Abstract

See full text

A carton for a bag stack comprises a bottom wall, opposing front and back walls, and opposing first and second side walls bridging the opposing front and back walls. The first side wall forms a first pair of detents in proximity to the respective front and back walls. The second side wall forms a second pair of detents in proximity to the respective front and back walls. The front and back walls each include a profiled upper edge forming a window adapted to accommodate a human hand and allow retrieval of the plastic bags within the carton via the window. The bag stack includes first sets of plastic bags and second sets of plastic bags interleaved (alternately-arranged) with each other. Each set of plastic bags may include one or more plastic bags. The first and second sets of plastic bags are oriented in opposite longitudinal directions. The thickened portions of the first sets of bags are adjacent to and extend across the width of the front wall, while the thickened portions of the second sets of bags are adjacent to and extend across the width of the back wall. The distance between the first and second side walls is such that the first and second pairs of detents inhibit inward sliding of the interleaved sets of plastic bags, thereby maintaining the orderliness of the stack.
