Patent ID: 8680447

Claim:
A microwave popcorn bag, comprising: an expandable section defined by a first side crease and a second side crease; a susceptor positioned within the expandable section at a location between the first side crease and the second side crease, wherein: the susceptor has a first edge extending between edge end portions and having a length substantially parallel to the first side crease, and the susceptor has a second edge extending between edge end portions and having a length substantially parallel to the second side crease; a first side crease seal on the inner surface of the bag that is exposed to the interior of the bag, the first side crease seal having a length and a width, wherein: the length of the first side crease seal is substantially parallel to the first edge of the susceptor, the length of the first side crease seal is substantially parallel to the first side crease, the length of the first side crease seal is continuous and extends substantially the length of the first edge of the susceptor, wherein the length of the first side crease seal terminates to form a discontinuity between the first side crease seal and a first end seal field that extends generally perpendicular to the first and second side creases, and the width of the first side crease seal overlaps the first side crease and the first edge of the susceptor; and a second side crease seal on the inner surface of the bag that is exposed to the interior of the bag, the second side crease seal having a length and a width, wherein: the length of the second side crease seal is substantially parallel to the second edge of the susceptor, the length of the second side crease seal is substantially parallel to the second side crease, the length of the second side crease seal is continuous and extends substantially the length of the second edge of the susceptor, wherein the length of the second side crease seal terminates to form a discontinuity between the second side crease seal and the first end seal field, and the width of the second side crease seal overlaps the second side crease and the second edge of the susceptor.
