Claims
- 1. A bag comprising:
- first and second opposing films joined at a fold line and being perforated along the fold line;
- a first base strip having inner and outer surfaces, the outer surface of the first base strip being attached to the first film of the polymeric bag;
- a pair of heat-resistant strips attached to the inner surface of the first base strip and being spaced from each other so as to form a gap therebetween; and
- a peelable strip including a first portion having opposing first and second surfaces and a stem portion extending substantially normal to the first surface of the first portion, the stem portion extending into the gap between the pair of heat-resistant strips and arranged with respect to the inner surface of the first base strip to provide a seal from the peelable strip to the base strip, the first surface of the first portion forming a plane opposing the pair of heat-resistant strips.
- 2. The bag of claim 1, wherein the first and second opposing films being perforated along the fold line include a first perforation line and a second perforation line.
- 3. A method of manufacturing a bag comprising:
- providing a continuous polymeric film;
- perforating the film along a line to divide the film into first and second films;
- providing a base strip having inner and outer surfaces;
- attaching the outer surface of the base to the first film of the polymeric bag;
- providing a pair of heat-resistant strips;
- attaching the pair of heat-resistant strips to the inner surface of the base strip and positioning the pair of heat-resistant strips to form a gap therebetween;
- providing a peelable strip including a first portion having opposing first and second surfaces and a stem portion; and
- arranging the peelable strip with respect to the inner surface of the base strip so that the stem portion extends into the gap between the pair of heat-resistant strips and so that the first surface of the first portion forms a plane opposing the pair of heat-resistant strips.
- 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of perforating includes perforating the film along a first perforation line and a second perforation line.
