Reply to comment by rebillihp in TIL Margaret Knight (1838-1914) invented a machine to mass produce flat-bottomed paper bags and, after winning a lawsuit against a fraudster who copied her design, the patent was issued in 1871. Her first invention was when she was 12 years old (and began working in a factory). She had 87 patents. by WonderWmn212

Yes, like the ones they put birthday cards into when you buy them at the store. I've night things that came in bigger ones every once in awhile - back when we used to go to stores

That's an envelope, not a bag. Not everything something can go into is a bag

They're describing the bag that the clerk puts your greeting card and its envelope into.
