ABSTRACT:
A drawtape bag comprises a pair of pliable thermoplastic body panels joined to each other along a pair of opposing sides and a bottom bridging the opposing sides. The bag may be opened along the mouth end formed opposite the bottom. At least one of the body panels forms a hem along the mouth end of the bag, and the hem houses a pliable thermoplastic drawtape. One or more drawtape holes located within the hem expose the drawtape allowing it to be pulled through the holes to close the bag and to be used as a handle. The elastic top feature is provided by an elastomeric strip connected to a looped section of the drawtape housed within the hem. Specifically, the drawtape section is gathered into one or more loops defining a series of crests and troughs, and each trough is sealed to the elastomeric strip.
