Paper bag with integrated handle

Abstract

On the top part of the pleated-style bag ( 1 ) or “American”-style bag ( 2 ), without pleat, and near its open edge, it has some die cut drill holes with a rectangular ( 3 ) or circular ( 5 ) shape, located at a sufficient distance from the top edge to allow performing some folds ( 4 ) to close the bag ( 1 ) or ( 2 ), being said die cut drill holes ( 3 ) or ( 5 ) located just below said folds ( 4 ), defining the height, from the folds ( 4 ) to the base ( 8 ) of the bag, for its usable capacity. In the “American”-style bag ( 2 ) there is a second area ( 7 ) of die cut drill holes, which allows performing more folds ( 4 ) when closing the bag ( 2 ). It optionally has two reinforcements made of paper, fabric or cotton mesh, attached to the inner sides and in the area of the die cut drill holes, which can have a rectangular shape ( 3 ) with its flap ( 3 a ), and a circular ( 5 ), triangular ( 9 ), ovoid ( 10 ), semi-circular ( 11 ) slanted ( 12 ) or multi-slanted ( 13 ) shape.

1 . Paper bag with integrated handle, preferably manufactured in eventually recycled paper and which adopts the well known “pleated”-style ( 1 ) shape or “American”-style ( 2 ), without pleat shape, characterized in that it has, on the top part of the bag, near its open edge, die cut drill holes with a rectangular ( 3 ) or circular ( 5 ) shape, located at a sufficient distance from the top edge to allow performing some folds ( 4 ) to close the bag ( 2 ), in a way that said die cut drill holes ( 3 ) or ( 5 ) are just below said folds ( 4 ) allowing for the user's fingers to go through in order to grab the bag, defining the height, from the folds ( 4 ) to the base ( 8 ) of the bag, for its usable capacity. 
     
     
         2 . Paper bag with integrated handle, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it optionally has, below the first area ( 6 ) of die cut drill holes ( 3 ) or ( 5 ), a second area ( 7 ) of die cut drill holes, which allows performing more folds ( 4 ) when closing the bag ( 1 ) or ( 2 ), defining a lower height to the base ( 8 ) of the bag and therefore, a lower capacity of the same. 
     
     
         3 . Paper bag with integrated handle, according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it optionally has two reinforcements made of paper, fabric or cotton mesh, as appropriate, attached to the inner sides and in the area of the die cut drill holes, located horizontally ( 14 ) or vertically ( 15 ) to reinforce the die cut drill holes area, which can have a rectangular shape ( 3 ) with its flap ( 3   a ), and a circular ( 5 ), triangular ( 9 ), ovoid ( 10 ), semi-circular ( 11 ) slanted ( 12 ) or multi-slanted ( 13 ) shape.
