Abstract

An easy opening bag pack and supporting rack system is provided which includes a plurality of gussetted bags of the T-shirt type or of the flat top type provided with bag mounting apertures through all of the bag walls on opposed sides thereof and additional cuts in the front wall portion and the front section of the gussetted side wall portions and in communication with the bag mounting apertures therein for effectively enlarging such apertures. A rack mounts the bag pack through the mounting apertures and includes stub shaft supports laterally spaced from each other and being a length less than the outwardly extending dimensions of an open bag and greater than the thickness of the bag pack and include an enlarged portion on the free outer ends thereof of greater dimensions than the bag mounting apertures. With this construction, the front wall and the front section of the gussetted side walls may be easily pulled from the stub shaft supports to open the outermost bag in the pack while retaining the rear wall and the rear section of the gussetted side wall of the bag on the stub shaft supports so that the bag is partially held on the rack in the opened position during loading. A method of fabricating the bags is also provided which forms the additional cut to enlarge the bag mounting apertures in the front wall and front section of the gussetted side walls by cutting against flat plates positioned within the gusset folds of a continuous tube of film being utilized to fabricate the bags.
