Abstract: A bag stack assembly (10) comprises a stack of bags (12). Each bag in the stack comprises front and back walls with closed sides, a closed base end, an open mouth end opposite the base end and a pair of handles extending from the open mouth end. The handles are connected together by means of an attachment bar block of material spaced from the open mouth end. The stack is folded about a fold line F extending across the bag. A jacket (14) retains the stack in the folded condition. The bar block is retained in a separate retainer (16) which is secured to the stack by cooperation between a retainer formation (28, 30) and the bar block. The folded stack protrudes from the retainer to allow removal of the bag from the stack.

Abstract: In a stack of vest-style carrier bags S, each bag comprises a front layer and a rear layer of flexible plastics material joined at the base and sides and defining an open mouth end. Handles extend from the open mouth end. A tab extends from each ply of material between the handles. An attachment block is provided between the handles and the handles are separably attached to the block by perforated lines of weakening. Front and rear tabs are separably attached to the attachment block. The rear tab of one bag is also separably attached to the front tab of the next bag in the stack so as to effect pulling of the front tab of the next bag from the stack. A container C is also provided for the stack with an opening 0 for allowing the bag to be removed and the subsequent front tab to protrude therethrough.

Abstract: In a stack of vest-style carrier bags S, each bag (10) comprises a front layer and a rear layer of flexible plastics material joined at the base (14) and sides (16, 18) and defining an open mouth end (20). Handles (22, 24) extend from the open mouth end. A tab (32a, b) extends from each ply of material between the handles. An attachment block (26) is provided between the handles (22, 24) and the handles are separably attached to the block by perforated lines of weakening. Front and rear tabs (32a) are separably attached to the attachment block. The rear tab (32b) of one bag is also separably attached to the front tab of the next bag in the stack so as to effect pulling of the front tab of the next bag from the stack. A container C is also provided for the stack with an opening O for allowing the bag to be removed and the subsequent front tab to protrude therethrough.
