The new handled bag replaces a heavier bag structure with a die-cut handle that was reinforced by the manual application of tape, says Mark Teixeira, former vice president of operations at MFM.
“We had a heavy-duty structure at that time, eight mils of linear-low-density polyethylene laminated to one mil of cast nylon,” he tells Packaging World. “Even then, we found we had to reinforce the handle area with tape that was manually applied, just for added security.” Then, at a stand-up pouch conference in January ’02, Teixeira learned about the 2N2 handle.
