  • Twist tie dispensing apparatus and method
    Patent number: 10968018
    Abstract: An apparatus (100, 200, 400, 500, 600) includes a stack (110, 310) having a plurality of connected tie web sheets (106, 306) and an image (114) disposed on each of the tie web sheets (106, 306), wherein the image (114) is the same on each tie web sheet (106, 306) and is disposed in overlay registration from sheet (106, 306) to sheet (106, 306). Each tie web sheet (106, 306) includes a plurality of twist ties (104, 304), each twist tie (104, 304) having a proximal end (118) and a distal end (120), each twist tie (104, 304) being removably attached to the stack (110, 310) at its proximal end (118).
