Unit Package for Insulation Products

Abstract

The invention pertains to a method of making a unit package. The unit package includes, a flexible sleeve having opposite ends, and multiple handles, wherein the handles are directly in a corresponding end of the flexible sleeve, the corresponding end projects outwardly beyond the bags of insulation products in the sleeve, and the corresponding end is flexible to bend and move the handles away from the side of the sleeve, such that the handles are accessible for grasping when the side of the sleeve is covered.

1 . A method of making a unit package for multiple bags of insulation products, comprising:
 forming a flexible film wrapper into a flexible sleeve having a side, and a corresponding end of the flexible sleeve projects outwardly beyond the bags of insulation products;   forming a pair of handles in the corresponding end of the sleeve, wherein the pair of handles are spaced apart a distance to deter a worker from using two hands to grasp both of said handles, and wherein the corresponding end is flexible to bend and move the handles away from the side of the flexible sleeve, such that the handles become accessible for grasping when the side of the sleeve is covered.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 forming another end of the flexible sleeve, wherein each end of the flexible sleeve comprises an open end.   
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 forming another end of the flexible sleeve and projecting said another end of the sleeve outwardly beyond the bags of insulation products to provide an overhang portion; and   gathering together the overhang portion to comprise a closed end of the wrapper.   
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 forming the flexible sleeve with a longitudinal seam along the side of the sleeve.   
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 forming flexible film wrapper into the flexible sleeve as a seamless unitary sleeve.   
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 forming each said handle as a handle opening through the flexible film wrapper;   forming the flexible film wrapper with a flap along an uncut edge of each handle opening; and   doubling back the flap along the uncut edge of the handle opening.   
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 forming the wrapper from sections of flexible film joined together along longitudinal side seams of the sleeve.   
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 forming the flexible film wrapper with strands of a polymeric material, wherein the strands are woven in the flexible film wrapper.   
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 forming the flexible film wrapper with strands of a polymeric material, wherein the strands are non-woven in the flexible film wrapper.
