A storage bag has a first closure profile attached to a first side surface, with the first closure profile forming a lip between an interlocking member and an edge of the first closure profile. The bag also includes a second closure profile attached to the second side surface, with the second closure profile forming a lip between an interlocking member and an edge of the second closure profile. The lips of the first and second closure profiles are visually distinct colors or different shades of a color in order to aid the user in locating the lips.

The invention is an improvement to the drawstring trash bag. The invention features a plastic bag made from two panels, and the straps are made from elastic material. The straps consist of a drawstring connected to the supporting straps, and the supporting straps connected to the supporting base. The straps from an elastic material. An elastic drawstring is provided within hems running along the top of the two panels and elastic support straps run down the font of both panels and connect to the support base. The support straps along the front of both panels are made to have slack in the straps. When the trash bag is filled the slack in the straps will lessen. When the filled trash bag is pulled by the drawstring and straps the trash bag will be easy to remove from the receptacle.

A package for protecting consumer goods from damage in transit is provided. Such package is defined by a sheet material, such as recycled polyethylene terephthalate felt and other recycled plastics. Edges of the sheet of material are bonded to form a package defining an open top end configured to receive fragile consumer goods therethrough. Means for cinching the open top end around or about the goods, either partially or completely are provided. The sheet of material may define some thickness that provides padding or cushioning between any item stored with the package and any items outside of it. It is contemplated that the packaging may be reused indefinitely to protect items such as glass bottles and others from damage which might otherwise occur between the point of sale and its intended destination.

The present disclosure relates to a reinforced thermoplastic bag (e.g., comprising a bag-in-bag). In one or more embodiments, the reinforced thermoplastic bag includes a reinforced portion at a top-of-bag area where users often apply an external force to lift or carry the reinforced thermoplastic bag. In these or other embodiments, a grab-zone reinforcement insert is positioned across one or both of a hem channel region and a grab-zone along an outer surface, an inner surface, or between layers of the reinforced thermoplastic bag. In one or more embodiments, the grab-zone reinforcement insert comprises multiple layers (e.g., of a non-woven material). For example, the grab-zone reinforcement insert includes a first and second layer formed by a fold. In other implementations, the grab-zone reinforcement insert includes separate, discrete layers. In one or more embodiments, at least a portion of the grab-zone reinforcement insert is positionally affixed via a hem seal.

One or more implementations of a thermoplastic bag with a grab zone of deformations including raised rib-like elements positioned in a high-touch area of the bag. For example, the thermoplastic bag includes a hem skirt non-continuously laminated to a sidewall by one or more raised rib-like elements. The grab zone regions of one or more raised-rib-like elements are located in visible and high-touch areas to provide visual and tactile cues of strength and durability. Moreover, the grab zone regions of one or more raised rib-like elements serve to distribute pull and lift forces across a wider area in order to avoid common failures in high-touch areas such as over stretching, punctures, tears, and rips.
