Benefits of technology

"The invention is a package for multiple bags of insulation products. The package includes a flexible sleeve with handles that are directly attached to the ends of the sleeve. The handles can bend and move to make them easier to grasp when the sleeve is covered. The package also includes a seamless sleeve and a longitudinal side seam along a side of the sleeve. The technical effects of this invention include improved handling and access for the insulation products, as well as a more stable and durable package design."

Problems solved by technology

Because the unit package is bulky and awkward to move, the handles must be uncovered for safe and convenient use.
