A bag (1) for storing perishable products such as fresh fruit and vegetables is disclosed. The bag is formed from a polymer film that has a film orientation direction and has an Elmendorf Tear Strength (ASTM D1922) in the range of 0.05 to 0.50N in the film orientation direction. The bag comprises a bottom (8), an open top (10), a side wall comprising two wall sections (12,14) connected together by heat seals (2) extending between the top and the bottom of the bag. The bag is formed so that the film orientation direction of the film in the side wall is transverse to the heat seals. The bag also comprises a skirt (5) extending outwardly from each heat seal and at least one tear initiation notch (3) in at least one skirt.
