Abstract: The bag includes a draw tape that may be used to cinch closed the opening of the bag. The draw tape is multilayer with a polypropylene core and propylene-ethylene copolymer or other suitable polymers in the outer layers.

Abstract: A description is given of a paper valve bag with an inner panel which is located at the paper-bag end which is located opposite the paper-bag end with valve, and, on its surface which is directed toward the sack interior, the inner panel has an opening aid which has a higher modulus of elasticity than the inner panel. The opening aid, which may be a tear-open strip or a tear-open thread, projects beyond the inner panel at at least one surface-area end of the latter. Such paper valve bags are used for fine-grain, pulverulent and/or free-flowing materials, in particular ready-to-use mortar.

Abstract: An air valve for a poly bag that permits the escape of air from the bag as it is filled by a filling tube. The air valve consists of a plurality of slitted openings in one top corner of the bag and a valve flap mounted in the poly bag near the slitted openings that closes and seals the openings as filling material engages and moves the flap.

Abstract: A multiwall paper bag for bulk material, especially particulate or powdered material, has an inner ply of a high performance kraft paper, an intermediate layer or ply of a thin polyethylene secured to the outer surface of the inner ply, and an outer ply of high performance kraft paper that is secured to the intermediate ply. At least one end of the bag is closed during initial formation of the bag. The other end can be left open for filling and subsequent closing, or it can be initially closed and provided with a filling valve. At least the intermediate ply, and preferably the inner ply as well, is microperforated for venting of air during filling. The intermediate ply is secured to the inner ply either by a plurality of longitudinally extending transversely space apart lines of adhesive or the securing adhesive is spread completely over the mating surfaces of the two plies.

Abstract: A resealable envelope comprising a flexible plastic back sheet, a backing adhesive applied on a back surface of the flexible plastic back sheet to attach the envelope to a package, a flexible plastic front sheet attached to the back sheet at their respective side edges and bottom edges, a flexible closure flap being adhered directly to the front surface of the back sheet at their respective top edges via a permanent adhesive and overlapping said front sheet, and a resealable adhesive located proximal to the top edge of the front sheet such that the resealable adhesive is capable of fastening said closure flap to the front sheet forming a resealable closure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiwall paper bag that represents an improvement in the field of bags for carrying bulk material, especially particulate or powdered material. The bag has an inner ply of a high performance kraft paper, an intermediate layer or ply of a thin polyethylene secured to the outer surface of the inner ply, and an outer ply of high performance kraft paper that is secured to the intermediate ply. At least one end of the bag is closed during initial formation of the bag. The other end can be left open for filling and subsequent closing, or it can be initially closed and provided with a filling valve. At least the intermediate ply, and preferably the inner ply as well, is microperforated for venting of air during filling. The intermediate ply is secured to the inner ply either by a plurality of longitudinally extending transversely space apart lines of adhesive or the securing adhesive is spread completely over the mating surfaces of the two plies.

Abstract: The valve bag includes a bag body having a valve end portion, the valve end portion constructed to form a filling passage in which a valve sleeve is inserted. The valve sleeve has a first end extending into the interior of the valve bag and a second end extending exteriorily from the bag body. A valve protection member is secured to the second end.

Abstract: A valved bag is provided, having first and second end portions, and at least one in-folded flap member and at least one outer flap member affixed to at least one of the first and second end portions. A cover member is positioned and affixed to the in-folded flap member and outer flap member, prior to final closure of same, for preventing the undesired escape of material from within the bag, subsequent to closure of the ends and filling of the bag.

Abstract: There is described an improved inflatable package comprising outer deformable walls defining at least one fluid-tight chamber therebetween, and a one-way valve disposed within the chamber, to be in fluid communication therewith, the valve permitting the ingress of fluid into the chamber, and preventing the egress of fluid therefrom, the valve including a primary duct and at least one flow channel intersecting the primary duct at an angle to place the primary duct in fluid communication with the interior of the chamber.

Abstract: A closed bag containing two independent compartments has a single opening for filling both compartments simultaneously, the compartments being separable from each other so they can be moved independently.
