An attachable bag holder for use with a bag having at least one carrying loop. The holder includes an elongated body terminating in opposed ends and formed with a loop receiving channel on an upwardly facing side and a manually engageable gripping surface on a downwardly facing side of the holder body. A retention structure formed for easy insertion and yet difficult removal or trapping of the bag loops in the holder upon attachment of the same is provided. The holder body is preferably formed with the U-shaped cross section which permits nesting of holders in a stacked relation. The manually engageable gripping surface is downwardly convexed and formed with finger indentations to transfer loading forces to each of the fingers on the user\s hand, and provide a firm positive grip which combine to reduce fatigue. The gripping surface configuration also provides transverse, as well as longitudinal, rigidity to the holder. A holder dispenser and method are also disclosed.

In a holder for attachment to a bag having at least one carrying loop, said holder including an elongated body terminating in opposed ends, said body being formed with a substantially U-shaped transverse cross section having upwardly extending side walls terminating in edges defining a loop receiving channel on an open upwardly facing side of said body and a manually engageable gripping surface on a downwardly facing side of said body, the improvement in said holder comprising: retention means formed at each of said opposed ends, said retention means including a pair of opposed tabs cantilevered inwardly toward each other from said side walls at said ends and defining a loop receiving opening therebetween an entry passageway to said opening, said tabs having converging entry guide surfaces proximate and outwardly of said passageway for easy entry and passage of a portion of said loop from a position outwardly of said retention means to a position in said opening for support of said loop along said channel, and said tabs further being formed with hook-like ends extending back towards said opening and resisting removal of said loop from said position in said opening.
