Abstract
Disclosed is an oriented, heat shrinkable, thermoplastic vacuum bag having a protective heat shrinkable reverse printed patch attached thereto, thereby protecting the bag from puncture by sharp protruding bones in bone-in cuts of meat which are vacuum packaged within the bags while simultaneously providing desired graphics protected from abrasion. The protection is especially directed to prevention destruction of the desired graphics when used on bags for packaging bone-in cuts of both fresh and smoked or processed meat. The reverse trap printed bag produced by this method is also disclosed.
