Easy open stackable handle bags

A bag pack of stackable handle bags suitable for suspension by laterally spaced support arms of a bag rack, the bag pack comprising:

• (a) a plurality of aligned stackable handle bags, each handle bag having (i) a front wall having a longitudinal axis, (ii) a rear wall having a longitudinal axis, the rear wall joined opposite to the front wall defining an enclosure having an open top, opposed sides and a bottom, (iii) a pair of laterally spaced handles integral with the front and rear walls extending upwardly from the open top, each handle having a handle aperture extending therethrough for receiving a support rod, and (iv) a releasable center mount attached to the front and rear walls of each stackable handle bag on the longitudinal axis of the front and rear walls for receiving a center hook on the bag rack, the center mount releasably supporting each respective handle bag, and each center mount having opposed corners;
• and
• (b) an area of releasable adhesive positioned at an offset area located (i) between the rear wall of each handle bag and the front wall of each subsequent handle bag in the bag pack, (ii) intermediate the longitudinal axis of the front and rear walls and only one of the opposed sides of the bags, and (iii) intermediate the open top and the bottom of the bags, so that when each handle bag is removed from the bag rack by its handles, and during the release of the center mount of the front wall of each subsequent bag from the bag rack, the front wall of each subsequent bag is pulled only from the offset area and the release of the center mount initiates from the corner closest to the area of adhesive;
• wherein the force required to release the releasable adhesive is greater than the force required to release the center mount when the front wall is pulled from only the offset area;
• wherein when each handle bag is removed from the bag rack by its handles and after the center mount is released the front wall of each subsequent bag, the force required to release the area of adhesive is less than the force required to continue to pull the subsequent bag by its front wall.

• and
• (b) an area of releasable, water-based adhesive having a shear strength which is greater than its peel strength positioned at an offset area located (i) between the rear wall of each handle bag and the front wall of each subsequent handle bag in the bag pack, (ii) proximate to the open top of the bags and (iii) intermediate the longitudinal axis of the front and rear walls and one of the opposed sides of the bags, so that when each handle bag is removed from the bag rack by its handles, and during the release of the center mount of the front wall of each subsequent bag from the bag rack, the front wall of each subsequent bag is pulled from the offset area and the release of the center mount initiates from the corner closest to the area of adhesive;
