Article for holding product and methods

A bag comprising:

• a first sidewall;
• a second sidewall coupled to the first sidewall defining an interior volume between the first sheet and the second sheet;
• and
• a die-cut handle having flaps, the flaps consisting of a first flap and a second flap, the first flap coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall along a first axis, the second flap coupled to the first sidewall and the second sidewall along a second axis, the first axis and second axis perpendicular to one another,
• wherein the first and second flaps are configured to flex between a closed position where the flaps are substantially planar with the first and second sidewall and an open position where the flaps are not-planar the first and second sidewall,
• the first flap separated from the second flap by a cut line through the first and second sheet allowing the first flap and second flap to move independently from one another;
• wherein the first flap and second flap together entirely occlude an aperture passing through the first sidewall and the second sidewall in the area of the die-cut handle when in the closed position
• wherein when the first flap and second flap are in the open position at least a portion of the first flap or at least a portion of the second flap extends through the aperture through the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

An article for holding a product, the article comprising:

• a first sheet;
• a second sheet coupled to the first sheet defining an interior volume between the first sheet and the second sheet;
• and
• a handle region defining an aperture passing through the first sheet and the second sheet, the handle region having flaps, the flaps consisting of a first flap and a second flap, the first flap coupled to the first sheet and the second sheet along a first axis, the second flap coupled to the first sheet and the second sheet along a second axis, the first axis and second axis perpendicular to one another, the first flap defined by a first arcuate cut line, and the first axis, the second flap defined by the first arcuate cut line, a second arcuate cut line and the second axis, the first flap and the second flap configured to flex away from the handle region, the first flap separated from the second flap by the first arcuate cut line through the first and second sheet allowing the first flap and second flap to move independently from one another;
• the first axis disposed in the direction of a line connecting a first point and a second point;
• wherein the first arcuate cut line starts at the first point and ends at the second point;
• the second axis disposed in the direction of a line connecting the first point and a third point;
• wherein the second arcuate cut line starts at the third point and ends at the second point;
• the first sheet and the second sheet each comprising four edges and four corners, the handle region disposed in one of the four corners, the first axis disposed along a first edge of the aperture adjacent to the corner and second axis disposed along a second edge of the aperture adjacent to the corner;
• the first flap and second flap together occluding the entire area of the aperture when not flexed away from the handle region;
• and
• when the first flap and second flap are flexed away from the handle region at least a portion of the first flap or at least a portion of the second flap extends through the aperture through the first sheet and the second sheet.
