A convertible bag is provided. It may include a bag front, a bag back, a drawstring retention compartment, and at least one drawstring. The bag front may include a front perforation, a front part of the drawstring retention compartment, and a mailer front top with a top flap. The bag back may include a mailer back top, a back perforation, and a back part of the drawstring retention compartment. The convertible bag may be configured for converted from a packaging mailer configuration to a drawstring bag configuration. In the packaging mailer configuration, the top flap of the mailer front top may be folded over and secured to the mailer back top to close the convertible bag. In the drawstring bag configuration, the convertible bag may be configured to be cinched closed by pulling a portion of the at least one drawstring out of the drawstring retention compartment.

A resealable bag enclosure may be provided that includes a film having an opposing first side and second side coupled with each other, and a resealable zipper assembly coupled with the first side and the second side of the film. The first side and the second side of the film together may form a pattern at an opening stop location disposed between the first and second edges of the film and adjacent to an end of the zipper assembly. The pattern of the first side and the second side of the film may also resist opening of the resealable bag enclosure beyond the end of the zipper assembly when the first side and the second side of the film are pulled apart to prevent the peel seal from extending beyond the pattern.

The present application relates to compostable articles and compositions including at least one biodegradable polymer and a hydrophobic agent. In some embodiments, the compostable articles and compositions include a second biodegradable polymer, different from the first biodegradable polymer. In some embodiments, the first biodegradable polymer is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene succinate) (PES), poly(trimethylene succinate) (PTS), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), poly(butylene succinate co-butylene adipate) (PBS A), poly(butylene adipate co-terephthalate) (PBAT), poly(tetramethylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PTAT), and thermoplastic starch. In some embodiments, the presently described articles include packaging.

An envelope is configured to hold, support, and protect an article such as a blood bag during transportation under cryogenic temperatures. The envelope includes a single piece component (e.g., a monolithic component), including multiple panels that are configured to fold to form an enclosure that surrounds the article such as the blood bag for support and protection of the article such as the blood bag.

A tamper evident bag has front and rear panels connected together along opposite first and second side edge margins and a bottom edge margins that define a bag interior and a first bag opening therebetween. The first and second side edge margins include first and second peripheral side edges. The front and rear panels each have a tear line with a first end and a second end, the first and second ends being adjacent to and spaced apart from the first peripheral side edge. The first and second ends of each tear line being spaced part. The tear lines extend over the front and rear panels but remain spaced from the second side edge margin. Each tear line defines a respective tear out section on the front and rear panels. The tear out sections are joined along the first side edge margin and are configured to be removed to create a second bag opening.
