  • Patent number: 9533463
    Abstract: A film bag has a pair of longitudinally extending film face panels having longitudinal edges and first and second folded film gussets having longitudinal edges welded at longitudinal seams to respective longitudinal edges of the face panels and formed with two spaced throughgoing cuts forming a handle loop. A separate film inner liner panel lies against an inner face of the first gusset, extends a full transverse width of the first gusset, and is fixed at the longitudinal welds of the first gusset to the front panels so that the liner prevents leakage from the bag through the cuts.

  • Patent number: 9440779
    Abstract: A dual compartment pouch for wipes and liquid is formed as a pouch body made of a pouch film. The pouch body has a front wall and a rear wall, side seals which run on at least a portion of a circumferential pouch edge and a parting seal connecting the front wall and the rear wall and separating a first compartment from a second compartment in a fluid-tight manner. A first fitting on the first compartment and a second fitting on the second compartment have a complementary shape to one another. The complementary shapes of the first fitting and the second fitting, after a separation of the compartments along the parting seal, enable fluid communication of the first and the second fittings with one another.

  • Publication number: 20150336713
    Abstract: A film bag has a front and back panel and an inner cover patch therebetween. A continuous frame weld secures the inner cover patch to the inner face of the front panel. A first cut or weakening line in the front panel within an area bounded by the frame weld defines all but one side of a flap hinged at the one side to the front panel. A reclosable fastener is between the front face of the patch and the inner face of front panel, and a direct attachment between the fastener and the hinge is between the front face of the flap to the inner face of the front panel. A second cut or weakening line is formed in the inner cover patch between the direct attachment to the flap and the recloseable fastener.
