Reclosable stand-up bag

A reclosable bag, comprising:

• opposing top and bottom panel assemblies, said top panel assembly including a first fin and a second opposing fin, the fins having upper edge portions defining a mouth opening;
• opposing front and back wall panels extending between said top and bottom panel assemblies;
• first and second opposing gusseted side wall panels each side wall panel coupling to and bridging opposing side edges of the front and back wall panels, the coupling wall panels defining wall corners, said gusseted side wall panels being sufficiently rigid to permit the bag to stand upright with said bottom panel assembly contacting a support surface, said first fin being sealed to top portions of said first and second side wall panels, said second fin being sealed to top portions of said first and second side wall panels, the side wall panels including a generally square portion located at a top end, the first and second fins of the top panel assembly being folded over and sealed to the square portion;
• and
• a reclosable closing assembly coupled to the upper edge portions of the first fin and the second fin, the closing assembly allowing for releasable engagement of the first fin and the second fin, said first and second fins being sufficiently wide relative to top portions of said side wall panels that each of said side wall panels are generally flat adjacent to said fins and the bag has a generally box-shaped structure when said first and second fins are engaged using said closing assembly, the closing assembly comprising a zipper including a first track with a first profile and a second track with a second profile, said first and second profiles being releasably engageable to each other, said first track being connected to said upper edge portion of said first fin and said second track being connected to said upper edge portion of said second fin.

A reclosable bag, comprising:

• opposing top and bottom panel assemblies, said top panel assembly including a first fin and a second opposing fin, said first and second fins having respective upper edge portions defining a mouth opening, said first fin having a first pair of opposing end edges generally perpendicular to said upper edge portion of said first fin, said second fin having a second pair of opposing end edges generally perpendicular to said upper edge portion of said second fin;
• opposing front and back wall panels extending between said top and bottom panel assemblies, said first fin and said first pair of opposing end edges extending upwardly from said front wall panel, said second fin and said second pair of opposing end edges extending upwardly from said back wall panel;
• first and second opposing gusseted side wall panels, each side wall panel coupling to and bridging opposing side edges of the front and back wall panels, the coupling wall panels defining wall corners, said gusseted side wall panels being sufficiently rigid to permit the bag to stand upright with said bottom panel assembly contacting a support surface, said first pair of opposing end edges of said first fin being directly sealed to top edges of said respective first and second side wall panels, said second pair of opposing end edges of said second fin being directly sealed to top edges of said respective first and second side wall panels;
• and
• a reclosable closing assembly coupled to the upper edge portions of the first fin and the second fin, the closing assembly allowing for releasable engagement of the first fin and the second fin.

A reclosable bag, comprising:

• opposing top and bottom panel assemblies, said top panel assembly including a first fin and a second opposing fin, said first and second fins having respective upper edge portions defining a mouth opening, said first fin having a first pair of opposing end edges non-parallel to said upper edge portion of said first fin, said second fin having a second pair of opposing end edges non-parallel to said upper edge portion of said second fin;
• opposing front and back wall panels extending between said top and bottom panel assemblies, said first fin and said first pair of opposing end edges extending upwardly from said front wall panel, said second fin and said second pair of opposing end edges extending upwardly from said back wall panel;
• first and second opposing gusseted side wall panels, each side wall panel coupling to and bridging opposing side edges of the front and back wall panels, the coupling wall panels defining wall corners, said gusseted side wall panels being sufficiently rigid to permit the bag to stand upright with said bottom panel assembly contacting a support surface, said first pair of opposing end edges of said first fin being directly sealed to top edges of said respective first and second side wall panels, said second pair of opposing end edges of said second fin being directly sealed to top edges of said respective first and second side wall panels;
• and
• a reclosable closing assembly coupled to the upper edge portions of the first fin and the second fin, the closing assembly allowing for releasable engagement of the first fin and the second fin.
