Bulk bag with perforated sections

A method of dispensing a pourable product from a bag, the method comprising:

• providing a bag comprising:
• front and back panels each comprising:
• first and second end portions presenting respective outermost edges;
• first and second side portions presenting respective outermost edges, said front and back panels and said end and side portions cooperating to form a chamber for holding the pourable product, said first end portion and said first side portion cooperating to form a first corner;
• a seam extending between the first and second side portion outermost edges;
• and
• perforations at said first corner, said perforations extending in a non-linear fashion from the outermost edge of said first end portion, to the outermost edge of said first side portion, said perforations having a radius of curvature of from about 3 inches to about 4 inches when measured from a point that is about 0.25 inches to about 2 inches from said seam and about 0.1 inches to about 0.75 inches from the outermost edge of said first side portion;
• and
• a quantity of the pourable product in said chamber;
• tearing said first corner at said perforations to form an opening;
• and
• causing said pourable product to exit the bag through the opening.

A bag for holding a pourable product, said bag comprising front and back panels each comprising:

• first and second end portions presenting respective outermost edges;
• first and second side portions presenting respective outermost edges, said front and back panels and said end and side portions cooperating to form a chamber for holding the pourable product, said first end portion and said first side portion cooperating to form a first corner;
• perforations at said first corner, said perforations extending in a non-linear fashion from the outermost edge of said first end portion to the outermost edge of said first side portion;
• and
• a handle adjacent at least one of said first and second end portions and integrally formed with said bag.

A bag for holding a pourable product, said bag comprising front and back panels each comprising:

• first and second end portions presenting respective outermost edges;
• first and second side portions presenting respective outermost edges, said front and back panels and said end and side portions cooperating to form a chamber for holding the pourable product, there being a width “W,” defined as the shortest distance between the respective outermost edges of said first and second side portions, said first end portion and said first side portion cooperating to form a first corner;
• a first set of perforations at said first corner, said first set of perforations extending in a non-linear fashion from the outermost edge of said first end portion, or from a seam or area near to said outermost edge of said first end portion, to the outermost edge of said first side portion;
• and
• a second set of perforations extending from one of said respective outermost edges of said first and second side portions a distance of at least about 50% of “W” towards the other of said respective outermost edges of said first and second side portions.
