A bag has a front panel, a back panel, and a gusset, each having a thermoplastic ply at its interior face. The interior face of the gusset is thermally welded to the interior face of the front panel and back panel at respective joins from which extend respective panel extensions which are also thermally welded to each other at a third join. Extensions of the gusset cover parts of the respective panels and are thermally welded to them. Other parts of the panel extensions are not covered by the gusset extensions and are welded to each other to form the third join. The extensions can form a handle part for the bag.

A soft package includes a package body made of a soft deformable material, and a plurality of rigid gripping components disposed at periphery or corners of the package body. Each of the rigid gripping components includes a rigid ring structure configured to be gripped by a robot device. A robot system may be used to process the soft package, by controlling a computer vision system of the robot system to capture images of the soft package, processing the images of the soft package to recognize the locations of the rigid gripping components, and controlling the robot devices of the robot system to grasp the rigid gripping components.

A handle body is formed in a lower end of a bag between a transverse bottom seal and an intermediate handle seal. The handle body has a deflected weld line having a midpoint and end points, and is nearest to the transverse bottom seal at the midpoint. The deflected weld line is arranged so that a line tangent to the deflected weld line at either end point defines an angle greater than or less than 90 degrees with respect to a second line running transversely through the midpoint. Between the midpoint and the end points, the deflected weld line can include different combinations of perforated, nonperforated, welded, and nonwelded line segments.

One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a pouch for packaging fermented foods, a method of packaging fermented foods using the same, and a pouch for packaging.

A woven plastic bag is made by longitudinally feeding flat-lying fabric web having a layer of woven-together plastic strips on a first face, opposite longitudinal edge regions spaced transversely from each other and each extending over about 10% of a transverse width of the fabric web, and a middle section between the longitudinal edge regions. A pattern is applied the first face of the fabric web in a pattern that repeats along the production direction only locally with a coating in the form of a film or in the form of a liquid plastic of a width or shape that varies transversely, and the fabric web is shaped into a fabric tube. In order to form individual woven plastic bags, the fabric tube is cut transversely into pieces of the fabric tube suitable for subsequent filling and sealing.

A bag used to transport and store a mattress comprising a bag sized to completely envelope the mattress. The bag has an opening in one or more ends or one or more sides for the mattress to be placed inside. A graspable area has graspable points applied to the outer surface of one or more ends, one or more side, or a top or bottom surface of the bag.
