    Abstract: A package for plastic bags in a roll includes a container/dispenser in the general form of an upright cylinder of clear semi-rigid plastic having two halves hinged about a diametrical edge at the bottom of the container. Feet are formed in the bottom wall, extending transverse to the hinge and cooperating with the hinge to provide a base support so that the package may be stored and displayed in an upright position.

A printed insert is located inside the clear sidewall of the containers for displaying product and brand identification information to the consumer.
