A storage bag includes first and second sidewalls each having a top edge, a top portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portions of the sidewalls include at least one shift region about which the bag is capable of shifting. The shift region includes a score line, an indentation, or a crimp formed into the first sidewall. The top portions of the sidewalls include a cuff line about which the bag is capable of shifting. The bag shifts (a) between (i) a flat configuration with the sidewalls positioned adjacent to each other, and (ii) a stand-up configuration with the sidewalls separated from each other. In the stand-up configuration, the bag has a substantially flat base. The bag also can be shifted to a cuffed position with the bag being folded over the cuff line of each of the sidewalls such that the cuff region forms an opening to the bag.

The disclosure relates to a package including a bag and at least one stack of absorbent articles arranged in the bag, the bag being made of a paper material, wherein the bag has a sealed bottom, a sealed top, and a peripheral wall extending between the bottom and the top, wherein the top is formed by adhering inner surface portions of the peripheral wall to one another. The bag includes an adhesion layer provided on the inner surface portions of the peripheral wall, the adhesion layer being used for adhering the inner surface portions to one another, wherein the adhesion layer has a basis weight of 28-45 g/m.sup.2.

A structure is described for forming a wrapper, e.g., for print media, where the structure includes a line of weakness for facilitating a user's tearing of the wrapper to access the contents. The line of weakness may include a first line of weakness portion that extends along a fold line of an envelope fold forming one of the front or rear or right sides of the wrapped package, as well as a second line of weakness portion that extends substantially perpendicularly to the respective longitudinal fold lines and a connecting line of weakness portion that extends between the first line of weakness portion and the second line of weakness portion and is disposed at a non-zero angle with respect to each. In this way, a tear initiated near the first line of weakness portion and may be propagated along the other portions to create an opening for accessing the product.

A packaging bag configured to pack a sheet in a folded-packaged manner includes a paper layer including a paper component, and a resin layer including a thermoplastic resin provided on both surfaces of the paper layer, wherein a proportion of the paper component in the packaging bag is 45% or more.

A storage bag includes a first sidewall having a top edge and a bottom edge, and a plurality of shift regions about which the bag is capable of shifting. At least one of the shift regions includes one of a score line, an indentation, and a crimp formed into the first sidewall, and extends a distance along the first sidewall starting from near the bottom edge of the first sidewall. A second sidewall is connected to the first sidewall so as to form an interior of the bag with an opening to the interior and having a top edge and a bottom edge. At least one of the shift regions of the first and second sidewalls extends across and intersects with another of the shift regions of the first and second sidewalls, to facilitate shifting of the bag. The bag shifts between a flat configuration, and a stand-up configuration.

A storage bag includes first and second sidewalls that are directly connected without a pleat between the sidewalls at a bottom of the bag. The bag includes a plurality of shift regions at bottom portions of the sidewalls. The bag can be moved about the shift regions such that the bag is shiftable between a flat configuration with the first and second sidewalls positioned adjacent to each other and a stand-up configuration with the first and second sidewalls separated from each other. In the stand-up configuration, the bag is shifted about the shift regions such that a substantially flat base is formed for the bag. The stand-up configuration is thereby achieved without a pleat being provided between the sidewalls at a bottom of the bag. The bag further includes a cuff region that is disposed below the top of the bag for cuffing of the top of the bag.

A package for one or more products includes a casing and a handle made of paper material. The casing is wrapped around the products in such a way as to define two opposing head surfaces and one peripheral surface. The handle includes a strip of said paper material, defining opposite portions attached to one and the other of the head surfaces respectively, and including a reinforcing element attached to the strip.
