A system including a liner implement that is configured to provide a lining for at least a receptacle, the liner implement includes an upper edge component having an outer surface portion and an inner surface portion. A retention strip implement engages the upper edge component, to tighten the upper edge component around an upper opening of the receptacle. A first end segment of the retention strip implement is configured to engage the outer surface portion of the liner implement. A second end segment is configured to engage the inner surface portion of the liner implement being operable for tightening the upper edge component around an upper element of said receptacle. An adhesive free area is configured to be operable for grasping during the engagement of the second end segment adhesive with the inner surface portion of the liner implement upper edge component.

An enclosure includes a first panel, a second panel coupled with the first panel along outer edges of the first panel and the second panel, and a gusset panel having first and second legs. The first leg may be coupled with the first panel. The second leg may have opposite ends and a middle portion with at least the middle portion separate from the first panel and the second panel. The second leg and the second panel may form an auxiliary port through which product can be loaded into an interior volume disposed between the first panel and the second panel. The middle portion of the second leg of the gusset panel may be coupled with the second panel after the product is loaded into the interior volume between the first panel and the second panel to enclose the product in the interior volume.

A connection mechanism including a plurality of microstructure features. The connection mechanism includes a first strip, with a plurality of protrusions extending from the first strip, and a second strip, with a plurality of protrusions extending from the second strip. The protrusions define grooves between adjacent protrusions. A pressure sensitive adhesive is provided in at least some of the grooves. When the first and second strips are brought together, the protrusions from one strip are received in the grooves of the other, and some of the protrusions contact the pressure sensitive adhesive, thereby connecting the first and second strips. The connection mechanism can be used as a closure mechanism for a plastic storage bag.

A flat-bottomed bag is formed from a flexible sheet that initially is flat prior to being manipulated to form the bag. The sheet is a laminate of a first web and a second web laminated together by an adhesive layer disposed between the webs. The sheet defines a plurality of serially connected side wall panels collectively defining a vertically extending side wall of the bag, and a plurality of bottom panels respectively connected to the side wall panels at respective fold lines. The bottom panels are folded about the fold lines and are attached together to form a flat bottom wall configured to support the bag in an upright orientation. The adhesive layer is in a partial-coverage pattern that includes adhesive-free regions located along each fold line between each bottom panel and the respective side wall panel connected therewith.

Disclosed is a method for inflating packaging airbags. The method for inflating the airbags include the steps of coupling an inflation port of the airbag to a nozzle of the inflation system, wherein a collar of the airbag adjacent to the inflation port lies between the cushions of the inflation system, the cushions are a part of pair of clamps. Thereafter the inflation system can be turned on resulting in clasping of the collar by the pair of clamps. The air compressor of the system operates to supply air under pressure to the airbag through the air pressure regulator. Once the airbag is inflated, the inflation system can be turned off, resulting in releasing of the pair of clamps, thus releasing the airbag.

A tamper-resistant, sealable container, comprising a container having a bottom portion, a top portion, and a plurality of sidewalls extending between the bottom portion and the top portion, wherein the bottom and top portions and sidewalls define an interior of the container and an exterior of the container; and a plurality of strips of self-sealing, pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on surfaces of the container, wherein the strips of self-sealing, pressure-sensitive adhesive do not engage one another when the container is in an open configuration, wherein the strips of self-sealing, pressure-sensitive adhesive do engage one another when the container is in a closed configuration, and wherein the engagement of the strips of self-sealing pressure-sensitive adhesive with one another seals the container closed in a tamper-resistant manner.
