Abstract
A plant sleeve or plant bag made from a first panel of thin heat-sealable film and a second panel of thin heat-sealable film. The first panel and second panel are joined together along a first longitudinally-extending seam and a second longitudinally-extending seam. The first longitudinally-extending seam forms a first angle between 55.degree. and 65.degree. with a transverse axis of the container. The second longitudinally-extending seam forms a second angle of between 85.degree. and 90.degree. with the transverse axis. The sleeve or bag can include a protruding portion which extends beyond a transversely-extending edge of the container. The protruding portion can have perforations.
Claims4
A plant flat-collapsible-container comprising:
- a first panel made of thin, heat-sealable film;
- a second panel made of thin, heat-sealable film, said second panel adjacent to said first panel;
- a first longitudinally-extending seam and a second longitudinally-extending seam, said first and second panels joined together along said first and second longitudinally-extending seams, said first and second longitudinally-extending seams forming longitudinally-extending sides of the container;
- a first panel transversely-extending long edge forming an edge of said first panel;
- said first panel transversely-extending long edge freely separable from said second panel to form a large opening into an interior of the container;
- a short transversely-extending side defined by said container, said short transversely-extending side opposite said first panel transversely-extending long edge, wherein
- said first longitudinally-extending seam forms a first angle between 55.degree. and 65.degree. with a transverse axis of the container;
- and
- said second longitudinally-extending seam forms a second angle with the transverse axis of the container, said second angle being between 85.degree. and 90.degree., and wherein
- said first and second angles are interior angles on the same side of the transverse axis.
