Two-handle bags salt of the earth

The Cargill Salt Business Unit of Cargill, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, determined through consumer input that two handles would be better than one to pick up, carry, and empty the 40-lb bags of Diamond Crystal water conditioning salt.

Pw 12464 Dcez Handle

The patent-pending bag is claimed to be the first with two handles ever produced for consumer and commercial markets. The bags are from Exopack.

Both handle cut outs, on seals at the bag’s top and bottom, are reinforced with a patch for comfort and durability, says Nancy Lucas, director of marketing and pricing for Cargill. A die-cut notch at the top side edge promotes easy opening. Flexo printing of revamped graphics is in two colors including copy that says “2 easy grip handles.” The word “pellets” was vertical rather than horizontal on previous bag graphics, and a waterfall graphic was used rather than the new raindrops pattern.
