ELASTICIZED BAG

摘要

A bag or liner (1), wherein the bag (1) is maintained open by an attached elasti c band. Preferably, the elastic is placed on either side of at least one gusset fold(s) (2) in an untensioned state, so as to bridge the gusset (2). When the bag top is folded over a container rim (Fig. 2), the elastic (5) is stretched on the outside of the con tainer. This placement permits the bag (1) to be folded flat while providing a means to keep the bag open during use. The elastic (5) is useful as a closure after use.
