Abstract
A shrink bag having an integral carrying handle is provided that includes an extended lip bag of a heat shrinkable thermoplastic material and having a carrying hole in the lip with a continuous fused bead around its periphery, the carrying hole being spaced sufficiently below the top of the lip such that upon heat shrinking the bag about a product sealed therein enhanced thickening along the carrying-load bearing portion of the hole periphery occurs relative to the non-load bearing portion of the hole periphery. An associated method for making the bag is also provided.
