Claims18
A method of making a flexible packaging bag, comprising the steps of:
- providing a top layer with an outer pair of holes and an inner pair of holes,
- providing a bottom layer with an outer pair of holes and an inner pair of holes,
- providing a bag opening,
- providing a bag window,
- slitting the top layer from the outer pair of holes to the bag opening, and
- notching the inner pair of holes of the top layer.
A method of making a flexible packaging bag, comprising the steps of:
- providing a top layer with an outer pair of holes and an inner pair of holes,
- providing a bottom layer with an outer pair of holes and an inner pair of holes,
- providing a bag opening,
- positioning a bag window partially in the top layer and partially in the bottom layer,
- slitting one of the top layer and the bottom layer from the respective outer pair of holes and the bag opening, and
- slitting the other of the top layer and the bottom layer from the respective inner pair of holes to the bag opening.
A method of making a flexible packaging bag, comprising the steps of:
- providing a top layer,
- providing a bottom layer,
- providing a bag opening,
- positioning a bag window partially in the top layer and partially in the bottom layer,
- spacing apart a pair of holes in the top layer a first distance,
- cutting in the top layer corner cutouts adjacent the bag opening,
- spacing apart a pair of holes in the bottom layer a second distance greater than the first distance, and
- cutting in the bottom layer a cutout between the pair of holes and adjacent the bag opening.

- providing a top layer,
- providing a bottom layer,
- providing a bag opening,
- providing a bag window,
- spacing apart a pair of holes in one of the top layer and the bottom layer a first distance,
- cutting in the one of the top layer and the bottom layer corner cutouts adjacent the bag opening,
- spacing apart a pair of holes in the other of the top layer and bottom layer a second distance, and
- cutting in the other of the top layer and the bottom layer a cutout between the pair of holes and adjacent the bag opening.
