According to an aspect of the invention, provided is a bag-shaped container including a tubular film and at least one pair of engagement portions. The tubular film has an inner surface and an outer surface, and is folded in a manner that the outer surface configures both an inner surface of a bag body and an outer surface of the bag body. The at least one pair of engagement portions projects from the inner surface of the bag body, and engages with each other.

An installation for producing bags from two-layer plastic film includes a film gripper for drawing the plastic film into a tool at a first station, and a rotary conveyor belt for conveying the film through a plurality of stations. The film gripper is designed to guide the plastic film through the first station to a second station.

A bottom and discharge assembly for a flexible fabric bulk bag of the type having heat sealed joints includes a piece of reinforcing fabric positioned under a heat sealed joint of a bottom portion and a discharge tube, around a periphery of a discharge tube opening and bottom opening that are each substantially square, wherein the reinforcing fabric prevents bag failure at or about at corners of the bottom opening and discharge tube opening. The assembly can be formed by overlapping the reinforcing fabric, discharge tube, and bottom portion so that the bottom is heat sealed to both a portion of the discharge tube fabric and a portion of the reinforcing fabric and wherein a portion of the reinforcing fabric is under the discharge tube and bottom joint, and wherein the discharge tube fabric and reinforcing fabric are not joined together.

The invention relates to a ventilatable valve bag with a wall material (4) comprising at least one gas-permeable inner layer (6) that is impermeable to a filler material and at least one gas-impermeable outer layer (8) as well as two closing sides (10), a first closing side (10) being formed by closing the valve bag (2) and a second closing side (10) being arranged opposite the first closing side (10). An intermediate space (14) is formed between a part of the inner layer (6) defining an inner space (12) of the bag and the outer layer (8), and at least one ventilation channel (18) leading out of a wall material edge section (16) is arranged on at least one closing side (10) of the valve bag (2), between the inner layer (6) and the outer layer (8) of a wall material region, such that the intermediate space (14) can be ventilated to the surroundings.

The invention relates to a valve bag, in particular a cross-bottom valve bag, comprising a first wall and a second wall, which are joined to each other by means of side edges or side folds and by means of bottoms and which delimit a bag interior, comprising a valve, which is arranged in one of the bottoms and via which the bag interior can be filled with a filling material, and comprising venting openings in the first and/or in the second wall for venting the bag interior. At least one channel is provided on the outside of at least one wall, which channel covers the venting openings and is formed at least by two parallel fastening strips and by a cover strip, the cover strip likewise comprising venting openings, and wherein the shortest path between the parallel fastening strips along the cover strip is longer than the shortest path along the at least one wall or the cover strip, and/or the parallel fastening strips consist of stretchable material.
