[0004] Packaging bags and side-gusseted bags
[0005] Description:
[0006] The present invention relates to a packaging bag with a filling space bounded by bag walls and with at least one carrying handle arrangement on one of the bag walls, wherein the carrying handle arrangement comprises a carrier tag and a handle strap arrangement arranged on the carrier tag, wherein the handle strap arrangement has a central section along a longitudinal direction and, extending from this in the direction of two opposite ends, attachment sections at which the handle strap arrangement is connected to the carrier tag, wherein the carrier tag extends longitudinally beyond the handle strap arrangement and is attached by a fastening seam to an inner side of the associated bag wall, and wherein the handle strap arrangement is accessible from an outer side of the bag.
[0007] Packaging bags of the type described above are typically used to accommodate increased fill weight or to allow for a large fill volume. Therefore, carrying handles are often incorporated in practice to make the packaging bags easier for a user to handle.
[0008] The packaging bag is generally a disposable product, which is why the aim is to manufacture it as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible with minimal material usage. Furthermore, the carrying handle arrangement should also ensure maximum comfort, while preventing the handle from cutting into the user's hand, tearing, or excessive deformation of the packaging bag during carrying.

[0012] From DE 203 11 386 U1, a particularly simple embodiment of a carrying handle arrangement is known, in which the handle strip can be gripped by a user's hand at its longitudinal edges on the central handle section, with the carrier label being arranged exclusively below and to the sides of the handle strip. The carrying handle arrangement is attached to a heat-sealable inner surface of the associated bag wall. Preferably, the handle strip, formed by a simple film strip, is attached to the carrier label only at its two opposite ends, for which purpose heat sealing is particularly recommended.
[0013] According to another embodiment known from DE 203 11 386 U1, the backing paper and the handle strip are of the same length. This offers the advantage that the carrying handle assembly can be manufactured more easily, since two film strips of different widths can be fed in lengthwise and laid on top of each other. The two film strips are then joined to form the backing paper and the handle strip, and individual carrying handle assemblies can then be cut from such a strand. Although the length of the middle handle section is increased, resulting in improved comfort, practical experience has shown that leaks and bulges can form on the inside of the bag wall where the handle strip is located.In particular, a step forms at the longitudinal edges of the grip tape, which can lead to leaks and also to significant distortions during heat sealing.
[0014] EP 3037360 A1 therefore teaches an embodiment in which, along the longitudinal direction, the distance between the ends of the grip tape and each adjacent edge of the backing paper is between 8 mm and 22 mm, and wherein the backing paper is sealed with a heat-sealed seam which

[0016] Patent application dated January 13, 2026, Mondi AG (X 28 157 / Ri / Ve)

[0018] The heat seal extends between the ends of the handle and the adjacent edge of the backing paper and is attached to one side of the corresponding bag wall. Accordingly, a more complex process is required to ensure that the heat seal forms a closed, frame-like seal around the handle, resulting in a particularly reliable and tight closure. The risk of the heat seal bursting due to mechanical stress is also reduced by maintaining essentially consistent conditions along the entire length of the heat seal.
[0019] Although the existing solutions have proven to be very practical, it has also been shown that, particularly in the case of empty packaging bags lying flat, the arrangement of the carrying handle can greatly contribute to the packaging bag standing up a bit, resulting in a not insignificant increase in stacking height, especially when there are many stacked, flat packaging bags.
[0020] This is particularly problematic when the carrying handle assembly is located in an area of the packaging bag where the handle assembly itself is folded inwards when lying flat. This could, for example, involve attaching the carrying handle assembly in the area of the side gusset of a side-gusseted bag. Accordingly, in an embodiment based on EP 3037601 A1, the handle strap is folded onto itself in the area of the side gusset, so that, due to the thickness of the handle strap, the side gussets are forced apart to some extent. This not only increases the height of the flat packaging bag but also creates a kind of tilt, which leads to problems, especially when many packaging bags are stacked on top of each other.

[0024] The stability of the stack cannot be guaranteed.
[0025] Against this background, the present task is to specify a packaging bag which is characterized by improved handling and stackability in a flat state.
[0026] The subject and solution of this problem is a packaging bag according to claim 1. According to the invention, the handle assembly comprises two handles arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction, each attached to the bag wall in its central section. In particular, the handle assembly consists of exactly two handles, although it is of course not excluded that three, four, or more handles may be provided. In any case, the handle assembly is segmented in such a way that the handles are arranged relative to each other in an area that allows the bag wall, and thus the handle assembly, to fold inwards without significant impairment.
[0027] This is achieved, for example, by explicitly leaving the area of a fold line free from the handle assembly. By shifting the handles outwards, the fold line is kept clear, thus reducing the forces required to stand the bag up. At the same time, the stability of the carrying handle assembly and ease of handling are increased by attaching the handles to the bag wall in the central area. Accordingly, the carrying handle assembly is covered, at least in the area of the handles, by the bag wall itself, which thus becomes part of the carrying handle assembly to some extent, as it connects the handles, at least indirectly, and therefore contributes to distributing the load of the filling weight.

[0031] The pressure is not transmitted solely to the user's hand via the grip tape. Therefore, a particularly high level of user comfort is maintained, effectively preventing, for example, the grip tape from cutting into the palm of the hand.
[0032] Furthermore, it is important for the packaging bag that the handle straps are only directly connected to the bag wall in the central area, while beyond this point, force is transmitted exclusively via the attachment points and thus via the label to the bag wall. This allows the label to be attached to the bag wall as tightly as possible and without distortion. At the same time, improved force transmission between the carrying handle assembly and the bag wall is achieved, as a certain portion of the load can already be absorbed by the handle straps and transferred through deformation.
[0033] To allow access to the handles, various bag wall designs are conceivable. For example, the bag wall associated with the carrying handle assembly can have a perforation or a cutout on one or both sides of the handle assembly, so that the handles of the handle assembly can be held by gripping under a section of the bag wall and the packaging bag can be carried.
[0034] A particularly preferred embodiment is one in which the distance between the grip strips is between 2 mm and 10 mm, especially between 4 mm and 8 mm. Such an embodiment makes it possible to keep the area intended for the folding edge sufficiently clear.
[0035] Furthermore, according to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that a nd re je ws ki • h on ke

[0039] Along the longitudinal direction, the distance between the ends of the handle strips and each adjacent edge of the backing paper is between 8 mm and 22 mm. Accordingly, a precisely defined overhang is provided, which on the one hand ensures reliable attachment of the backing paper to the inside of the bag wall, and on the other hand allows for efficient use of space. Along the entire attachment seam connecting the backing paper to the inside of the bag wall, the backing paper rests directly on the inside, so that there are no steps or similar features. This ensures even force distribution and secure attachment. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the distance between the ends of the handle strips and each adjacent edge of the backing paper is between 10 mm and 20 mm, for example, approximately 17 mm.
[0040] The carrier tag has a longitudinal length of between 200 mm and 240 mm, particularly between 210 mm and 230 mm. The width of the carrier tag is selected to ensure both secure attachment and comfortable handling with minimal material usage. Preferably, the width of the carrier tag perpendicular to its longitudinal direction is between 75 mm and 95 mm. The width of the grip straps also significantly contributes to ease of use, with a preferred design having a width of between 15 mm and 25 mm, particularly between 18 mm and 22 mm.
[0041] Furthermore, the handles preferably have a longitudinal length of between 170 mm and 200 mm. In principle, it is conceivable that the handles differ in length and / or width. However, to enable the simplest possible process, it is intended that the two handles are aligned.

[0045] have identical length and / or width.
[0046] A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the grip tapes are attached to the backing sheet at the fastening sections, in particular at all fastening sections, by means of two first connecting seams spaced apart longitudinally. Within the scope of the invention, a seam is defined as a connecting area whose length is at least twice, and in particular 2.5 times, the thickness. Furthermore, the connecting seam preferably has a thickness of max. 5 mm.
[0047] To ensure a sufficiently stable attachment of the grip tapes to the backing sheet, they are preferably connected to the backing sheet in each attachment section via two spaced-apart seams. This allows for simple manufacturing while simultaneously providing sufficient connection strength. In total, each grip tape is thus attached to the backing sheet via four separate seams, with two seams in each attachment section.
[0048] According to a preferred embodiment, the handle straps are each attached to the corresponding bag wall in the central section via a second connecting seam. While the first connecting seams typically run transversely, particularly perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the second connecting seam extends along the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the second connecting seam may be wider than the width of the first connecting seams.
[0049] To enable sufficient yet flexible attachment of the handle straps to the associated bag wall, a preferred embodiment provides that the second attachment seams extend over 40% to 70% of the side.

[0053] Extend the length of the grip tapes.
[0054] A preferred embodiment further provides that the fastening seam connecting the backing sheet to the bag wall is closed in a frame-like manner around the handle assembly. This results in a particularly reliable, tight seal. Alternatively, however, it is also possible for the fastening seam connecting the backing sheet to the bag wall to run in a frame-like manner around the handle assembly and to have at least one interruption as a vent channel. Within the scope of the invention, the advantage arises that the shape of the interruption allows for precise adjustment of the valve function.
[0055] The type of fastening seam and / or joining seams is not fundamentally limited to a specific design. For example, they can be heat-sealed or adhesive-sealed. The choice depends primarily on the material used for the handle tapes, the backing paper, and the bag wall.
[0056] To ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity, the thickness of the grip tape is preferably between 200 pm and 500 pm. A multi-layered design of the grip tape is generally preferred. In a multi-layered design, different materials can be combined to optimize the mechanical properties and, in particular, the load-bearing capacity. For example, the grip tape can be three-layered, with outer layers made of polyolefin, especially polyethylene, and a core layer made of a rigid material, such as oriented polyamide.
[0057] In this context, both symmetrical and an and re je ws ki • h on ke come into play.

[0059] Patent application dated January 13, 2026, Mondi AG (X 28 157 / Ri / Ve)
[0060] 9
[0061] Asymmetric layer compositions are considered, wherein the outer layers are preferably thicker than the core layer.
[0062] The handle tape is advantageously heat-sealable on the side that rests on the backing paper, in order to easily attach it to the backing paper by creating a first seam designed as a heat-sealable seam. The side that rests against the associated bag wall is also preferably heat-sealable, so that the second seam can also be designed as a heat-sealable seam. With such a design, it is naturally advantageous if the associated bag wall has at least one heat-sealable inner surface. Based on such a design, the attachment seam by which the backing paper is connected to the bag wall can then also be designed as a heat-sealable seam.
[0063] The backing paper preferably has an asymmetrical, multi-layered structure because it only needs to be heat-sealable on its first side, which faces the inside of the bag wall. Preferably, the opposite side of the backing paper does not melt during heat sealing to prevent contamination of the heat-sealing tool. The backing paper can, for example, have a layer of polyolefin, particularly polyethylene, that is readily heat-sealable, and a layer of polyamide or polyethylene terephthalate that is less readily heat-sealable. Such a layer that is less readily heat-sealable can also contribute to stiffening the backing paper and thus increasing its load-bearing capacity, even if such a layer is preferably relatively thin and, for example, has a thickness between 10 pm and 30 pm.
[0064] The total thickness of the backing paper can, for example, range between 140 mm and re je ws ki • h on ke

[0068] The thickness may be 250 pm, and a barrier layer can easily be provided. This barrier layer could be, for example, a metallized plastic layer, a metal layer (especially aluminum), or a plastic barrier layer (e.g., EVOH).
[0069] It is also within the scope of the invention that adhesive seams are used as fastening or joining seams instead of heat-sealed seams. These are preferably hot-melt adhesives or polyurethane-based adhesives. Such a design is particularly advantageous when heat sealing is not possible due to the materials used. According to this design, for example, it is possible to provide a corresponding carrying handle arrangement even with paper bag walls. Furthermore, it can also be provided that the bag walls, or at least the bag wall facing the carrying handle arrangement, have at least one heat-sealable inner surface, even in a paper design, wherein, for example, a layer of polyolefin, particularly polyethylene, is applied to a paper layer.
[0070] The invention further relates to a side-gusseted bag according to claim 14, comprising two front walls formed from the bag walls and two side gussets connecting the front walls to one another. According to the invention, the load-bearing assembly is then attached to one of the bag walls, wherein, according to a particularly preferred embodiment, this is the side gusset.
[0071] It can then be assumed that the side fold has two side fold sections separated by a drop edge, with the handle straps attached to different side fold sections. According to such a

[0073] Patent application dated January 13, 2026, Mondi AG (X 28 157 / Ri / Ve)
[0074] 11
[0075] In this design, the folding edge runs between the two handle strips, with the distance between the handle strips and the folding edge preferably being between 1 mm and 5 mm. This design is not necessarily limited to the side gusset sections being of equal width. It is also possible, in principle, for the folding edge to divide the two side gusset sections asymmetrically, in which case the carrying handle arrangement does not have to be positioned centrally on the side gusset. However, even in this case, it is preferred that the two handle strips have an identical distance to the folding edge.
[0076] The invention will now be explained in more detail using examples. These examples show:
[0077] Fig. 1 shows a carrying handle arrangement for a packaging bag,
[0078] Fig. 2 shows the carrying handle arrangement according to Fig. 1 on a bag wall of a packaging bag.

[0086] Grip band arrangement 4, which consists of two grip bands 4a, 4b lying flat on the backing sheet 3. According to the example shown, both the backing sheet 3 and the grip bands 4a, 4b are made of foil.
[0087] Both the carrier sheet 3 and the grip bands 4a, 4b have a rectangular shape, with the carrier sheet 3 extending beyond the grip band arrangement 4 along a longitudinal direction L.
[0088] The grip strips 4a, 4b have a central grip section 7a along the longitudinal direction L and, extending from this towards opposite ends, 5 fastening sections 7b, to which the grip strips 4a, 4b are attached to the backing sheet 3 by two first connecting seams 6 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction L. A total of four first connecting seams 6 are provided for each of the grip strips 4a, 4b, each of which is designed as a heat-seal seam. Alternatively, it is also conceivable to provide sealing seams made of an adhesive instead of heat-seal seams, in which case the adhesive would be either a hot melt adhesive or a polyurethane-based adhesive.
[0089] The handles 4a, 4b are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and spaced apart by a distance a2, where the distance a2 between the handles 4a, 4b is between 2 mm and 10 mm, in particular between 4 mm and 8 mm. The handles 4a, 4b themselves have a width bc between 15 mm and 25 mm and a longitudinal length IG between 170 mm and 200 mm. According to the example shown in Fig. 1, the handles 4a, 4b are identical and have an identical length IT and an identical width bc.

[0093] The length IT of the carrier sheet 3 in the longitudinal direction L is between 200 mm and 240 mm, such that the distance ai remaining along the longitudinal direction L between the ends 5 of the grip tape 4a, 4b and each adjacent edge of the carrier sheet 3 is typically between 15 mm and 25 mm. Preferably, the width bT of the carrier sheet perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is between 75 mm and 95 mm.
[0094] Fig. 2 shows the carrying handle assembly 1 in a state attached to the associated bag wall 2, the bag wall 2 itself not being shown in detail in Fig. 2. The carrier tag 3 is connected to the associated bag wall 2 by an O-shaped fastening seam 9, which is arranged around the handle strap assembly 4 and is designed as a heat-seal seam, so that the fastening seam 9 completely surrounds the handle strap assembly 4. The handle straps 4a, 4b are accessible from the outside through an opening 11 in the bag wall 2, so that the handle straps 4a, 4b can be gripped from behind by a user's hand. This opening 11 becomes particularly clear when compared with Figs. 4 and 5.
[0095] Furthermore, the handle straps 4a and 4b are each connected to the bag wall 2 in the central section 7a via a second connecting seam 8. This second connecting seam 8 is also a heat-sealed seam. The length Im of the central section 7a is between 140 mm and 160 mm. The ratio of the length lv of the second connecting seams 8 to the length IG of the handle straps 4a and 4b is between 0.4 and 0.7.
[0096] To illustrate the fastenings, Fig. 3 shows the carrying handle arrangement in a longitudinal section between the two handle straps 4a, 4b. It is evident that the carrying handle arrangement with the carrier strip 3 is attached to the associated bag wall 2 along the circumferential fastening seam 9.

[0099] 14
[0100] Furthermore, the carrier label 3 is also indirectly attached to the bag wall 2 via the handle straps 4a, 4b. For this purpose, the handle straps 4a, 4b are fixed to the carrier label 3 via the first connecting seams 6, which are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction L, and to the associated bag wall 2 via the second connecting seams 8. Both the fastening seam 9 and the connecting seams 6, 8 are designed as heat-sealed seams.
[0101] Figures 4 and 5 show an example of a side-gusseted packaging bag in which the previously described carrying handle assembly 1 is arranged and attached to a bag wall 2, the bag wall 2 forming a side gusset with a central fold 10. The carrying handle assembly 1 is arranged such that the fold 10 runs between the two handle straps 4a, 4b. This ensures that the packaging bag can lie as flat as possible when flat, since the handle straps 4a, 4b themselves are not folded in.
[0102] The carrier label 3 is connected to the inside of the bag wall 2 via the fastening seam 9, which is designed as a heat-sealed seam, resulting in the advantage that the packaging bag is tightly sealed.
[0103] To allow access to the handle assembly, an opening 11 is provided through which the handle assembly 4 can be grasped from behind. According to Fig. 4, openings 11 are provided on both sides of the handle assembly 4, allowing the hand to be inserted between the handle assembly 4 and the carrier sheet 3. According to Fig. 5, only one opening 11 is provided, so that the hand then reaches into the area between the carrier sheet 3 and the handle assembly 4.

[0107] The tapes according to Figs. 1 to 5 can, for example, have a three-layer structure of 125 pm PE / 25 pm oriented polyamide / 180 pm PE.
[0108] The carrier sheet 3 is preferably designed to be heat-sealable at least on the side adjacent to the bag wall 2. It is also sufficient if a heat-sealable material is used only on the side adjacent to the bag wall 2. A suitable, for example, is a two-layer structure with a heat-sealable layer of polyethylene and an opposing layer of polyethylene terephthalate or oriented polyamide. The thickness of the heat-sealable layer can be, for example, 180 µm, while the opposing layer, which is less heat-sealable, can have a thickness between, for example, 10 µm and 30 µm. A barium layer can also be provided. A suitable, for example, layer structure is 12 µm PET / 9 µm aluminum / 15 µm oriented polyamide / 120 µm polyethylene.
