Abstract:
A roll mounted plastic produce bag, comprising:a front panel, said front panel having first and second parallel linear side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge; a rear panel said rear panel having first and second parallel linear side edges, a top edge and a bottom edge; two front gusset panels of a first predetermined dimension, each front gusset panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, first and second parallel side edges and being joined at said first side edge to one of the linear side edges of the front panel and extending from the top edge of the front panel to the bottom edge thereof; two rear gusset panels of the first predetermined dimension, each rear gusset panel having a top edge, a bottom edge, first and second parallel side edges and being joined at said first side edge to one of the linear side edges of the rear panel and extending from the top edge of the rear panel to the bottom edge thereof; each front gusset panel also joined to a respective one of said rear gusset panels at said second side edge; each of the front and rear gusset panels being folded inwardly relative to the front and the rear panel; the top edges of the front panel, the rear panel, the front gusset panels and the rear gusset panels terminating in a first perforation line, said first perforation line being perpendicular to the linear side edges of the front and rear panels; an upper seam, said upper seam connecting the front panel, the rear panel, the front gusset panels and the rear gusset panels at a level spaced downwardly from and parallel to said first perforation line; the bottom edges of the front panel, the rear panel, the front gusset panels and the rear gusset panels terminating in a second perforation line, said second perforation line being perpendicular to the linear side edges of the front and rear panels; a lower seam, said lower seam connecting the front panel, the rear panel, the front gusset panels and the rear gusset panels at a level spaced upwardly from and parallel to said second perforation line; a U-shaped cutout, said U-shaped cutout being disposed in an upper portion of the bag and commencing at a first point along the first perforation line spaced inwardly from said first linear side edge and extending to a second point along the first perforation line spaced inwardly from said second linear side edge, said cutout extending downwardly toward the lower seam, thereby forming an open mouth and a pair of bag handles; said second perforation line attaching the bag to a subsequent bag; and said bags being rolled from their upper seams toward their lower seams onto a core to form a compact roll from which the bags are dispensed.
