Claim:
A patch bag comprising a heat-shrinkable patch adhered to a heat-shrinkable bag, the heat-shrinkable patch comprising a first heat-shrinkable film and the heat-shrinkable bag comprising a second heat-shrinkable film, the first heat-shrinkable film comprising a blend of: A) ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer having a density greater than about 0.915 g/cm 3 in an amount of at least about 5 percent, based on a total weight of the blend; and B) heterogeneous ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer having a density of less than about 0.915 g/cm 3 , present in an amount of at least about 21 percent, based on the total weight of the blend; and wherein the ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer having a density greater than about 0.915 g/cm 3 and heterogeneous ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer having a density of less than about 0.915 g/cm 3 together make up at least 70 percent of the total weight of the first film, and wherein the patch is adhered to the bag with an adhesive or corona treatment.
