This style bag is gusseted with a square pasted bottom closure. The other end is left open for packing. The customer will close this end by sewing, stapling or taping. Its characteristics are:
· The square end provides a good shape for palletizing and allows the bag to stand up unsupported for filling.
· In small consumer sizes, the bottom provides an area for print identification when the bag is lying on the shelf.
· Recent developments now allow laminated film plies to be used.
· Customer must provide his own closing materials.
· This style bag is used as a consumer package for 10 pounds or less of product, as a baler bag to hold several smaller packages, and for batt insulation. A few customers use this style bag for feed supplements and chemicals.
