Flexible packaging with compression release, top opening feature

摘要

A bag for receiving and containing a substantially stacked array of selected articles includes a flexible front panel which has two opposed side edge regions, a top edge region, and an appointed lengthwise stack direction. A flexible back panel has two opposed side edge regions and a top edge region, and is connected in facing relation to the front panel along the side edge regions thereof. A flexible top gusset connects to the top edge regions of the front and back panels. The top gusset and one or more of the front and back panels have an appointed line of frangibility extending at least partially there across along a direction which is transverse to the stack direction. The line of frangibility is entirely spaced from each of the panel side edge regions by a distance which is not less than 1/2 a width dimension of the stacked array of articles.
