open a practical access to said opening (9).

The present invention discloses a sack comprising a second container and a first container, an activated carbon filter that is positioned between said first and second containers and a sealable rubberized zipper and the activated carbon filter is positioned such that it may absorb at least a portion of odor and moisture from items stored inside sack. In addition, an antimicrobial material may be infused into the material of the sack.

The present invention relates to a band (1) that can be stored in reel format, which has areas coated by a thermally-activatable adhesive material (2) following a coating pattern (3) that is repeated along the band with at least two main transversal strips (5a, 5b) that extend between two longitudinal edges (1c) of the band and that include areas (21) coated with a grammage of thermally-activatable adhesive material between 35 and 130 gr/m.sup.2. A specific use of the band (1) is for making mesh bags (10) and in particular to close a portion of a tubular mesh (11) by interleaving said mesh portion between two coinciding portions of the same or of two bands (1, 1) and with respective main transversal strips (5a, 5a) of the coating pattern (3) towards the mesh; applying pressure; and providing heat.

A breathable bag (1) especially suitable for packaging horticultural products (2) comprising a mesh casing (3), which is capable of housing the products to be packaged and at least one first band (5) of flexible material applied on the outside of and joined to the casing by affixed areas (6, 7) affixed to said casing, the first band covering a region (8) of the casing that has a hole (9), the practical access to the hole (9) being prevented by the affixed joining areas (6, 7) between the first band (5) and the casing (3), and the first band (5) being equipped with at least one tear line (10) that determines in the first band (5) a removable portion (5c) from the casing (3) that is sufficient to leave uncovered or to open a practical access to said opening (9).

The present invention is directed to a side-sealed open mesh fabric bag having one or more multi-layer seam structures. At least one side seam of the bag comprises a plurality of folded layers of the bag's fabric bonded together within a seam structure by a plurality of seal portions. At least one of those seal portions is a sacrificial seal configured to at least partially give from the seam structure, whilst one or more other seal portions of the seam structure remain intact. The sacrificial seal provides the bag with volumetric flexibility, whilst the remaining seam structure provides an improved seam strength.

The invention consists of novel compositions of food-grade coatings comprising mixtures containing propylene glycol as at least one active ingredient and containing at least one inert food-grade acceptable carrier for controlling food pests and pest infestations and reproduction on and/or in food. The invention further provides novel food containers and methods of applying coating compositions, including those of the invention, to foods and to food containers used to store, age, and/or cure the foods.
