An embodiment includes a bag comprising mesh and film side walls and a reinforcing strip of film; wherein (a) the mesh side wall is sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) the film side wall is non-coplanar with a portion of the bottom extension; (e) another portion of the bottom extension is non-coplanar with the mesh side wall; and (f) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension.

In a plastic bag including a triangular flap which has a folded hypotenuse and an open hypotenuse, a flow path is formed by the folded hypotenuse or the open hypotenuse to discharge air or gas through the flow path.

A paper bag for e-commerce shipments, which paper bag comprises first closure means for first closure of the bag (46, 49, 123, 127a, 127b, 227a, 337, 337a), tear means (47, 126, 136, 226a, 226b, 336) for opening the bag after first closure and second closure means (45, 48, 137, 137a, 238a, 238b, 338, 338a) for reclosing the bag after tearing the tear means. The paper bag is formed of a paper having specific properties concerning—inter alia—the grammage, the tensile index, the bending resistance and the like for rendering the bag especially durable and reliable in use.

A woven laminated plastic bag having features that prevent leakage of contents out of the bag, or infestation of organisms into the contents of the bag is provided. The bag can provide a top end and a bottom end that provide a discrete area that may contain discrete graphics or printing. The bag can also include an easy open feature that can be easily opened with less force than a sealed closure of the bag. The easy open feature may be oriented in various directions with respect to the bag.

A bag or bag-like transport container or delivery container that can provide a high degree of thermal insulation. More particularly, the disclosed invention relates to an improved container for storage and transportation of goods that comprises a bag-like or box-like container that can be hand-held and that can provide good thermal insulation. The disclosed invention seeks to provide an improved corrugated sheet container and provides a system having first and second cellulose fiber bag-like elements, at least one of which is provided with a surface metallization treatment whereby to provide beneficial thermal characteristics.

Paper-based packages and methods of making the same are disclosed. In one example, a semi-rigid package comprises: a base, a first side portion, and a second side portion. The base comprises two opposed major walls and two longitudinal side walls opposed to each other. The first side portion and a second side portion are integrally formed with the base. The two side portions are respectively connected to the base along the longitudinal direction, and each side portion comprises two opposed side panels, two tapered corner portions opposed to each other, and a closure in a transverse direction. Each side panel is connected to the adjacent major wall along a transverse line, and the two opposed side panels are jointed to form the closure. At least one of the side portions may be substantially compacted and form a substantially flat transverse side wall.

A bag with improved carry handle strength and stand-up ability and method of constructing same using an algorithm that takes into account one or more bag traits resulting in an upper bag portion configuration constructed to carry a predetermined volume of contents within the bag body.

A grocery transport system comprising a storage facility (600) for goods; the storage facility comprising one or several storage rooms having a controlled environment in that the temperature and the relative humidity of the air in the storage room is controlled so that it is kept within certain predetermined ranges; wherein the goods comprises a plurality of different types of goods sorted into different temperature ranges (TI, TIl, TIll, TIV), each type of goods being stored in a corresponding storage room (650.sub.TI, 650.sub.TII, 650.sub.TIII, 650.sub.TIV) having a temperature in accordance with the corresponding goods temperature range (TI, TIl, TIll, TIV); a loading facility for enabling chilled or frozen goods is to be packed into closable and sealable containers (20); said loading facility comprising a plurality of said closable and sealable containers (20) for use in the distribution of said chilled or frozen goods in an air atmosphere environment; a delivery vehicle for transporting said closable and sealable containers (20), when loaded with a predetermined amount of chilled or frozen goods, to a delivery destination.

The invention relates to a folded bag and a method for forming a bag from a square or rectangular shaped sheet, which method comprises the steps of dividing the sheet into nine fields arranged such that eight fields surround a central field; folding the sheet along folding-lines between and across the fields in such a way that the central field forms the bottom of the bag and the eight surrounding fields form the sides of the bag and at least one inner wall providing separated compartments in the bag.

Methods of making a woven laminated plastic bag having an easy open feature are provided. The easy open feature is generally defined by a weakened portion in the bag, such as formed by cutting, punching, or using a laser to provide a plurality of cuts and/or perforations in the bag. In various aspects the bag can be fabricated from a woven polypropylene and/or polyethylene layer, which can be laminated with a film layer, can form a pinch bottom bag, and can have one or both sides include graphics and/or printing. The bag can also be sealed to be sealed to provide a top end and/or a bottom end either or both of which provide a discrete area which may contain discrete graphics and/or printing.
