    (29) FIG. 1a is a Prior Art perspective view of a plastic bag in the frontal view with a semi-transparent-colorless main body and matching semi-transparent-colorless handles. The handles 3+4 being the same color as the main body 5 and the handles comprising the same visual surface appearance as the main body 5. Shown are the handle apertures 6, the handles 3+4, the handle hanger holes 30, the handle fold and overlap 7, the main body hanger 26, the bag pull tab 28, the mouth of the bag 8, the bag bottom seal 9, the semi-transparent-colorless 10 of the main body 5 and the handles 3+4. In addition, one of the two gussets 15 is shown, showing the main body hanger 26 and the bag pull-tabs 28 on both the front and the rear of the bag sides, and the mouth rim 36 is shown on all sides of the bag 1.

    (30) FIG. 1b is a Prior Art perspective view of a similar bag to that of FIG. 1a that is showing the main body 5 as semi-transparent-colored 11 and the handles 3+4 matching in the same color as the main body 5, the handles comprising the same visual surface appearance as the main body 5, exemplifying the inability to quickly distinguish the handles from the main body 5 of the bag 1.

    (31) FIG. 1c is a Prior Art perspective view of a bunch of open bags 37 crowded together, showing the main bodies 5 as semi-transparent-colored 11 and the handles 3+4 matching in the same color, semi-transparent-colored 11, as the main bodies 5, the handles of each bag comprising the same visual surface appearance as the main bodies of each of the bags. The bunch of open bags 37 being bunched together can cause the handles 3+4 to also be bunched together making it difficult to distinguish the first handle 3 and the second handle 4 of the same bag 1. The handle colors 2(a) of both handles 3+4 on each bag 1 are of the same handle color 2(a) as every other pair of handles 3+4 in the bunch of open bags 37 and also the handles 3+4 are the same color as the main bodies 5 of every bag in the bunch of open bags 37. The handles 3+4 are not distinguished with a handle 3+4 characteristic 2 that is visually distinguished from the other bag 1 handles 3+4 in the bunch of open bags 37, nor are the bag 1 handles 3+4 of each bag visually distinguishable from the main body 5 of each bag 1, (see FIGS. 2a and 2b). If the end user were to grab two of the first handles 3+3 of two different bags 1+1, each of the two bags 1+1 may tip sideways when lifted, possibly spilling the products in the bags 1+1 to the floor. When grabbing a bag 1 from the prior art bunch of open bags 37, the end use must look carefully and distinguish the correct two handles 3+4 that make a pair in order to lift each bag 1 by both of the correct bag 1 handles 3+4 instead of only lifting each bag 1 by one handle 3.

    (32) FIG. 2a is a perspective view of the disclosed invention on a bunch of open bags 37 crowded together showing the handles 3+4 characteristic 2. The main body 5 is shown in semi-transparent-colored 11, the handles 3+4 being significantly visually distinguishable from the main body 5 of the bag 1 allowing the end user to easily grab one pair of handles 3+4 that belong to a particular bag 1. The bunch of open bags 37 can be the bags 1 of FIG. 2a or FIG. 2b wherein each bag 1 is close in proximity to at least one other bag 1 in the bunch of open bags 37, the handles 3+4 characteristic 2 of each bag 1 in the bunch of open bags 37 being significantly visually distinguishable from the handles 3+4 characteristic 2 of the other bags 1 in the bunch of open bags 37. Typically, during use, each bag 1 in the bunch of open bags 37 comprises one or more products inside the bag 1.

    (33) FIG. 2b is the same bunch of open bags 37 as FIG. 2a with the exception of the handles 3+4 characteristic 2 being a different type of the characteristic 2. For example, different tints 2(c) of the same color may be used in the different pairs of handles 3+4.

    (34) FIG. 2c is a perspective view of the plastic bag 1 in the frontal view showing the handles 3+4 with the characteristic 2 on the first handle 3 and on the second handle 4. The main body 5 is shown with the bottom of the main body 5 having a bottom seal 9 that closes and seals the bottom of the plastic bag 1. The aperture 6 is shown inside the first handle 3 and the second handle 4, the first handle 3 and the second handle 4 being a loop and encircling the aperture 6 to provide a gripping surface to hold on to while lifting or carrying the plastic bag 1. The main body 5 of the plastic bag 1 is shown semi-transparent-colorless 10. The bag mouth 8 is shown placed between the two handles 3+4, the mouth rim 36 is shown near the top of the bag 1 and at the top of the mouth 8 of the bag 1, and the side gusset 15 is shown at the bottom of the bag 1. The side gusset 15 allows the bottom of the bag to form a semi-flat area with added strength to the bottom seal 9.

    (35) The main body hanger 26 is shown on the front and rear sides of the bag 1 and being attached to the mouth rim 36, the main body hanger 26 is also shown on the front and rear sides of the bag 1 and being attached to the mouth rim 36. The main body hanger 26 allows the main body 5 of the bag 1 to hang in the dispenser rack 18 (see FIG. 6), the main body hangers 26 of each bag 1 being bonded to each in the group of stacked bags 38 (see FIG. 8), forming a strong combined main body hanger 26 when the all of the bags 1 are in the group of stacked bags 38 and pressing against each other.
