Abstract
The present invention relates to thermoplastic bag constructions capable of standing in an open and erect position without the extraneous support means normally employed with such bags. The bag is characterized by having a bottom gusset and heat sealed side seams which form the lateral bag edges. The individual walls of the bottom gusset are sealed to the adjacent bag walls utilizing a plurality of spaced apart vertical heat seals which are arranged in a predetermined pattern whereby when the bag is open the bag bottom assumes an elliptical configuration and is self-supporting as a result of the stiffening effect of the vertical heat seals.
