A hand-held lift loop assembly tester apparatus and method tests peel strength of a heat seal connection between a lift loop patch and a bulk bag body as an indicator of shear strength of the connection and whether the bag will pass industry safety lifting requirements. A lifting platform of the hand loop tester is inserted between the patch and the bag body in an unsealed area and measures the amount of peel and thus the peel strength of the heat seal bond or connection at the edges or sides of the unsealed area. If the peel strength is adequate, this is a reliable indicator that the shear strength of the bond or connection is also adequate and that the bag will meet the current industry required 5 to 1 safety lifting requirements.

A side gusset paper container in which in the region of the transition of the front wall to a first part of the container bottom region, there is a first pre-crease, and in which in the region of the transition of the rear wall into a second part of the container bottom region, there is a second pre-crease. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a method for producing a side gusset paper container, in which at least one or a plurality of linear pre-creases are formed in the inner side of a paper web. Additionally, the disclosure relates to a use of the side gusset paper container according to the disclosure as a compost collecting and/or carrying container and/or as a fillable container which is self-standing in the unfilled state.

A reusable mailer bag includes front, rear, first side, second side, and bottom panels which include interior surfaces that define a carrying volume that has an opening which is opposite the bottom panel. The mailer bag also includes a flap and a first side extension. The flap is configured to extend across the opening to close the carrying volume during shipping. The flap includes a first end portion that is attached to the rear panel and a second end portion that is configured to secure to the front panel. The first side extension extends from a first edge of the second end portion of the flap that is adjacent the first side panel. The first side extension is configured to extend around the first side panel and to secure to the rear panel when the second end portion is secured to the front panel.

A paper carry out bag that has handles attached to the outside or inside surface of the bag. Patches comprised of paper affix the handles to the surface of the bag to make the handles stronger so that the handles will not easily rip from the bag.

An apparatus for material storage, transport and dispensation uses a bag constructed from one of more flexible plastic sheets and forming a chamber for holding material. Reinforced end regions of the bag may be removably coupled to one another to form a self-forming loop. A nozzle is coupled to the chamber by a flexible tube to form an attachment for dispensation of material from the chamber. The attachment may take the form of a shower head, for example.
