A food storage bag may include a flexible substrate defining first and second opposing sidewalls, a closed bottom and an open top, and first and second wires extending along the first and second sidewalls of the flexible substrate. The first and second wires may each have a shape defining a series of peaks and troughs such that the opposing peaks and troughs may be twisted together to close the flexible substrate at different lengths along the first and second sidewalls.

A binding tool includes a pair of leg portions and a central portion that is provided between the pair of leg portions. The binding tool is formed in a horseshoe shape and is capable of binding an object to be bound by bending the pair of leg portions inward. The pair of leg portions are arranged to be deviated from each other in a front-rear direction as viewed in a thickness direction.

Provided are metal detectable plastic bags, method of making and methods of using such bags for preventing product contamination when used to collect and retain samples of product. The metal detectable plastic bag includes a flexible body including an opposed front wall and back wall sealed together around the periphery of the walls to form an internal collection space including two side seal areas, a top seal area and a bottom seal area, a bag opening mechanism located proximate a top edge of the flexible body and below the top seal area. The bag opening mechanism includes one or more perforations, scores or cuts in the one or two side seal areas and optionally the front and back wall to form a removable tear strip. At least a portion of the removable tear strip is surface printed with a metallic based ink or surface coated with a metallic based coating.

A patting bag structure, which is furled when an external force is applied thereto, includes a bag body and at least one elastic furling element. The bag body includes an opening, a patting portion and a housing portion, wherein the patting portion is connected to the housing portion, and the opening is connected to the housing portion by the patting portion. The at least one elastic furling element is disposed on the patting portion of the bag body, wherein the at least one elastic furling element is furled when the external force is applied thereto, and the patting portion is furled together with the elastic furling element so as to disconnect the opening from the housing portion.

A packaged tobacco product includes a pouch and tobacco material disposed in the pouch. The pouch has a front wall and a back wall connected to one another along opposing first and second side edges. The pouch is configured to be opened along a top portion of the pouch to form an opening to provide access to the tobacco material in the pouch. The pouch includes a closure assembly having first and second releasably attachable parts. The first part is on the front wall of the pouch. The second part is on either the front wall or the back wall of the pouch. The second part is closer to the opening than the first part. When the first and second parts are attached, a portion of the back wall wraps around at least a portion of the second part of the closure assembly to seal the pouch.
