  • Thermoplastic multi-ply film with metallic appearance
    Patent number: 8865294
    Abstract: Laminated multi-ply films where one film layer is substantially unpigmented and the other film layer is substantially pigmented can provide a metallic appearance when the substantially unpigmented film layer is cold stretched either prior to lamination or during the lamination step. This surprising result provides an inexpensive way to produce films with a metallic appearance. Trash bags having an inner bag and an outer bag laminated together may be formed according to this process.

  • Tie bag
    Publication number: 20050244085
    Abstract: A tie bag includes a hem seal, at the mouth of the bag, which grips the top of a receptacle, when the tie bag is used as a liner for the receptacle, to preclude having the mouth of the bag fall into the receptacle. The hem seal forms a hem flap, which is cut in a geometric pattern to provide tie fasteners. The hem seal may also form a hem at the open mouth of the tie bag. The tie bag may further include a pair of secondary hem seals closing the hem at the opposing sides of the sidewalls.
