The combination of a pack of plastic T-shirt merchandise bags and a dispensing rack therefor,

• each plastic T-shirt bag having a lower openable portion for receiving and retaining articles to be carried in the bag, said portion being accessible through a centrally disposed mouth, said mouth being partially defined laterally by a pair of handles spaced from each other and extending upwardly from bases on each side of said bag mouth, said bag being formed of a front wall and a back wall secured together around their bottom and side edges and across the upper handle edges, said side edges being folded inwardly of to form gussets having their folded edges disposed between the bag walls;
• mounting orifices extending through the bag walls and gussets, each mounting orifice being disposed adjacent, but spaced inwardly of a side edge of the bag at the approximate level of the bases of the handles;
• the upper central portion of the bag walls defining the bag mouth between the bases of the pair of handles, and including at least one orificed retainer means;
• and
• the dispensing rack comprising a pair of parallel co-extensive horizontal rods spaced from each other by the distance between the mounting orifices extending through the bag walls and gussets, said rods being supported by backing means disposed at a height not less than the distance between the lower edges of the bags of the bag pack and the bag mounting orifices extending through the bag walls and gussets;
• each of said rods extending from said backing means for a distance at least as great as the thickness of bag pack plus the distance between the bag walls when a bag of the pack is disposed on the rods and is open to its widest extent;
• and said backing means further having a retainer disposed intermediate the rods, and in alignment with the orificed retainer means in the bags of the pack, and passed through said orificed retainer means.
