Abstract:
A flat-bottomed bag is formed from a flexible sheet that initially is flat prior to being manipulated to form the bag. The sheet is a laminate of a first web and a second web laminated together by an adhesive layer disposed between the webs. The sheet defines a plurality of serially connected side wall panels collectively defining a vertically extending side wall of the bag, and a plurality of bottom panels respectively connected to the side wall panels at respective fold lines. The bottom panels are folded about the fold lines and are attached together to form a flat bottom wall configured to support the bag in an upright orientation. The adhesive layer is in a partial-coverage pattern that includes adhesive-free regions located along each fold line between each bottom panel and the respective side wall panel connected therewith.

Claim (Index 13):
A blank for forming a flat-bottomed bag, comprising:\n a flexible sheet, the sheet comprising a laminate of a first web and at least a second web, a face of the first web being affixed to an opposing face of the second web by an adhesive layer disposed between the first and second webs, the sheet defining:\n a plurality of serially connected side wall panels collectively defining a vertically extending side wall of the bag; and \n a plurality of bottom panels respectively connected to the side wall panels, each bottom panel being connected to a respective one of the side wall panels at a fold line; \n wherein the adhesive layer comprises at least one adhesive region and a plurality of adhesive-free fold line regions, wherein the adhesive-free fold line regions:\n extend along at least part of the length of each fold line, between each bottom panel and the respective side wall panel joined therewith, and \n extend at least partially above and below each fold line.
