Abstract
A method of making a gift bag which contains a pair of ribbon loops in the neck which, when pulled in opposite directions, form a cluster at the top of the bag about which the ribbons can be tied to form a fancy package. The method of in-line production of such gift bags includes laying a pair of ribbons near opposite edges of a sheet and folding the edges to form flaps over the ribbon; folding the sheet longitudinally at the middle, punching spaced-apart holes in the sheet-enfolded flaps at intervals corresponding to the width of the bag; guiding the ribbons into registry with the punched holes; sealing along a transverse zone passing through the middle of the punched hole and cutting along the transverse zone to separate the bags.
