Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a multilayer bag with one or more embossed layers of polymeric film and a method to form the same. The embossed layers may provide improved shock resistance, tear resistance, and allow the bag to easily stretch and expand. Each layer of the polymeric bag may be embossed separately and then combined into a multilayer web. For certain embodiments, only one layer of the multilayer bag may be embossed. The individual layers may be formed from opposing sides of a collapsed tube of polymeric film or be formed from two distinct collapsed tubes of polymeric film. The polymeric bag may be a drawstring trash bag with the embossed pattern only extending a partial height of the bag.

Claim (Index 8):
A multilayer bag comprising:\n a front panel and a rear panel, the front panel and rear panel joined adjacent to a first side edge by a first side seal and adjacent to an opposite second side edge by a second side seal, the front and rear panels each comprising first and second layers of polymeric film, the first and second layers formed from separate first and second single layer webs, each of the single layer webs formed from one or more collapsed tubes of polymeric film, each of the single layer webs having a centerline extending in a machine direction, the first layer of the front and rear panels having an embossed pattern, the embossed pattern comprising a plurality of embossed regions, each embossed region separated by a continuous unembossed arrangement and comprising a plurality of embosses of varying length, the second layer of the front and rear panels not having an embossed pattern, the front panel and rear panels joined at a bottom edge, the bottom edge corresponding generally to the centerline of the first and second webs, and an opening of the bag defined by an upper edge of the front and rear panels.
