Disclosed is a reusable flat envelope bag, such as a flat mail envelope, which comprises an envelope body defining a pouch, the envelope body having an opening at one end or one side to access the pouch, at least one wrist strap attachable to the envelope body by which wrist strap the envelope can be reused as a bag or wristlet. The reusable flat envelope bag may optionally include one or more handles.

A consumption packet includes a bag and a dispensing arrangement. The bag includes a first bag wall and a second bag wall defining a cavity between the first and second bag walls. The bag further has an enclosable area defined at the first bag wall and a pouch opening formed within the enclosable area. The dispensing arrangement includes a sealing flap extended from the second bag wall and folded on the first bag wall to enclose the enclosable area thereof so as to seal the pouch opening by the sealing flap, wherein the sealing flap is unfolded from the enclosable area to unseal the pouch opening.

A flexible package and methods of making the same are disclosed. The package is formed of a flexible sheet material and includes plural panels connected together to form an internal compartment holding a flowable granular or particulate material. The package includes a transverse seal line which includes a permanently sealed section and a releasably securable sealed section. The releasably securable sealed section is configured to be peeled open to form a spout for the package. The package also includes a re-closable connector located adjacent the releasably securable section to close the spout after it has been opened. The package also includes a handle for lifting and carrying the package and for facilitating pouring the contents of the package out of the spout.
