Gusseted filter bag capable of flexing between a flat configuration and an open configuration.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a packing-list-pouch comprising a back sheet and a front sheet attached to a pocket, a protective lip sheet attached to cover a top edge of the front sheet, and a removable release liner attached to an exterior surface of the back sheet via an adhesive coating. The packing-list-pouch may include a flap sheet attached to the protective lip sheet and an adhesive strip configured to fasten a bottom portion of the flap sheet to the front sheet to form a resealable closure over an opening of the pocket and the protective lip sheet.

A system and method of manufacturing reinforced bags having reinforcing elements applied about the bags to support the bags in an opened and/or upstanding configuration. A web of bag material can be fed from a supply and can be folded and secured to form the bags. A series of reinforcing strips can be fed through an adhesive application station for application of an adhesive material thereto in a desired pattern. The reinforcing strips and bags are brought into registration and are adhesively attached to form the reinforced bags.

A flexible walled package formed from a multiple layer laminate and having an external recloseable pocket for holding a scoop or other item is provided. The pocket has a back panel formed from part of an inner layer and a front panel formed from part of a scored outer layer. Outside the perimeter of the pocket the inner layer and the outer layer are adhered together with permanent adhesive. Inside the pocket perimeter the inner layer and the outer layer may be adhered together with pressure sensitive adhesive to close the pocket.

A breast milk collection system includes a storage bag and at least one coupling member formed separately from the storage bag and defining a first side and a second side. The storage bag includes a storage chamber, a closure strip for selectively closing the storage chamber, two bag flaps each extending away from the closure strip, and two coupling components each coupled to a different one of the two bag flaps. Each of the two coupling components includes a plurality of flap protuberances. The first side of the at least one coupling member includes a plurality protuberances extending therefrom, and the second side of the at least one coupling member is at least partially covered with adhesive for selective application of the at least one coupling member to a breastpump apparatus. At least one of the two coupling components selectively couples with the at least one coupling member.

A package made of fibre material has at least a first wall and a second wall, as well as an adhesive stripe between the first wall and the second wall. The adhesive stripe constitutes a seam closing the package on that side of the package where the package is arranged to be opened. The paper package further has at least one fibre rip stopper at the edge of the adhesive stripe or at a distance from it in the direction of the interior of the package, the stopper being arranged to delimit the point separating the first wall and the second wall to the edge of the adhesive stripe or to a distance from it in the direction of the interior of the package when the package is opened. The disclosed embodiments also relates to a method for making a package of fibre material.

Disclosed herein is a storage bag that includes a tongue and groove sealing feature that provides a seal at the top of the bag to prevent the contents of the bag from leaking therefrom. In some implementations, the tongue and groove may include a plurality of magnets that may aid in sealing the bag and may also aid in self-sealing the tongue into the groove. In some implementations, the disclosed storage bag may include tabs configured such that applied forces may cause the bag to open/unseal.

A self-opening bag includes front and real walls joined at their respective first and second side and bottom edges. The bag is folded at least once parallel to its side edges. At least one attaching feature is located on the outer surface of the bag adjacent the upper end and between the folded walls. The bag is releasably attached to a subsequent bag. The at least one attaching feature causes the bag to open as the bag is pulled from the subsequent bag. The once folded bag may be sealed at the bottom edges after folding to form a star-sealed bag bottom. The bags may be removably attached to each other at a perforation line and wound onto a compact roll for use with a bag dispenser. The bags may have an upper seam, a U-shaped cut and a pair of bag handles. The bags may be corona treated.

A storage bag includes first and second sidewalls having a top edge, a top portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of the first sidewall includes at least one shift region about which the bag is capable of shifting. The shift region includes a score line, an indentation, or a crimp formed into the first sidewall. The top portions of the sidewalls include a cuff region includes a textured patterned band to provide a visual cue to a user as to where to fold and to cuff the bag. The bag shifts between (i) a flat configuration with the sidewalls positioned adjacent to each other, and (ii) a stand-up configuration with the sidewalls separated from each other. In the stand-up configuration, the bag has a substantially flat base. The cuff region can be shifted to a cuffed position with the cuff region forming the opening to the bag.

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.
