Abstract:
1. A multi-layered thermoplastic bag with a shortened inner layer, comprising: a first continuous thermoplastic bag comprising first and second opposing sidewalls joined together along a first side edge, an opposite second side edge, and a bottom edge, wherein the first and second sidewalls are un-joined to each other along at least a portion of their respective top edges to define an opening; and a second continuous thermoplastic bag positioned within the first thermoplastic bag, the second thermoplastic bag comprising third and fourth opposing sidewalls joined together along a first side edge, an opposite second side edge, and a bottom edge, wherein the third and fourth sidewalls are un-joined to each other along at least a portion of their respective top edges to define an opening; wherein the top terminal edges of the first and third sidewalls are attached together and the top terminal edges of the second and fourth sidewalls are attached together; wherein the second thermoplastic bag is shorter than the first thermoplastic bag such that the bottom edge of the second thermoplastic bag is spaced a distance from the bottom edge of the first thermoplastic bag, the distance being between 5% and 35% of a length of the first and second sidewalls wherein the second thermoplastic bag comprises an elastic material that allows the second thermoplastic bag to expand toward the first thermoplastic bag when filled with objects or otherwise strained.
