Abstract: A reclosable bag or pouch configured to store, and to easily pour, material. The reclosable bag is configured with an integral pour spout having a reclosable fastener to facilitate the pouring of material from the bag, and subsequent resealing. By locating the pour spout along an upper side of the bag, material is focused downward from the bag, and not outward, when poured. Bags configured in this manner thus provide end users with enhanced control over the dispensing rate and direction of their contents. In some embodiments, the bag is also configured as a self-supporting bag capable of resting generally upright upon its bottom end.

Abstract: A reclosable bag having closed top and bottom ends, closed sides extending therebetween, and a closure region with a reclosable fastener. The fastener and one of the closed sides have an included angle less than 90 degrees. The fastener is further configured such that the reclosable fastener has a first end and a second end, and the sealed portion has a first end and a second end, the first end of the fastener generally extending to the closed first side so as to form a pour spout, the second end of the fastener generally extending to the first end of the sealed portion, and the second end of the sealed portion generally extending to the closed second side. In this manner, a pour spout is formed, that assists in pouring material from the bag. The pour spout can also be reclosed for convenience of the user.

Abstract: A four corner bag constructed of flexible thermoplastic sheet or film material having overlying front and rear wall panels and a bottom sealed end. The upper portion of the bag includes a first closure region terminating in a top sealed end, a second closure region disposed inwardly of the top sealed end, and a perforated seal or tear strip extending across the width of the bag and located between the first and second closure regions. The second closure region includes an inner heat seal which extends approximately halfway across the width of the bag and a reclosable fastener which extends the remaining distance across the bag. In one embodiment, the inner heat seal is oriented transversely across the bag while the reclosable fastener is upwardly angled so that it forms a natural pour spout during use. In other embodiments, the reclosable fastener is transversely oriented while the inner heat seal is angled.
