Abstract
A process for making a roll of plastic bags made from a two-ply web sealed along its sides. Perforations for the top edges of each bag are made simultaneously and separately in each of the two plys of the web forming the bag. The bottom of each bag is formed by a transverse seal. To further enhance ease of opening, at least a portion of the top edge on one ply of the bag is non-coincident with the top edge on the other ply of the bag.
Claims4
A process for forming a continuous roll of plastic bags comprising:
- (a) feeding a first sheet of plastic material over a separating anvil;
- (b) feeding a second sheet of plastic material below said separating anvil;
- (c) making a series of perforations in said first sheet by applying a serrator against said sheet on top of said separating anvil;
- (d) making a series of perforations in said second sheet by applying a serrator against said sheet below said separating anvil;
- (e) said first and second series of perforations being made in said sheets separately and simultaneously from each other and out of registration with each other whereby the series of perforations in said first sheet and the series of perforations on said second sheet are essentially noncoincident with each other;
- and
- (f) heat sealing said first and second sheets together transversely to form the bottoms of each plastic bag and longitudinally to form the sides of the bag.
