Abstract: A process for making successive product bags on an automated production line, comprises the steps of: a) providing a mesh sheet and first and second plastic sheets on rolls, unwinding the mesh sheet and the first and second plastic sheets from the rolls, b) while the sheets are advanced through the production line, folding one longitudinal edge portion of the second plastic sheet over the mesh sheet, c) sealing the folded portion of the second plastic sheet to one longitudinal side of the mesh sheet and the first plastic sheet to an opposed longitudinal side of the mesh sheet to form a master web, and d) sealing and cutting the master web along longitudinally spaced-apart lines transverse to a direction of travel of the sheets to thereby produce a succession of individual bags having one panel at least partly made of a mesh material.

Abstract: A new and improved bag is provided comprising a sheet of flexible, foldable material, wherein the sheet is coated on one side with metal to define a treated side and an un-treated side; wherein the sheet is folded along a fold line such that (i) the treated side faces outwards, and (ii) transversely opposite side edges are defined; wherein a gusset is provided by in-folding the fold line into the bag, thus defining gusseted bottom edges; wherein transversely opposite end portions of the gusseted bottom edges are angled edges that angle towards the fold line at a predetermined angle and end at the side edges; wherein the sheet is bonded together at adjacent side edges; and wherein the sheet is bonded together at adjacent angled edges that have un-treated sides facing each other. Also provided is a method and apparatus for manufacturing the bag.
