Large bag with lift straps

摘要

A large bulk container is provided with a lift strap formed from a strip of flexible material for lifting the bulk container. The bulk container has connecting side panels and either a closed or open top and preferably a generally rectangular shape when filled. The strip forms a loop above the panels and has two ends connected in overlapping relationshp to adjacent side panels. A diagonal line of connection is provided between the two sides of the strap forming the loop and above the side panels to orient the lifting forces generally into one plane and in a generally vertical direction. The lift strap thereby prevents separation from the connected side panels and the spilling of the container contents upon lifting by the strap.
