An article carrier bag, in particular of the fastfood takeaway type, the bag comprising a bottom and sides (F12, F13) defining inside walls bounding an inside storage space, and being characterized in that at least one gusset element (E1) in a folded state is fitted to and fastened on at least one inside wall of the sides (F12, F13) in two adjacent fastener zones that are separated by a frangible zone (F15) provided in association with at least one side (F12, F13), so as to be capable of bringing the gusset element (E1) into an unfolded state after breaking the frangible zone (F15).

A web of first or second material is provided with the spout, and a plastic bag is made from side gusset materials in addition to webs of the first and second materials. An aperture is formed in the web of the first or second panel material, and the spout is inserted into and positioned with the aperture, whenever the webs of the first and second panel materials are fed intermittently. After the webs of the first and second panel materials are superposed on each other, whenever the webs of the first and second panel materials are fed intermittently, the webs of the first and second panel materials are heat sealed with each other in a longitudinal direction thereof by a longitudinal seal device, and the webs of the first and second panel materials are heat sealed with the side gusset materials in a width direction thereof by a cross seal device.

A bag apparatus includes a first bag wall, sides, a bottom, and an opening. Handles extend from the opening a define slits for hanging on a dispenser. A tab is disposed between the handles and extends from the bag at the opening. The tab includes a slit for handing on a dispenser. The bag and tab are configured to permit opening of the bag with pulling with a first force when the bag is mounted on a rack, and separation of the bag at the tab with pulling with a second force stronger than the first force.

A reuseable bag with handles is formed of a single sheet, folded to form two sides and a bottom, and includes only heat-seals formed using heat and pressure along side edges and width-wise across an upper portion of each side wall forming reinforced regions of the bag walls at which handle attachment points are disposed for attaching handles by heat-sealing using heat and pressure.

An apparatus for making a self-opening bag pack includes a supply of film material. An extruder forms a continuous tube of film. A flattener flattens the tube. A corona treater treats at least one surface of the flattened tube. A first sealer forms a bottom seam across a width of the flattened tube. A cutter cuts the flattened tube into bag blanks at a predetermined distance from the bottom seam. A stacker forms the bag blanks into a bag pack. An adhesion knife penetrates the bag pack and adheres adjacent bag blanks together in the bag pack. An aperture maker forms means for suspending the bag pack from a dispensing rack. The pack is attached to the dispensing rack and the front wall of the subsequent bag will be adhered to the rear wall of a first bag, thereby causing the first bag to open when pulled from the rack.

A method for manufacturing a bag includes a wall of the bag is passed along a placement drum for rotatably mounted handles; a handle is hooked onto the drum, legs of the handle extending backwards along a perimeter of the drum in the direction of rotation of the drum, the legs being connected by a cross member; same is completely turned over using a turnover drum so that the legs are at the front on the placement drum; and the handle is deposited on the wall.

The invention discloses a packaging bag and an apparatus and a method for manufacturing film material of the packaging bag, and a method of manufacturing the packaging bag. The processing of the portable portion is conducted by the apparatus for manufacturing film material, and the prepared film material is made into a packaging bag finally. In the technical solution of the invention, by adding a handle structure on the side portion of the big-sized packaging bag, the bag structure of the invention is easy to carry or move the packaging bag and the product within the packaging bag that is large in weight, structure, and size. The packaging bag of the present invention has a simple structure, which is convenient to use and process, improving the practicality and usability of the bag.

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.

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.

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.
