Claim 15:
16. A thermoplastic bag comprising post-formation deformations, the thermoplastic bag comprising:
a first sidewall and a second sidewall joined together along a first side edge, a second side edge, and a bottom edge;
an opening opposite the bottom edge;
a plurality of first deformation repeat units formed in the first sidewall and the second sidewall, each of the plurality of first deformation repeat units comprising a grouping of deformations forming a first shape comprising a first size;
a plurality of second deformation repeat units formed in the first sidewall and the second sidewall, each of the plurality of second deformation repeat units comprising a grouping of deformations forming a second shape comprising a second size, the second size being smaller than the first size; and
a plurality of third deformation repeat units formed in the first sidewall and the second sidewall, each of the plurality of third deformation repeat units comprising a grouping of deformations forming a third shape comprising a third size, the third size being smaller than the second size;
wherein the plurality of first deformation repeat units, the plurality of second deformation repeat units, and the plurality of third deformation repeat units are arranged in a gradient pattern such that the first size, the second size, and the third size progressively increase or progressively decrease from a bottom of the thermoplastic bag to a top of the thermoplastic bag.
