A method is disclosed for forming a windowed packaging material. According to the method a web of packaging material is cut in substantially the machine direction along a non-linear path. The cutting action provides two subwebs, each having protruding edge portions and recessed edge portions. The two subwebs are displaced relative to one another so that the protruding edge portions face one another. In this configuration opposing recessed edge portions form windows. The two subwebs are adhered to one another at the opposing protruding edge portions. The resulting windows may be covered with a material that is transparent and/or breathable. A strip of handle material may be applied spanning the respective windows.

A glove dispensing assembly includes a stack of interfolded gloves. In particular, the gloves are folded in an S-like arrangement having at least two folds per glove. The glove dispensing assembly additionally may include a soft, collapsible dispenser made of an elastomeric material to contain the stack of gloves. A method of assembling the glove dispensing assembly with the dispenser containing the stack of interfolded gloves is also provided.

The invention relates to a production method of a material, a material and packaging intended mainly for food products. The design of the material used in the packaging machines allows for providing handles in the final packaging without the need for secondary operations. The handles are obtained through either placing a secondary narrower web onto the primary material, wherein the handle constitutes said web, or adjacent holes are cut in the primary material, wherein the handle is formed by the holes separating the primary material. A combination of these two methods or materials is also conceivable. In the area of holes, the primary material is joined with the secondary material, which is either a film or a membrane, wherein the secondary material is larger than the holes and it forms an overlap around them. The materials are joined in the overlap area around the inner circumference of the secondary material.

The present invention is directed to a produce bag. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a completely recyclable and compostable grocery-type bag for use with produce and other goods. Ideally, the bag is a calendared single-ply paper with heat-sealed seams that is resistant to destruction from moisture. While produce is contemplated, the bag can be used to contain virtually any product. Preferably, such a bag would have a window or an opening so that produce can be viewed and readily identified. The present invention is further directed to a process for creating and filling the above bag. Using a standard printing machine, the adhesive is printed onto the paper in register to desired locations on the paper to form the seams of the bag and, optionally border a window area to be cut out of the paper. If the bag is to include a window opening, the window opening is cut out within the area of applied heat-activated adhesive and a screen cover to the window such that the border of the screen cover is applied to overlap the heat-activated adhesive. Optionally, a recyclable and compostable patch can be placed around the window such that the patch covers the edge of the screen and the heat-activated adhesive to form a border for the window. The patch and screen cover to the window, if present, are adhesively sealed to the paper by heat activation. One method of assembling the bag includes forming the adhesive applied paper to create a tube of paper such that the heat-activated adhesive overlaps the paper, heat sealing the paper into a tube, automatedly filling the tube with product, heat sealing the bottom edge and top edge of the product-filled tube to form an enclosed bag with product therein. The forming and filling can be accomplished on already existing automated forming and filling machines manufactured for use with plastic bags and plastic lined paper bags. Thusly creating a sealed, filled paper bag that is a single ply unlined paper with a mesh covering attached to the paper without the need for reinforcement that can withstand the moisture released from the contents and is 100% recyclable and compostable.

A lightweight continuous band for the manufacture of bags for fruit and vegetable produce and similar products, consisting of a continuous plastic sheet of the same width as that of the aforementioned band; said band features at each of the aforementioned sectors one or more windows of like or different sizes; at least one of the windows is closed by means of a fragment of plastic material of a shape and dimensions suited to said at least one window, and whose edges are fixed to the periphery of the same by thermo-welding or similar procedure; said fragment of plastic material features a plurality of stamped holes of like size, which are evenly distributed throughout the surface of said fragment.

A system for a greeting card. The greeting card has a planar greeting card portion and a greeting card cover moveably coupled to the planar greeting card portion. The greeting card cover can move from an open position whereby the planar greeting card portion is readable to a closed position adjacent to said planar greeting card portion whereby the planar greeting card portion is not readable. The greeting card portion is coupled to a gift storage compartment which has a volume and a depth for storing an item. The greeting card cover can open and close without moving the gift storage compartment.
