During the manufacturing process the exterior surface of one or both of the sheets of plastic film which form the bags is treated with low temperature corona discharge plasma to raise the level of surface charge magnitude to at least 43 Dyne to increase the adhesion force between the bags. A recess is formed in each of the bags to further increase the adhesion. The increased adhesion causes the mouth of one bag to automatically open as the adjacent bag is removed from the rack. The recess is formed at the same time openings are created in the bags to accept the support rods of a dispensing rack. The bags can have simple edge sides or side gussets and may be provided in a package including a pouch which receives and supports the lower portions of the bags.

T-Shirt bag with a front foil layer, a rear foil layer and side folds, where the front foil layer and the rear foil layer and the two side folds at the bottom edge and at the top edge are joined together; and where at the top edge of the T-shirt bag two handles are formed by a recess, both handles being provided with a continuous suspension opening; where the perforation openings with incisions and a spot connection are provided in the front foil layer and in the front side fold portions of each handle.

The present invention relates to a stand-up packaging (1) for food products comprising at least one pouch (2) for carrying a food product, an outer packaging (3) having two cover elements (31,32) at least partially sandwiching the pouch (2), and at least one further element (33,2′) being at least partially sandwiched between the pouch (2) and one of the cover elements (31). The further element (33,2′) is penetrated by a through hole (22,36). The one cover element (31) is glued (G) to the pouch (2) via the through hole (22,36).

The present invention relates to modern plastic shopping bags. The shopping bag comprises two opposing handles, a main body with opposing sides, an open top, and a closed bottom. The shopping bag handles comprises a distinguishing characteristic on all of or a portion of each handle, thereby making each handle significantly visibly distinguishable from the main body of the shopping bag. Additionally proposed is a group of shopping bags for mounting to a dispenser rack, and wherein the handles characteristic of each first bag in line to be removed from the dispenser in succession differs from the handles characteristic of the next bag in line to be removed from the dispenser. In addition to the handles characteristic being significantly visually identifiable from the main body characteristic, other identifiable features of the bag such as a displayed Universal Product Code (UPC) are also shown and displayed.

Sealable pouch assemblies are described. In some embodiments, the sealable pouch assembly includes a soft pouch formed from an elastomeric material. The pouch includes a plurality of spaced apart external protrusions located near a top end of the pouch. A semi-rigid external frame is attachable to the pouch by the protrusions. The frame has a stable closed state and a stable open state. A slider is configured to slide over the external frame with the external frame in the closed state to seal the pouch in a closed pouch state.

A storage bag has first and second side surfaces, and a sealable and an unsealable opening. A bottom end of the bag is movable between a flat configuration with the first and second side surfaces positioned adjacent to each other, and an expanded configuration with the first and second side surfaces being spaced from each other. Shape retaining strips are provided adjacent to the opening that can maintain the shape of the opening. The shape retaining strips are capable of maintaining the opening of the bag such that a distance between the first and second side surfaces at the top end of the bag is about equal to the distance between the first and second side surfaces at the bottom end of the bag.

Medical packaging for the sterile storage of medical articles in a hermetically and sterile sealable packaging sleeve. The packing generally includes at least two parts, with a sealed, film-like outer packaging, which at least partially encloses the packaging sleeve in a form-fitting manner and provides a pressure that is reduced with respect to the atmosphere. At least one end face of the packaging sleeve may be designed to be flattened, wherein a length of the outer packaging is generally longer than a length of the packaging sleeve and projects beyond the end face region of the packaging sleeve. A sealing or welding seam may be arranged at least in the end face region of the packaging sleeve, wherein at least one of the end faces of the packaging sleeve, preferably both end faces, are designed so as to be flattened off. The end-sided transition from the packaging sleeve into the outer packaging is substantially wrinkle free.

This design for a peelable sandwich bag facilitates the consumption of a sandwich without having to directly touch the sandwich. The bag consists of two stacked rectangular layers that are sealed together at the bottom edge and only partly sealed on the side edges starting from the bottom. This creates three free edges that peel away from the sandwich during consumption. A plurality of magnetic strips mounted near the free edges enables the enclosure of the bag around the sandwich prior to consumption. The combination of temperature resistant plastic and sufficiently weighty magnets enables the sandwich bag to be dishwasher safe and reusable.

A storage bag includes first and second side surfaces that form an interior of the bag with an opening to the interior. A first closure profile connected to the first side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening has a top edge and includes an interlocking member that extends between first and second sides of the first closure profile forms a lip between the interlocking member and the top edge. A second closure profile connected to the second side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening of the bag has a top edge and includes an interlocking member. A first portion of the lip of the second closure profile smoothly transitions into a third portion of the lip of the second closure profile, and the third portion of the lip of the second closure profile smoothly transitions into a second portion of the lip of the second closure profile.
