  • Patent number: 9745102
    Abstract: A bag has a front panel, a back panel, and a gusset, each having a thermoplastic ply at its interior face. The interior face of the gusset is thermally welded to the interior face of the front panel and back panel at respective joins from which extend respective panel extensions which are also thermally welded to each other at a third join. Extensions of the gusset cover parts of the respective panels and are thermally welded to them. Other parts of the panel extensions are not covered by the gusset extensions and are welded to each other to form the third join. The extensions can form a handle part for the bag.

  • Publication number: 20150125094
    Abstract: A bag made of plastic film suitable for pouring has first and second side panels and back and bottom gussets extending between the panels. Margins at front and top edges of the first side panel join margins at front and top edges of the second side panel at a first seam. A bottom margin of the back gusset joins a rear margin of the bottom gusset at a second seam with the back gusset terminating at a top, rear part of the first seam and the bottom gusset terminating at a bottom, front part of the first seam. A part of the bag film material integral with the back gusset and rear parts of the first and second side panels is formed as a handle at the rear of the bag. A closeable pouring device is integrated into a top front part of the first seam.

  • Publication number: 20120093441
    Abstract: A bag includes a panel having an inner surface and an outer surface and an elongate aperture through the panel. A handle strip having a handle carrying part is disposed adjacent the panel inner surface with the carrying part inserted through the aperture. Extension parts of the handle strip depending from the carrying part are located adjacent the panel inner surface and one or both of the extension parts are folded over and heat sealed to each other and to the inner surface of the bag. The folded extension acts to provide a reinforcing strip and to seal the aperture.
