A universal cover for hygiene cloth dispensers includes a flexible pouch for holding hygiene cloths stored in a plurality of different hygiene cloth dispensers. The flexible pouch has a top wall, a bottom wall, and an interior space between the top and bottom walls. The universal cover includes a seam that can be opened to an open position and resealed to a closed position to connect the top wall to the bottom wall. The open position defines a refill opening for receiving the different hygiene cloth dispensers. A dispensing opening is formed in the top wall of the universal cover. The dispensing opening is reinforced against deformation due to exposure to moisture, body oils, dirt, and stretching. The dispensing opening is sized such that different sized movable and non-movable covers of at least two different commercial hygiene cloth dispensers are accessible through the dispensing opening.

The invention describes a bag (300) having a first wall and a second wall that comprise paper and that are connected to one another by lateral edges such that a fill space is provided, wherein the second wall projects above the first wall as seen in the longitudinal direction of the bag, and having two ends, wherein a bottom is arranged on one end and an opening is provided on the other end, through which the fill space is accessible, wherein the bottom comprises at least one folding region of the second wall, wherein the folding region is folded over at least parts of the first wall about a crease line, and having at least one handle opening (109, 109).

The invention is characterized by the handle opening (109, 109) through which the second wall reaches outside of the folding region and through the folding region.

The present invention provides a sheet material container being made of a sheet material and including a body portion and a bottom portion that is to be disposed on a placement surface, and the sheet material including a plurality of film layers. A body portion sheet that constitutes the body portion includes a bonding portion where peripheral edge portions of the sheet materials are bonded. In a bottom surface sheet that constitutes the bottom portion, a non-adhesive region is provided in the plurality of film layers. The non-adhesive region forms a bottom filler-filled portion. The bottom filler-filled portion extends annularly around a non-filled portion, and includes at least three protruding leg portions that are to be placed on the placement surface so as to allow the container to stand by itself. The protruding leg portions protrude toward the placement surface past other portions in the bottom filler-filled portion due a leg forming portion.

A thermoplastic bag includes duplicative seals. In particular, in one or more implementations, a thermoplastic bag includes a first seal and at least a second seal reinforcing the same area of the thermoplastic bag. For instance, in one or more implementations, the thermoplastic bag includes multiple seals along each side edge or along the hem. If one seal fails, the other seal(s) can remain in place to prevent leaks. Thus, the duplicative seals of the thermoplastic bag can provide reinforced strength and desired aesthetics.

A medical device sterile barrier system that is easier for surgical personnel to use by allowing easier opening and removal of the medical device from the sterile packaging, includes a sterile bag within which a medical device is held secure via a removable holster, the holster being fashioned with a hinge feature such that the holster has a clamshell arrangement and folds in half along the hinge feature to clamp the medical device parts in place between the two halves of the clamshell. To remove the medical device the holster is simply unfolded about the hinge feature to reveal the parts of the device, which can then be lifted out of the holster and assembled in the usual way. There are thus no polymer tab features forming part of the holster and interacting with the device to secure it in place that need removal before the device can be used.

Thermoplastic bags with phased deformation patterns are described. In particular, one or more implementations comprise thermoplastic bags with ring rolling, SELFing, or other deformation patterns phased or aligned relative to the sides of the bags. The phased deformation patterns can allow for reducing or eliminating deformation patterns in areas of the thermoplastic bag in which side seals or other seals are formed. Additionally or alternatively, the phased deformation patterns can provide for zones that provide differing properties (e.g., functional or aesthetic). Such zones can vary aligned along a width of the thermoplastic bag and optionally also vary along a height of the thermoplastic bag. The differing zones can provide the thermoplastic bags with phased deformations that provide leak prevention, liquid containment, and other benefits.
