There is described a bag for being manipulated by a lifting element, includi ng a tube portion defined by at least two opposed side walls and two opposed end sections. The first end section closes the tube portion for defining a cavit y and the second end section includes at least one flap extending from one of the side walls to be connected to the other side wall. There is a slot defined beneat h and parallel to the flap in between the opposed side walls for receiving the lifting element, the flap and the slot thereby defining a handle. There is also one or more reinforcement members, such as a strip of HDPE or the like, each applie d to and extending between the flap and the corresponding side wall. The reinforcement strip resists tearing of the handle when the bag is lifted.
