Abstract: A bag capable of moving between a flattened generally planar condition to an open generally parallelepipedal shape has in the flattened condition closely juxtaposed flat rectangular front and back face panels. A rectangular top panel has front and back edges joined to the top edges of the respective front and back face panels and side edges bridging ends of the respective front and back edges. The top panel has a crease between the respective front and back edges and is folded inward therefrom to lie between the face panels. A similar rectangular floor panel is secured to the lower edges of the face panels. A pair of rectangular side gusset panels each have vertical front and back edges respectively joined to the side edges of the front and back panels and upper and lower edges joined to the side edges of the top and bottom panels.

Abstract: A side-gusseted bag has two front walls which are joined by a side gusset at a longitudinal side provided with a reclosure. The side gusset is folded-over outwards in the region of the reclosure in such a manner that the side gusset ends at its folded-over section at the associated longitudinal side. The reclosure running in the longitudinal direction is fastened to an inner surface of the side gusset at the folded-over section. A method for manufacturing a side-gusseted bag is also provided.

Abstract: A bag has a panel made of film and having an inner face and an outer face and formed with at least two throughgoing and spaced attachment holes. A carry handle has a pair of spaced ends each having an adhesive-coated face engaging the outer face over a respective one of the holes. Respective inner patches each have an adhesive-coated face engaging the inner face over a respective one of the holes and engaged through the respective hole with the end face.

Abstract: A bag has two flexible face panels and a pair of gussets each having a crease and two generally parallel side edges flanking the crease and joined to side edge of the panels. The face panels both have extensions extending upward past at least one of the gussets and of a horizontal width measured perpendicular to the side edges that is substantially less than a width of the face panels perpendicular to the side edges. A reclosable fastener extends along the upper edges only at the extensions and forms therewith a spout that can be folded over and juxtaposed with one of the face panels. The spout can be releasably secured to the one face when folded over the one face panel. This side gusset bag is intended, in particular, for packaging lumpy, granular, and pourable bulk material.
