Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for preparing a paper band that incorporates a composite paper mesh, intended for the manufacture of bags for horticultural products, wherein the embodiment of the composite mesh comprises a process that includes dividing a paper reel (1) into continuous longitudinal strips (2-5), transversely segmenting a paper reel (6) to prepare cross pieces (7) which are applied on two longitudinal strips (2-5) parallel and spaced apart from each other, in successively distant positions along said strips and bonded by gluing, and applying on the support base grid structure thus obtained a mesh (10) of paper yarn which is joined to the support base by gluing, and that can be divided into portions that can be used for covering windows or openings included in the paper band, all this with the aid of automated means.

Abstract: A continuous band for producing bags for fruit and vegetable products is formed from a continuous plastic sheet which has been die-cut to produce a series of small holes which are closed using mesh or net fragments fixed along the periphery of the holes by heat-sealing, gluing or any other conventional manner. An area of the continuous sheet intended to contain a handle is provided with a transverse patch of pre-determined hardness in order to reinforce the area used to hold the bag once it has been filled, such that the thickness of the band-forming plastic sheet can be significantly reduced, specifically by a value of the order of 40%, without affecting the performance of the bag in terms of mechanical strength since the area in which the greatest strains are concentrated corresponds exactly to the area containing the handle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a continuous band for producing bags for fruit and vegetable products, formed from a continuous plastic sheet (1) which has been die-cut to produce a series of small holes (3) which are closed using mesh or net fragments (4) fixed along the periphery of said holes by means of heat-sealing, gluing or any other conventional means. According to the invention, the area of the continuous sheet (1) intended to contain the handle is provided with a transverse patch (5) of pre-determined hardness in order to reinforce the area used to hold the bag once it has been filled, such that the thickness of the band-forming plastic sheet can be significantly reduced, specifically by a value of the order of 40%, without affecting the performance of the bag in terms of mechanical strength since the area in which the greatest strains are concentrated corresponds exactly to the area containing the handle.
