Abstract
A bag dispensing package includes a stack of flat bags and a surrounding flexible receptacle, conveniently in the form of a plastic bag. Each flat bag within the receptacle includes a pair of opposed walls, one of the walls having a manually graspable flap on an outwardly facing surface and the other wall including an extension that extends outwardly from the remainder of the bag. The flexible receptacle includes an access opening arranged to communicate with the manually graspable flap of the uppermost bag of the stack while the remainder of the receptacle retains the extension of the outermost bag within the receptacle. The access opening is normally closed, being defined by a pattern of perforations so that when it is desired to utilize the bags, the opening is formed by tearing the receptacle along the pattern of perforations. The uppermost bag is then removed by grasping the manually graspable flap and pulling the bag outwardly of the receptacle. Interference between the extension and the receptacle causes the bag to open upon withdrawal.
