  • Bag with multi-layer seam structure
    Patent number: 11492177
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a side-sealed open mesh fabric bag having one or more multi-layer seam structures. At least one side seam of the bag comprises a plurality of folded layers of the bag's fabric bonded together within a seam structure by a plurality of seal portions. At least one of those seal portions is a sacrificial seal configured to at least partially give from the seam structure, whilst one or more other seal portions of the seam structure remain intact. The sacrificial seal provides the bag with volumetric flexibility, whilst the remaining seam structure provides an improved seam strength.

  • Side-sealed bag having label section and method of production therefor
    Patent number: 6974406
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved side-sealed bag comprising an open, mesh-like fabric and a label section. The bag has a closed end formed by a fold in the fabric, an opposing end and longitudinal, heat-sealed side seams extending from the closed end to the opposing end. The bags are used for packaging articles for which visibility and/or breathability of the bag fabric are useful characteristics. In a preferred embodiment, the bags are also suited for manufacture and filling using high speed, automated equipment.
