主权项

1. A bag having a body formed from a portion of flattened material, an open top, and a bottom sealed by a transverse seam in the material, the improvement comprising:
a first handle located adjacent to the open top, formed from the same portion of material, and at least partially defined by a curved perimeter of the open top; a handle flap located below the transverse seam and formed from the same portion of material; and a second handle comprising a hole formed in the handle flap; wherein the first handle is at least partially defined by a hole cut from a side of the flattened material between the open top and the sealed bottom, the hole of the first handle lying substantially along a transverse axis; wherein the handle flap has a lower perimeter of a same configuration as the curved perimeter of the open top to enable tessellated manufacture of a roll of multiple such bags from the flattened material; and wherein the first handle hole and the second handle hole have substantially similar longitudinal height, configured so that when assembled into the bag roll, the hole of the second handle lies substantially along the transverse axis of a first handle of a next bag in the roll.
