Abstract
A bag having a front panel and a rear panel having respective side and bottom portions sealed together leaving an opening in the bag for access to the interior thereof. The rear panel extends beyond the opening to form a flap that can be folded over the opening. A first area of adhesive means is carried by the rear panel, i.e., the flap, and is adapted to secure the panels together to close the opening of the bag by bonding to a second area of adhesive means carried by the front panel. Each adhesive means comprises a backing bearing a layer of adhesive on one major surface thereof, and each is bonded to its respective panel by means of the second major surface of said backing, which second major surface is bonded to the material of its respective panel by means of heating, fusing, or the like.
