A package of moist wipes includes a substantially water-vapor impervious flexible film sheet surrounding the moist wipes, and the flexible film sheet defines an inner surface and an outer surface. The package includes at least one seam in which the flexible film is bonded to itself via energy. The seam includes an inner-surface-to-inner-surface energy bonded portion and an outer-surface-to-outer-surface energy bonded portion. In particular embodiments, a top wall is tucked toward a bottom wall adjacent the two side walls to define gusset portions. The top wall can include a resealing mechanism adapted to cover a dispensing orifice.

A new package for storing bulky goods is disclosed. The package is formed from a bag having a width and depth at its base portion and meeting at a top edge, the top edge having no depth. Due to the top edge having no depth, the width of the material on the top portion of the package extends out further than the width of the material on the base portion. To create a package having streamlined aesthetic that looks nice on a shelf, the excess material in the top portion of the bag is folded into the interior of the bag to form a false side gusset. To allow for such folding the bag, in desirable embodiments, side edges of a first and second web forming the bag angle inward at between about 30 degrees and about 60 degrees at a top portion transition point on the bag.

Packaging for bulky articles with false side gusset

A RFID related system and method for tracking articles that are not individually labeled with RFID tags. A transporter with an RFID reader identifies a carrier with an RFID tag as it is disposed onto the transporter. The location and/or number of the disassociated articles, once removed or otherwise disassociated with the carrier are transmitted to a computer on the transporter. Tagged carriers that continue to have articles associated therewith are removed from the transporter and placed back into storage. The computer may transmit data regarding the carrier and articles to a database.
