Abstract
A plastic film bag assembly includes a recloseable plastic film bag made up of a front wall and back wall joined together and having complementary detachably attachable zipper profiles at the bag opening. A lip extends from the front wall above the zipper profiles. A header extends above the back wall above the zipper profiles. A hole is provided through the header at a distance from the header perimeter edge and defining a severable header portion between the hole and the perimeter edge. A slit or perforation may be provided at the severable header portion for controlling the strength thereof. The bags are supported on a stop member which extends through the header holes. The bags are manually individually dispensed by gripping the lip and pulling for at least partially separating the zipper profiles and, thereafter, causing the severable header portion to be severed and thereby causing the bag to be ripped off of the stop member.
