Abstract: A roll of plastic bags sequentially disposed in end-to-end relationship, each bag having two spaced handles, separated by a gap, and extending upwardly along the edges at the top end of each bag, each bag being joined to a following bag by a perforated line, is disposed in a box-like dispenser having a front face. A dispensing opening in the front face has a first cut-out portion and a second, spaced cut-out portion with a tab extending upwardly between the cut-out portions. The tops of the cut-out portions, when joined together, define a bottom boundary overlying the cut-out portions and the tab. The top of the tab and the bottom boundary are separated by a gap which is substantially wider than the thickness of the plastic bag. Thus, when the bag is withdrawn, the handles of the next bag will fall into a respective one of the cut-out portions and lie outside of the dispenser so that the next bag is easily accessible for later dispensing.
