# It is permitted to open a garbage bag of which the folded edges are connected and perforated.<ref>Halacha Sheleimah Shabbat 2:20 explained that it is permitted to unfold a garbage bag with perforated folds because he investigated with companies who said that those folds were only created incidentally while they were packaged. He compared it to diapers which are connected on the top between the side edges and back panel. Either way, it is permitted since it wasn't connected intentionally or it is only a temporary connection.</ref> | # It is permitted to open a garbage bag of which the folded edges are connected and perforated.<ref>Halacha Sheleimah Shabbat 2:20 explained that it is permitted to unfold a garbage bag with perforated folds because he investigated with companies who said that those folds were only created incidentally while they were packaged.

#It’s forbidden to tear or steam a letter open on [[Shabbat]]. It’s permissible to tell a non-Jew that it’s forbidden to open letters on [[Shabbat]] so that the non-Jew will understand to open it as this is not a command but only a hint. <ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 30:2</ref> Similarly, it’s permissible to benefit from the letter since the action of the non-Jew was applied to the envelope and not to the letter directly.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 30:57</ref> | |||
#It’s permissible to open an envelope or a booklet that was stapled shut just for transmission by post by removing the staples. However, it’s forbidden to remove the staples from two papers that were stapled together permanently. <ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 28:5</ref> Similarly, it’s forbidden to staple an envelope closed.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 28:5</ref> | |||
