 The date is the day on which that particular bag rolled off the production line, the name is the person whose workstation produced the bag, and the code is the id of that particular workstation.

  Next time you’re in the states, buy a sandwich from a local deli or some groceries from a corner store and check out the packing bag manufacture they come in. If you turn it over and look at the bottom, the chances are you’ll see a code, a date and someone’s name printed along the edge, and this quirky little stamp tells you more about the paper bag - and its history - than you might think.

  In fact, their staff have hundreds of stories based around having their names printed on the bottom of the paper bags they make. For example, one wife of an employee always makes sure that the bags she brings her groceries home in have her husband’s name on the bottom.

  One of the major paper bag manufacturers still doing this is the Duro Bag Manufacturing Company who grew from a small Northern Kentucky business to one with paper bag manufacturing facilities across the US.

  It’s not something that OPP Plastic Bag does, but for those who do its purpose is to give employees of the paper bag company a sense of pride in their work. Some employees even go so far as to say that it’s just like autographing the items they’ve produced.

  Apparently he’s a bit of a hero to all those kids, and has even been tracked down for radio and TV interviews. And the fact that he’s carrying on a tradition that helps give paper bag manufacturers and printers a unique and interesting selling point means that he’s a bit of a star across the entire industry, too.
