She became famous and became known as the “mother of the grocery bag”. In 1883, Charles Stillwell invented the machine that could produce square-bottom paper bags with pleated sides that made them easy to fold and store. In 1912, Walter Dübner used a cord to reinforce a paper bag and add a carrying handle. Over the years, many inventors came and improved the production of paper bags.
• The theme for 2022 is “If You’re ‘fantastic’, Do Something ‘dramatic’ To Cut The ‘Plastic’, Use ‘Paper Bags’.
