Abstract
A roll of plastic refuse bags comprises a fully gussetted, tubular form folded longitudinally to form a star seal configuration. The individual bags are separated by separation lines which form the open ends of the bags and welds which form the closed ends of the bags. A tie cut-out region is formed in each bag along one of the longitudinal edges beneath the separation line so that when an individual bag is separated from the roll and opened, four ties are formed which can be used to tie the bag closed.
Claims4
A roll of plastic refuse bags, comprising a fully gussetted tubular form folded longitudinally to form a star seal configuration in which one longitudinal edge is a single longitudinal fold and the other longitudinal edge comprises four gusset folds, the bags being separated by straight separation lines which form the open ends of the bags and seals which form the closed ends of adjacent bags, each separation line including a slot for engaging a tongue to separate the leading bag from the roll of bags, wherein a tie cut-out region is removed from each bag in at least one of the longitudinal edges behind the separation line so that when a bag is separated from the roll and opened, four ties are formed which can be used to tie the bag closed, said ties being unconnected to each other at their upper ends.
A roll of plastic bags, comprising a fully gussetted tubular form containing a multiplicity of bags, with adjacent bags separated from each other by a seal line and a straight separation line behind the seal line, and at least two tie cut-out regions removed from each bag behind the separation line so that when an individual bag is separated from the roll and opened, at least two ties are formed which can be used to tie the bag closed, said ties being unconnected to each other at their upper ends.
