First claim

1 - 30 . (canceled)

31 . A display bag comprising:
a housing formed from a flexible material and having a first end, a second end, and an inner volume extending between the first end and the second end; a hanging device disposed proximate to the first end; and a first panel disposed proximate to the second end and movable from a closed state closing a first opening formed in the housing and restricting access to the inner volume and an open state permitting access to the inner volume via the first opening.

32 . The display bag of claim 31 , wherein the first panel is formed from the flexible material.

33 . The display bag of claim 32 , further comprising perforations formed in the flexible material, wherein the perforations define a shape of the first panel and the first opening.

34 . The display bag of claim 31 , wherein the first panel is integrally formed with the flexible material.

35 . The display bag of claim 31 , further comprising a second panel disposed proximate to the first end and movable from a closed state closing a second opening formed in the housing and restricting access to the inner volume and an open state permitting access to the inner volume via the second opening.

36 . The display bag of claim 35 , wherein the second panel is formed from the flexible material.

37 . The display bag of claim 36 , further comprising perforations formed in the flexible material, wherein the perforations define a shape of the second panel and the second opening.

38 . The display bag of claim 37 , wherein the second panel is integrally formed with the flexible material.

39 . The display bag of claim 31 , wherein the hanging device includes an aperture formed through the flexible material.

40 . The display bag of claim 31 , further comprising a reinforcement member that at least partially surrounds the first opening.

41 . A display bag comprising:
a housing formed from a flexible material and having a first end closed by a first seal, a second end closed by a second seal, and an inner volume extending between the first end and the second end; a first panel disposed proximate to the second end and movable from a closed state closing a first opening formed in the housing and restricting access to the inner volume and an open state permitting access to the inner volume via the first opening; and a second panel disposed proximate to the first end and movable from a closed state closing a second opening formed in the housing and restricting access to the inner volume and an open state permitting access to the inner volume via the second opening.

42 . The display bag of claim 41 , wherein the first panel and the first opening are disposed on an opposite side of the housing than the second panel and the second opening.

43 . The display bag of claim 41 , wherein the first panel and the second panel are formed from the flexible material.

44 . The display bag of claim 43 , further comprising a first series of perforations formed in the flexible material and a second series of perforations formed in the flexible material, the first series of perforations defining a shape of the first panel and the first opening and the second series of perforations defining a shape of the second panel and the second opening.

45 . The display bag of claim 41 , further comprising a hanging device disposed proximate to the first end.

46 . The display bag of claim 45 , wherein the hanging device includes an aperture formed through the first seal.

47 . The display bag of claim 41 , wherein a portion of the flexible material extends between the first seal and the second opening.

48 . The display bag of claim 41 , wherein a portion of the flexible material extends between the second seal and the first opening.

49 . The display bag of claim 41 , further comprising a first reinforcement member that at least partially surrounds the first opening.

50 . The display bag of claim 41 , further comprising a second reinforcement member that at least partially surrounds the second opening.
