Abstract
A thermoplastic film bag pack where each bag has a bottom, front, rear, and gusseted side walls, an inside and outside surface and a cut-edge mouth portion. The mouth portion has double film loop handles as integral extensions of the walls at its opposite ends. The external surface of the bag at the cut-edge region of the mouth between handles has been subjected to a corona discharge treatment to such an extent that adjacently facing cut-edge regions will be releasably adherent until a moderate force separates them. This condition provides for effective dispensing of grocery bags. A method of forming the bags and a system for dispensing is also disclosed.
