ABSTRACT:
A flexible bag for protecting luggage includes first and second opposing panel sections joined by a gusset at a first end. The first and second panel sections are secured together along first and second opposite edges with the gusset therebetween, to form a containment region between the first and second panel sections and bordered by the first and second edges and the gusset. A mouth is defined by the first and second panel sections at a second end opposite to the first end. The mouth is movable from an open position to a closed position, and provides access to the containment region when in the open position. A tamper-evident closure arrangement is at the mouth for securing the mouth in the closed position. The closure arrangement includes an adhesive region held by the second panel section, and a flap arrangement integral to the first panel section. The flap arrangement is constructed and arranged to fold over the mouth, engage the adhesive region, and completely secure the mouth in the closed position closing all access voids to the containment region. One useful application is for protecting luggage.
