SIDE GUSSET BAG WITH CONVENIENT CARRY HANDLE

摘要

A bag includes front and back panels having joined first and second opposing side edges, and opposing top and bottom end edges. An end edge seat line adjacent one of the top and bottom end edges extends laterally from one side of the bag to the other for sealably closing the adjacent end edge of the bag. The opposite end edge of the bag is open for receiving contents therein and is subsequently closed to retain the contents within the bag. The improvement in the bag includes a folded in-tuck formed along o ne of the first and second side edges of the bag. The in-tuck cooperates with the front and back panels to define a side gusset adapted for allowing expansion of the bag when filled. The in-tuck is sealed along the e nd edge seal line to form a multi-ply reinforced end portion of the bag. A handle is formed with the reinforced en d portion of the bag to allow convenient handling of the bag when filled.
