[Solution] A laminate according to the present invention is characterized by including at least a substrate and a heat-sealing polyethylene layer, wherein the substrate and the heat seal layer are composed of the same material, the substrate is treated by stretching, and the above-mentioned same material is polyethylene.

A bag for loose material, wherein the bag is formed from a tubular material, which tubular material is a tubular planar assembly or a flat material connected to form a tube, and has a first and a second open end. Sections of the tubular material of one of the ends are shaped by folding to form a bag bottom. The bag bottom exhibits a first cover sheet and a second cover sheet. The first cover sheet is connected to the bag bottom and extends in a first region of the bag bottom. The second cover sheet is connected to the bag bottom and extends in a second region of the bag bottom. Via the cover sheets, the folded sections of the tubular material are held together in such a way that the bag bottom is sealed.

A waterproof paper bag made of paper and a method of forming same wherein at least one side the paper has been coated with a waterproof substance. The waterproof paper bag is manufactured from a sheet of paper which has been coated with a waterproof substance so that at least an inside of the paper bag is coated with the waterproof substance, such as a biodegradable resin, or wax. A piece of waterproof paper is then cut from the sheet and is folded and a flat bottom paper bag with the waterproof coating on an inside of the bag.

An embodiment includes a bag comprising mesh and film side walls and a reinforcing strip of film; wherein (a) the mesh side wall is sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) the film side wall is non-coplanar with a portion of the bottom extension; (e) another portion of the bottom extension is non-coplanar with the mesh side wall; and (f) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension.

Disclosed is a flexible packaging container, in particular a plastic film pouch or bag for bulk goods, comprising a front wall (2) and a rear wall (3) as well as a holding space (15) between said walls (2, 3) for goods to be stored; the walls (2, 3) are made at least in part of a film material; the flexible packaging container further comprising an intermediate space (14) which is formed by an inner ply (4) and is separated from the holding space (15) by said inner ply (4); the holding space (15) can be evacuated into the intermediate space (14) via at least one holding space evacuation hole (7) in the inner ply (4), and the intermediate space (14) can be evacuated out of the packaging container (1) via at least one additional evacuation hole (11) that interrupts a transverse seam; the front wall (2) does not comprise any of the longitudinal seam (12) that seals the packaging container (1) in the peripheral direction; the inner ply (4) is formed by a strip (4) which is located on a side of the front wall (2) facing the intermediate space (14) and which is fastened to the front wall (2) using two longitudinal seams extending between top and bottom transverse seams (5.1, 5.2).

An embodiment includes a bag comprising mesh and film side walls and a reinforcing strip of film; wherein (a) the mesh side wall is sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) the film side wall is non-coplanar with a portion of the bottom extension; (e) another portion of the bottom extension is non-coplanar with the mesh side wall; and (f) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension.

A security handle for a bag that holds merchandise, a bag incorporating the handle and a method of using the same. A first handle section of the security handle is secured to a first wall of the bag. A second section of the handle is folded over an upper end of the bag and is secured to a second wall of the bag that is opposite the first wall. The handle thereby closes off access to an interior compartment defined by the bag, thereby securing merchandise within the interior compartment. The handle includes a selectively removable tamper-proof opener member positioned between the first and second handle sections. The opener member is removed after delivery of the bag to a customer to allow access to interior compartment of the bag. The opener member may be a pull tab that is integrally formed with the first and second handle sections.

The invention relates to a ventilatable valve bag with a wall material (4) comprising at least one gas-permeable inner layer (6) that is impermeable to a filler material and at least one gas-impermeable outer layer (8) as well as two closing sides (10), a first closing side (10) being formed by closing the valve bag (2) and a second closing side (10) being arranged opposite the first closing side (10). An intermediate space (14) is formed between a part of the inner layer (6) defining an inner space (12) of the bag and the outer layer (8), and at least one ventilation channel (18) leading out of a wall material edge section (16) is arranged on at least one closing side (10) of the valve bag (2), between the inner layer (6) and the outer layer (8) of a wall material region, such that the intermediate space (14) can be ventilated to the surroundings.
