Abstract

A method of opening a bag (2) uses a bag opening apparatus (1; 20), the bag (2) having a bag wall and a top end (5) in which an access opening to the bag (2) is provided, the method being performed when the bag is collapsed such that the bag wall has two opposite sides held together, the bag opening apparatus (1; 20) including a body (6; 27; 47) which provides a bag receiving surface (9; 29; 59), the method including placing one of the two sides of the bag wall on the bag receiving surface (9; 29; 59) so that the one side is lowermost on the body (6; 27; 47), applying pressure manually to the opposite uppermost of the two sides of the bag wall, and sliding the uppermost side relative to the lowermost side and the body (6; 27; 47), relatively to move the two sides of the bag wall and thus facilitate opening of the access opening at the top end (5) of the bag (2).
