Abstract

Abstract A bag is formed having a double fold of transparent material so that there are two separate compartments. A firm support member upon which indicia may be printed is inserted between two of the layers and the material may be inserted between the double layers and a single layer or this procedure may be reversed as desired. The bag that is formed is a two compartment bag. The bag is especially designed for use with heavy hardware items such as large bolts that have great mass and the like. The stiff support member upon which the advertising media is imprinted is located between two layers of the bag material and has a supporting shelf at the bottom thereof beneath the bag proper where the heavy items are located. The stiffener support member acts as a shelf to help support the weight of the bolts and the like which are within the bag.
