Abstract

A storage bag opening device is provided to facilitate improved opening of a re-sealable storage bag. The device comprises a bag container, an edge trim, a set of ring tabs attached thereto, and a sealing means disposed on opposing inner surfaces of said edge trim. The bag container may be any resilient and reusable bag. Its upper edges are attached to or housed within the edge trim that is secured thereto. Ring tabs secured to the center of said edge trim are adapted to receive at least one of a user's fingers. To open the bag, a user pulls the ring tabs outward in opposing directions to cause separation therebetween, thereby causing the re-sealing means to disengage and open the bag. The re-sealing means may then be firmly pressed together to close the container and create an air and moisture tight seal.
