Systems and methods of making a glove pack and for removing gloves from the glove pack are disclosed. The glove pack includes a stack of gloves. The stack of gloves includes a first glove engaging a second glove. The first and second gloves each have an exterior gripping surface. Each exterior gripping surface of the first and second gloves engages and adheres to the exterior gripping surface of the other of the first or second glove in the stack of gloves thereby adhering the first and second gloves together in the stack of gloves such that when the first glove is removed from the stack of gloves at least a portion of the second glove moves with the first glove.

Glove pack and a method of making a glove pack

A glove matrix and method of making gloves from a web of material, which leaves no scrap from the web of material. A first sheet of material is overlaid on a second sheet of material forming a web. First and second glove patterns are formed in the web are arranged to be opposite one another in the cross machine direction of the web. A sinusoidal cut can be made in the web in the machine direction to form glove patterns opposite each other in the cross machine direction.

Glove matrix and method of making gloves

A method of making a pre-stretched plastic packaging film comprising co-extruding a top layer, a bottom layer, and a core layer into a multilayer film intermediate product, wherein the top layer and bottom layer comprise at least about 95 wt % polyethylene resin, and the core layer comprises polyethylene resin and filler particles; stretching the multilayer film intermediate product to impart cavitation in the core layer in the area of the filler particles to form a pre-stretched polyethylene-based film; and rolling the pre-stretched polyethylene-based film onto a roller to form a roll of pre-stretched polyethylene-based film. A multilayer pre-stretched plastic packaging film comprising: a core layer sandwiched between a top layer and a bottom layer wherein the top layer and bottom layer comprise at least about 95 wt % polyethylene, and the core layer comprises filler particles having a particle size of 0.1 to 20 &#x3bc;m in a polyethylene-based matrix comprising at least about 95 wt % polyethylene.

Extruded pre-stretched polyethylene films

A receptacle liner for gripping the receptacle and method of making. A liner may be formed by one or more panels including at least one resilient segment extending from a bottom to a top of the liner. The liner segment can be coextruded so that the resilient segment is made from resilient material and other portions of the liner are made from another material that is less resilient. When the liner is placed in a receptacle, the liner can be expanded by resiliently stretching the resilient segment so that the liner may apply a gripping force to the receptacle. The liner can include gusseted side panels. A mouth can be formed as a recess in the top ends of front and rear panels and extend through the gusseted side panels to define handle portions and form apertures in the handle portions that open to the mouth.

Receptacle liner

A fixture, system, and method for coating a glove with a coating material are described. A fixture includes a support member and a clamping member movable relative to the support member to a closed position. The clamping member is configured to be at least partially received in a cuff of the glove. In the closed position, the cuff is captured between the clamping member and the support member. In this configuration, a majority of an external surface of the glove is exposed for being coated. A glove-coating system can include one or more fixtures on a conveyor that move the fixture around various processing stages of the glove-coating system. In certain methods of coating a glove, coating material is applied to the glove while the glove is suspended from the fixture. The coated glove can be removed from the fixture without being everted.

Produce bag dispenser

A plastic bag having a zipper-type closure which includes opposing closure members which each has a plurality of projections. The projections of the closure members are configured for interlocking and sealing engagement when the zipper is closed. At least one of the projections on one of the closure members is in one embodiment made of a softer material than at least one of the other projections. In some embodiments, the soft projection(s) are not configured for close tolerance fit with complementary mating projections. In some embodiments, the closure is used in combination with a slider. The closure can include deformations for providing tactile or audible feedback against movement of the slider. The closure can include slider rails at a top edge margin to minimize the size of the slider.

Plastic bag with sealable slidable zipper

A plastic bag has a closure comprising first and second mutually interlocking profiles and a slider on the closure adapted to engage the interlocking profiles in locking relationship when the slider is moved across the profiles in a locking direction and to disengage the interlocking profiles when the slider is moved across the profiles in an opening direction opposite the locking direction. Topographical features are spaced periodically along the width of the closure. The topographical features are arranged for engagement with the slider as the slider moves across the profiles. Engagement between the topographical features and the slider produces a locking tactile and audible sensation upon closing the closure which is different from an opening tactile and audible sensation upon opening the closure.

Audible slidable zipper bags

Plastic bag with internal drawtape

A temporary adhesive band provides a releasable sealing structure and a tearing structure in a plastic bag. The band can be coextruded with one or more panels of the bag and can be made from a polymer blend. It can have a relatively thick tear section that defines a tear line at a zone of weakness in the bag so that a closed end of the bag can be easily removed. The band also can have a releasable sealing section that remains attached to the bag after the closed end of the bag has been removed by tearing the bag along the tear line so that the bag can be resealed once it has been opened. The releasable sealing section of the temporary adhesive band is preferably made from a coextruded material with tacky properties so that no additional adhesive is required for resealing the bag.

Bag with re-sealable and tearable band

An envelope has an envelope body formed by opposing panels that define an interior and an opening. A closure is joined to and extends up from the top margin of one panel. The envelope is configured such that the interior surface of the closure is sealable to the other panel to permanently close the envelope opening. The closure includes a closure panel and a tear band coextruded with the closure panel. The tear band is composed of a polymeric material having lower tear strength than the material of the closure panel. The tear band defines a zone of weakness extending along the width of the closure for opening the closure by tearing along the zone of weakness after it is permanently closed.
