A pre-formed bags dispenser comprises a container (1) having an access aperture (8), a stack (9) of pre-formed bags (10) located in the container and having a first portion (12) deviated, preferably folded, at a transverse bend (11) from a second portion (13) containing mouth ends (18) of the bags, and attachment means (20) in the container separably attached to the mouth ends (18) at lines of weakening (22), e.g. perforations. Front walls (15) of the bags at the second portion (13), tensioned by the bending of the stack, are presented towards the access aperture (8). The bag nearest to the access aperture can be drawn out through the aperture by pulling its front wall, with one hand, relative to the attachment means. As the bag is so pulled its month is opened and the separable attachment to the attachment means is released. The attachment means, in one form, comprises a bar block separably joined to the mouths and/or handles of the bags. The container may be in the form of a box substantially closed apart from the access aperture, a tray or a bag.
A carrier bag (10) comprises front and rear layers (12, 14) forming a closed base end (16), closed side edges (18, 20) and a open mouth end (22). Handles (24, 26) are separate from and secured to the front and rear layers. Apertures (28, 30) are formed through the front and rear layers (12, 14) so as to extend rally through the bag. The apertures are arranged spaced from one another, one on either side of the handles, preferably adjacent the mouth end. A stack of such bags and a dispenser carrying such a stack are also within the ambit of the invention.
A support for hanging a vest style bag with a connector connecting a handle of the bag to an other handle and / or the bag mouth and / or a bag tab, on a conventional display apparatus, the support comprising a display apparatus attachment formation to allow attachment of the support to the conventional display apparatus and a retention formation configured to at least partially surround the connector such that a main portion of the bag may be removed from the support whilst the connector is retained in the support. A method of manufacturing a support for hanging a vest style bag with a connector connecting a handle of the bag to an other handle and / or the bag mouth and / or a bag tab on a conventional display apparatus, comprising the steps of providing a sheet of material forming an attachment formation in the sheet of material to allow attachment of the support to the conventional display apparatus and forming a retention formation in the sheet of material configured to at least partially surround the connector, the retention formation defining a further retention formation for retaining a part of the connector.
A stack of bags, each bag comprising a bag body (10) formed from front and rear layers of sheet material, the bag body having closed sides (12.14). a closed base end (16), an open mouth end (18) opposite the base end and handles (20,22) extending from the open mouth end away from the base end, the front and rear layers of sheet material each comprising a tab (30) extending from the mouth to one or both of the handles, each tab being connected to the or each handle or to the mouth end of the bag by a frangible connection, the tab on the rear layer of one bag being separably attached to the tab on the front layer of the subsequent bag.
A stack of bags comprising a plurality of bags having a first design, material or colour and a bag having a first design, material or colour an a bag having a second, different design, material or colour in the stack. An apparatus for making a stack of bags comprising a first reel of bag material, the bags having a first design, colour or material or two which said first design or colour is to be applied, a second reel of bags material having a second, different design, colour or material or to which the second, different design or colour is to be applied and means to form a bag form a bag length of bag material from the second reel and to introduce a bag so formed into bags formed from the bag material on the first reel. A method of making a stack of bags comprising providing a first reel of bag material having a first design, colour or material or to which a first design or colour is to be applied, providing a second reel of bag material having a second design, colour or material or to which a second design or colour is to be applied, feeding material from said first reel to means for forming a bag, applying the first design or colour, where not already applied, feeding material from said second reel to the means for forming a bag, applying the second design or colour where not already applied and arranging bags from the first and second reels into a stack.
The invention is related to a flexible container (1), especially a carrier bag, comprising an opening (6) and an adjacent base having at least one sheet-like nonwoven web as a side wall (2,3) with said container. At least one handle feature (8) is included through, or bonded to the sidewalls of the container. Additionally a method is described to achieve these flexible containers.
