A produce bag dispenser with a uninstructural base and with guides, which comprises:
- a) a uninstructural base frame adapted to receive and nest a plastic produce bag roll, having a forward end and a rearward end, and including at least two back sections, a bottom section and a rip tongue, said at least two back sections having at least one back section at said rearward end having an arcuate shape from a side view, and said rip tongue being located at said forward end and on said bottom section, said rip tongue having an upward taper and adapted to catch and separate a passing plastic produce bag from a nested plastic produce bag roll;
- b) a set of opposing side guide panels connected to said unistructural base frame and rising upwardly therefrom for stabilizing the movement of a nested plastic produce bag roll;
- c) a plastic produce bag guide bar having a horizontal portion traversing from one of said opposing side panels to the other of said opposing side panels and located above said unistructural base frame to create a flow space to guide a plastic produce bag roll from a nesting position on said unistructural base frame to said rip tongue in a flow path between said guide bar and said unistructural base frame.
