A flexible plastic handle is provided and bridges at least a portion of a rectangular end wall. Preferably, structure is provided for gaining access to the bag interior, and the plastic portions joined at the Y-shaped seams are substantially co-planar with no plastic overlap. The bag may be manufactured by folding a first flexible plastic sheet over on itself and then making an interior fold at the folded portion to provide a M-shaped cross section at one bag end. A second flexible plastic sheet is folded over on itself and affixed to the bag so as to span at least a portion of the first plastic sheet bag end having the M-shaped fold therein.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of continuously making thermoplastic film bags having one-side-free for separation from an opposite side. The method includes providing a continuous tube of thermoplastic film for formation of the bag, such tube having a continuous surface which forms opposing sides of the bags. The tube is directed to a bag forming means which continuously flattens the tube into at least the opposing sides of the bag. The tube must intermittently be partially severed on one of the opposing sides at intervals corresponding to single bag lengths, such severance being made at a location for providing detachable separation of the one wall from the opposing wall. Next a sealed seam is formed across the tube at intervals which provide bottoms to each of the bags, and the bags are then collected in a stack where they are substantially aligned followed by fusing the stack of substantially aligned bags adjacent the severance in the one side for separating the bags from stack one side at a time.

Abstract: A plurality of bags, each having an upright handle at either lateral edge thereof, is formed into a bag-pack, and the bag-pack is retained on a supporting rack by providing upright slits in the handles of each bag through which arms of the supporting rack extend. Unlike holes which are formed in the bag handles, upright slits do not cause weakening of the handles. In addition, the stacked handles of the bags are punched with a heated pin having a diameter no larger than approximately three thirty-seconds of an inch, to weld together the stacked handles of the bags, thereby permitting convenient mounting of the stacked handles on the arms of the supporting rack, without substantially weakening the bag handles. The individual bags are readily detachable from the bag-pack, because the pin is uniformly heated by being placed in a passageway in a block of metal heated to a temperature in the range of about 250.degree.-260.degree. F.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thermoplastic bags which are characterized by two perforated tabs symetrically attached to the front and back walls at the mouth of the bag. Using a sculptured bag or any of several thermoplastic bag structures currently in use (handled or flush-cut; gussetted or flat), the configuration of the two tabs is such that it enables the user to easily open and load the bag while the mouth remains open and the bag in place. Additionally, the placement of the two tabs permits easy loading of a unitary pack on dispensing holders, including armless stands, resulting in more efficient use of time and space by retail users. The placement and scallop design of the tab perforations create stress transfer tips which distribute stress away from creases and slit-seals at the open mouth, preventing tearing or zippering at the mouth of the bag where stress concentration is most likely and permitting greater use of slit-seals and corresponding reduced costs of manufacture.
