A rack for dspensing rolled plastic bags from a rack, which can be mounted in a variety of positions throughout a store. The rack is formed so that it will support a roll of bags while maintaining friction between the roll of bags and a fixed surface, as the bags are unrolled by the user. The rack is formed so that the friction between the roll of bags and the fixed surface increases as the size of the roll decreases; thus as inertia decreases, friction increases, keeping resistance to unrolling within a specific range. The roll of bags is supported on a support of the rack by either; a single sided arm which rotates around a fixed point and passes through the core of the roll of bags, acting as an axle for the roll; or a double sided arm, which rotates around a fixed point, and supports the core of the roll of bags on both sides of the roll. Both embodiments also have a means for separating one bag from the next, and for keeping the unrolling bags aligned to the means of separation, as the user pulls on the roll of bags to dispense the bags.
