ABSTRACT:
A new Produce Bag for offering a more efficient and effective packaging method for fruits and vegetables. The inventive device includes a bottom portion, and a top portion joined to the bottom portion to form a tubular body defining a pair of superimposed panels in a flattened state, wherein the tubular body has an open top end and a closed bottom end. The bottom portion is made from a net material and the top portion is made from a sheet material, wherein the top portion is adapted for use with a standard automatic bag filling machine as well as a standard automatic bag closure machine. Whereas a bag made entirely from a net material cannot be used with a standard automatic bag filling machine nor a standard automatic bag closure machine. The top portion includes a front panel and a back panel wherein the back panel includes an extended portion extending beyond a top edge of the front panel. A pair of spaced holes and a pair of spaced slits are provided in the extended portion of the back panel to allow the produce bag to be used with a standard automatic bag filling machine. The pair of spaced holes allow the produce bag to be hung from a pair of protruding hanger rods provided on a standard automatic bag filling machine and the pair of spaced slits facilitate removal of the produce bag from the pair of protruding hanger rods after the produce bag has been filled.
