providing at least one of a slider, sticker, textured surface, pattern, or embossed surface along a first half-web and a second half-web of thermoplastic material that together comprise a plurality of container templates, each container template having a first opposing wall and a second opposing wall, a seam defined by a junction of the first opposing wall and the second opposing wall, opposing first and second upper ends of the first and second walls, respectively, defined opposite the seam, and a first side and a second side defined between the seam and the opposing first and second upper ends;
picking up, with a turner, each container template in a horizontal orientation, the turner including one or more rotator assemblies including a rotatable shaft and a bag-contacting surface connected to an end of the rotatable shaft, the bag-contacting surface being configured to engage a top exterior side of each container template;
reorienting in a horizontal plane, with the turner, each container template, the rotatable shaft being configured to horizontally translate and rotate each container template, wherein each container template remains horizontal during translation and rotation; and
depositing each container template in the horizontal orientation so that the first and second sides of each container template are parallel to a direction of travel of the container template.
