A slider for a closure assembly of a bag. The slider has a pair of finger pads extending from a top wall. Each pad has a surface with a curved portion running from a front end to a back end of the slider, a defined, first curved area extending from the curved portion to an end of the first curved area, and a defined, second curved area extending from the end of the first curved area to a midpoint of the curved portion. The first curved area and the second curved area are defined by different angles at which the respective curved area extends into the respective finger pad. Each finger pad includes a major axis dimension greater than a minor axis dimension to provide an area that fits an average finger size, and a lip region to guide a finger of a user into a finger pad.

A recloseable zipper pouch includes a recloseable zipper with interlocking profiles. At least one of the profiles has a grasping flange with a free end positionable both above and below the interlocking profile, and an attachment flange below the interlocking profile and attached to the wall of the pouch at an anchored portion on the attachment flange. The grasping flange is unattached to the first wall between opposite sidewall edges of the pouch. The complementary interlocking profile is attached to the opposite pouch wall. Some pouches can also include an opening in a side wall of the pouch to provide access to a portion of the grasping flange.

A sealing zipper according to an embodiment includes a first chain portion, a second chain portion, a chain fixing portion, and a watertight portion. The second chain portion is coupled to the first chain portion. The chain fixing portion is coupled to one end portion of the first chain portion and one end portion of the second chain portion. The watertight portion is positioned between the first chain portion and the second chain portion and disposed to be partially inserted into the chain fixing portion.

A vacuum bag sealing system may include a composite bagging sheet, and at least one interlocking strip connected to a surface of the composite bagging sheet, wherein the interlocking strip is configured to join a first section of the composite bagging sheet to a second section of the composite bagging sheet to form a sealed vacuum bag.

According to the present disclosure, there is provided a container to food product (20) having a self-standing flexible pouch (22); a raw wet protein portion (14) disposed within the pouch (22); and a closure (34) sealing the pouch (22). There may also be provided a method of packaging a raw wet protein portion (14) for retail, the method comprising: opening an empty self-standing flexible pouch (22); filling the empty pouch (22) with a raw wet protein portion (14); and sealing the pouch (20).

An embodiment includes a bag comprising mesh and film side walls and a reinforcing strip of film; wherein (a) the mesh side wall is sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) the film side wall is non-coplanar with a portion of the bottom extension; (e) another portion of the bottom extension is non-coplanar with the mesh side wall; and (f) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension.

A longitudinal method for producing a side-gusseted bag includes providing an incision extending in a transverse direction in a bag film for each side-gusseted bag in such a way that, in the case of a subsequently formed side-gusseted tube, the incision extends over both side gussets and a first front wall that is situated between the side gussets. Proceeding from the incision, the first front wall, together with the corresponding parts of the side gussets, is folded back, on which a separate film section is placed and fastened in the folded-open region. The folded-over section is folded back in such a way that all connecting seams of the separate film section extend in parallel to each other in the transverse direction.

A thermoplastic bag includes raised rib-like elements that allow the thermoplastic bag to expand. The thermoplastic bag further includes side seals having rib-like elements that allow the side seals to expand. Additionally, in one or more implementations, the thermoplastic bag includes one or more of a material formulation, a density of raised rib-like elements, a height of raised rib-like elements, or land areas that provide the raised rib-like elements with a reduced rebound ratio.

A bag making apparatus and a bag making method make bags. The bag has a first panel part and a first flap part formed by folding a first sheet part, and a second panel part and a second flap part formed by folding a second sheet part. The first and second panel parts face each other. The first and second flap parts are interposed between the first and second panel parts and face each other. An open edge is formed by folded edges of the first and second sheet parts. The bag further comprises adhesive located between the open edge and the engagement tool, interposed between the first and second flap parts and extending across the widths of the first and second sheet parts to peelably adhere the first and second flap parts to each other. Alternatively, the second sheet part may only consists of the second panel part.

A flower hydrating transport pouch device for cost efficiently preserving fresh cut flowers during transport from a point of sale includes a pouch defining an interior space. The pouch has a pair of lateral sides and an upper edge. The upper edge is removable from a body of the pouch to expose an opening into the interior space. A hydrating fluid is in the interior space. A closure is positioned on the body of the pouch adjacent to the opening for selectively closing the opening. A tether line extends from the pouch for engaging interior structure of a vehicle for transporting flowers having stems extending into the hydrating fluid within the interior space of the pouch.
