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 storage assembly comprises a sleeve and a container. The sleeve defines an interior void operable to receive a foodstuff. The container defines an interior cavity operable to receive the sleeve. The container includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall. A first flap is attached to the first sidewall and a second flap is attached to the second sidewall. The second flap includes at least one clip removably attached to the second sidewall. The clip comprises an aperture for receiving a portion of the sleeve therein.

In one aspect, an article includes a tag, an elastic panel, and a tab. The tag has a perimeter. The tag includes an aperture and a first cut connecting the aperture and the perimeter. The elastic panel is bonded to the tag. The tab is bonded to the elastic panel at a joint, wherein a portion of the tab is configured for insertion into the aperture.

The invention relates to a strip (10) of flat closures (12) coupled together, made of plastic, wherein each closure (12) comprises a body (14) with an opening (16) therein for receiving and holding the access side (18) of a flexible packaging, as well as a slot (22), delimited by leg parts (20), which extends between the perimeter of the body (14) and the opening (16), and coupling parts (32a, 32b) for coupling to an adjacent closure, wherein the plastic is a plastic foam. A strip of this kind displays good fracture behaviour in existing closing machines.

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.

In one aspect, an article is configured to close a first product and attach to a second product. The article includes a tag and a fastener. The tag has a perimeter. The tag includes an aperture and a first cut connecting the aperture and the perimeter. The aperture and first cut are configured to accept a portion of the first product. The fastener is connected to the tag at a joint, wherein the fastener is configured to attach to the second product.

Mechanical elastic device designed for the closing and opening of bags manufactured from flexible material an indefinite number of times via the pressure exerted by this piece (through taking the form of a Fermat's spiral) on the area of contact with the bag inserted into the same.

Its method of operation consists of positioning the part of the bag we wish to fasten inside the closed area of the spiral and then aligning the two hooks which the piece has on its surface until they lock together, this produces a reduction in the interior space of the spiral and, as a result, this part of the bag is tightened to remain hermetically sealed.

To open it one simply has to release the joined hooks with an external force, the spiral will then return to its relaxed position and we can extract the bag from the device.

Disclosed herein are biodegradable resinous composite and extruded sheets comprising polystyrene and a thermoplastic amorphous starch and use thereof.

A closure clip for maintaining a bag closed is provided. The clip includes a planar body having a symmetry axis. The planar body defines a rear portion having a frontward border, a rearward border and lateral borders, a pair of shoulders, each extending outwardly and along one of the lateral borders and a pair of tabs projecting from the frontward border frontwardly and towards the symmetry axis, the tabs having free front extremities curving towards each other, the tabs and a portion of the frontward border delimiting an opening for receiving a portion of the bag. The planar body has a perimeter comprising an inflection point provided on each side of the symmetry axis, at a transition between one of the shoulders and a corresponding one of the tabs. The clip can include a displaying label projecting rearwardly from the rearward border. A strip of closure clips is also provided.

In one aspect, an article is configured to close a first product and attach to a second product. The article includes a tag and a fastener. The tag has a perimeter. The tag includes an aperture and a first cut connecting the aperture and the perimeter. The aperture and first cut are configured to accept a portion of the first product. The fastener is connected to the tag at a joint, wherein the fastener is configured to attach to the second product.
