| Abstract: |
A tube of thermoplastic netting is drawn through a work station in a radially collapsed, condensed condition. At the work station, the netting is angularly twisted to rope-like form, to increase its bulk density and, in such condition, is drawn between the die and platen of an ultrasonic welding horn. Periodically, the die and platen momentarily bear against a succeeding short length of the twisted, condensed rope-like form making a fused seal nugget integrating all strands of the netting at that site. The resulting product may be a long length of such tubing, having such a seal every so often, or a plurality of bags formed from the intermediate product by making one transverse cut through the netting tube beside each seal nugget.

What is claimed is:
1. A packaged product, comprising:
- (a) a plurality of individual one sealed end/one open end bags of tubular thermoplastic melting material arranged parallel to one another in a group, said bags being formed by repetitively angularly twisting a continuous rope-like feedstock of tubular thermoplastic net bagging material sufficiently to substantially radially condense said feedstock, melting an axially short segment of said radially condensed feedstock to form a converted feedstock containing every so often a single melted and molded massive integral seal nugget incorporating substantially all strands of said feedstock within said segment, and severing said converted feedstock beside each succeeding seal nugget to produce said individual bags in each of which said sealed end is constituted by a said seal nugget;
- (b) a tubular plastic film sack sleeving said group and being permanently closed at both ends thereof for containing said group;
- (c) means providing a ring of intermittent perforations through said sack intermediate the ends thereof, providing a grab-out closure, which may be grabbed and torn out to provide a corresponding grab hole permitting withdrawal of individual ones of said bags from said sack.
