Abstract

A roll mounted T-shirt bag, method for making and dispenser for same are described. The bag is designed for fresh produce and includes front and rear panels, first and second side gussets, a bottom seam, a top seam and a U-shaped cutout forming an openable bag mouth and a pair of carrying handles. The bags are joined above and below the upper and lower seams at first and second perforation lines. The bags are wound onto a cylindrical core to form a compact roll. In a variant of the invention, the bags are folded inwardly from the side edges prior to rolling onto the core to form a more compact roll. A method is described for forming the bags from an extruded tube of plastic film material. Dispensers are described that are designed to hold the roll mounted bags in both folded and unfolded form. The dispensers include a separating tongue designed to engage the U-shaped cutout. Variants of the invention also include a breaker member designed to facilitate separating the bags from each other at the perforation lines and lateral guide members designed to control lateral movement of the bag roll in the dispenser.
