Reusable shopping or produce bags are made from a fabric material. The fabric material may be woven or non-woven. The bags may be used with existing grocery store fixtures. For example, a reusable shopping bag can be designed to hang on existing checkout fixtures designed for conventional plastic shopping bags. Similarly, a roll of produce bags can be dispensed from an existing fixture designed for conventional plastic produce bags. Thus, the bags may be used in grocery stores with little to no reconfiguration of existing check outs and product display areas.

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.

A two-panel bag constructed from first and second panels that each has the same shape and size. The panels are connected together and a top edge is open for accessing the interior space. The top edge of the panels form handles that can be tied together to close the interior space. The two panels have a laterally inverted shape relative to a centerline. The top edge of each panel further includes two identical sections that each has a vertically-and-rotationally inverted shape. The shape of the panels facilitates manufacturing as the panels can be cut from a flat sheet with limited or no wasted material.

A pre-formed bags dispenser comprises a container having an access aperture, a stack of pre-formed bags located in the container and having a first portion (12) deviated, preferably folded, at a transverse bend from a second portion containing mouth ends of the bags, and attachment means in the container separably attached to the mouth ends at lines of weakening, e.g. perforations. Front walls of the bags at the second portion, tensioned by the bending of the stack, are presented towards the access aperture. The bag nearest to the access aperture can be drawn out through the aperture by pulling its front wall, with one hand, relative to the attachment means. As the bag is so pulled its mouth is opened and the separable attachment to the attachment means is released. The attachment means, in one form, comprises a bar block separably joined to the mouths and/or handles of the bags. The container may be in the form of a box substantially closed apart from the access aperture, a tray or a bag.

The present invention relates to improvements for T-shirt bags formed from a side gusseted tube of polymeric film. In particular, the embodiments of the invention provide means for reinforcing the handle seals of a T-shirt bag while limiting the amount of scrap material generated in the manufacturing process. In one embodiment, at least two seals are provided for forming each of the opposing two handles of the T-shirt bag. In further embodiments, a curved lower seal is provided as part of each handle's seal. In additional embodiments, a single seal of a continuous area is provided for each handle.

The present disclosure relates to other garbage and kitchen garbage classification throwing technologies in the technical field of garbage classification, in particular to a garbage bag. The garbage bag comprises a bag body, wherein the bag body is of a hollow structure with an opening in the top, a pouring opening is formed in the bottom of the bag body, and the bag body is formed in a folding mode so that the bottom of the bag body is fixed to one side of the bag body. When garbage in the bag body needs to be poured out, a point-breaking line or glue is torn off, the bottom of the bag body is separated from one side of the bag body, and after the bottom of the bag body naturally droops, the garbage is poured downwards from the point-breaking line under the gravity of the garbage to be separated from the bag body. Therefore, the garbage in the garbage bag body can be completely poured out without opening bound handles or turning over the garbage bag body or puncturing the garbage bag with a tool, the action is simple and convenient, safety and reliability are achieved, and garbage throwing workers are prevented from being stained.

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 flexible reclosable package includes a first side panel and a second side panel. The first panel defines a right side edge portion, a left side edge portion, a bottom edge portion, and a pleated portion. The second panel defines a right side edge portion, a left side edge portion, a bottom edge portion, and a hooded portion. A first seam joins the right side edge portion of the first panel with the right side edge portion of the second panel. A second seam joins the left side edge portion of the first panel with the left side edge portion of the second panel. A third seam joins the bottom edge portion of the first panel with the bottom edge portion of the second panel. A first line of weakness is provided in the pleated portion.

A method (100) of making an integrated handle (304) on at least one side gusset (308) of a flexible package (300) is provided. The method (100) includes steps of sealing a handle patch (222) on at least one half width of the side gusset laminate (218). Further, the method (100) provides parallel openings on the handle patch (222) such that a centre line of the two parallel openings coincides with centre lines of each half of the side gusset laminate (218). A cover patch (226) is sealed over the handle patch (222) overlapping the edges of the handle patch (222) and simultaneously with the side gusset laminate (218) all around, such that a predefined area is left unsealed between the two parallel openings. The longitudinal edges of the side gusset laminate (218) are folded such that the handle patch (222) comes on the outer surface of the continuous open tube (242) being formed. The continuous open tube (242) is thereby used for manufacturing the flexible package (300).
