A bagger safety system includes a controller, a heating element, a light-emitting device, a light-detecting device and a backing assembly. The backing assembly includes a backing bar, a pair of reflectors and a seal backing element movably coupled to the backing bar by at least one mechanical force generating member so as to create a space between the seal backing element and the backing bar when no external force is applied to the mechanical force generating member. Light emitted from a light-emitting device reflects off the reflectors to the light-detecting device when no external force is applied to the mechanical force generating member. Movement of the seal backing element toward the backing bar prevents light emitted from the light-emitting device from reaching the light-detecting device and the controller controls movement of the backing assembly toward the heating element based on whether light from light-emitting device reaches the light-detecting device.

An airbag film roll retention structure includes a retaining engagement member mountable to an airbag film roll, a mounting section formed on one end of the retaining engagement member, a first alignment section formed on one end of the mounting section, abutting sections formed on an opposite end of the mounting section, and a second alignment section defined between the abutting sections, which are coupled to each other to be positioned on an axle assembly so as to achieve advantages, such as efficient mounting and positioning and ensuring center alignment to prevent eccentric oscillation.

A waste bag system comprising a substrate, a waste bag, and a cover sheet. The substrate defines an adhesive surface. The waste bag configured to be arranged in a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration. At least a portion of the adhesive surface is in contact with at least a portion of the waste bag to at least temporarily attach the waste bag to the substrate. At least a portion of the adhesive surface is in contact with at least a portion of the cover sheet to detachably attach the cover sheet to the substrate to maintain the waste bag in the folded configuration. With the cover sheet at least partly detached from substrate, the waste bag may be reconfigured from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration.

A plastic bag comprising a grip strip configured to assist with opening the bag, wherein the grip strip is formed from a material different from a material from which its associated panel is formed.

The invention relates to a package or product comprising at least one space for contents or objects, formed of at least one flexible part, which is a flexible pouch type container part, and to the at least one flexible part attached at least one stiff support part, in which the at least one stiff support part forms in opened position at least part of wall structure of the package or product. The at least one flexible part and the at least one stiff support part form the at least one space for the objects or contents, when the stiff material of the support part is bent and/or the package is opened at the stiff support part. The invention also relates to a package or product roll.

Apparatus and method for enabling serial delivery of a plurality of interconnected gloves, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of flexible gloves, a distal tip end of one or more of the fingers of a downstream one the plurality of gloves being readily detachably attached to a bottom proximal edge of an open bottom end of an immediately upstream one of the plurality gloves.

An insulated bag roll system is described. The insulated bag roll system includes a plurality of insulated bags connected at perforated lines and rolled to form a roll of insulated bags. Each of the insulated bags may include a body including walls sealed to form an inner chamber that is configured and dimensioned to receive a physical object through an opening. The walls may be formed from an outer layer, an inner layer, and an insulated layer disposed between the outer and inner layers. Each of the insulated bags may include a flap extending from the body that is configured to fold over and cover the opening to maintain insulation of the inner chamber. Each of the insulated bags may include one or more transparent windows formed in the walls providing visibility into the inner chamber. The insulated bag roll system includes a dispensing mechanism configured to hold and dispense one or more insulated bags from the roll of insulated bags.

Apparatus and method for enabling serial delivery of a plurality of interconnected gloves, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of flexible gloves, a distal tip end of one or more of the fingers of a downstream one the plurality of gloves being readily detachably attached to a bottom proximal edge of an open bottom end of an immediately upstream one of the plurality gloves.

A printing apparatus for printing on continuous plastic food bags, each of the continuous plastic food bags containing a printable area integrated in a plastic foil thereof, includes: a plastic food bag holder for holding the continuous plastic food bags; a plastic food bag guiding mechanism for guiding the continuous plastic food bags from the plastic food bag holder in the direction of a plastic food bag printer, the plastic food bag printer including a printhead for direct thermal printing onto the printable area of each of the continuous plastic food bags; a plastic food bag transporting mechanism for pulling the continuous plastic food bags through the plastic food bag guiding mechanism towards the plastic food bag printer; and a plastic food bag ejector for detaching an individual plastic food bag from the continuous plastic food bags.

A trifold side seamed film produce bag includes a front wall and a back wall, first and second side edges sealed together and a seamless bag bottom. The bag is joined at the side edges to additional bags by a perforation. The bag is corona treated on at least one wall and promotional material is printed on the treated surface. The bags are folded to one third of their height to fit compact bag roll dispensers. The bags are folded in a Z-fold or C-fold configuration. The method includes manufacturing the bags and winding them onto cores or forming the bags into coreless rolls. An apparatus for forming the side seamed bags includes an extruder, a tubing flattener, a perforator, a sealer, a corona treater, a printer and a slitter. The treated, printed bags may be stored on rolls for later slitting into two bag streams and folding into thirds.
