neutral  Walter Herzberg: why bot keep it simple, e.g. "when a bag, which is to be filled, is opened with compressed aid"

neutral  Brigitte Hamilton: agree with Walter - in packaging terms, it's JUST a bag. I worked many years in the packaging industry and while the term product bag can be used, it is not necessary for comprehension. More likely to be used in general marketing literature.

  -> I beg to differ. One of my clients (a multinational) specialising in the packaging industry uses exactly this term. A bag into which product (dry or liquid) is filled, hence product bag.

product package


Explanation:
Very few indications of the word "abfallbeutel" being used widely. It is essentially packaging were the products are packed in air tight.

  -> Yes you are right. The packages/bags are opened up with pressurised air not necessarily sealed air tight. Thanks.
