Abstract: An ovenable bag includes a sheet of paper-like material; opposite edges of the sheet secured to each other to define a tubular member having opposite ends; the tubular member being folded inwardly along lengthwise fold lines thereof which are diagonally offset from each other and being flattened with respect to the lengthwise fold lines to form two pair of lengthwise crease lines that are parallel to the lengthwise fold lines, such that the flattened tubular member is defined by a wide wall section, a narrow wall section and an expandable wall section connecting the wide and narrow wall sections together; the narrow wall section extending past the wide wall section in the lengthwise direction of the flattened tubular member at a first end thereof; the flattened tubular member being folded over itself at the first end thereof along a transverse fold line; the wide wall section being adhered to itself at the folded first end of the flattened tubular member; and the narrow wall section being adhered to the expan

Abstract: A fabric includes an intermediate layer of substantially parallel spun warp yarns, the intermediate layer having a first surface and an opposite, second surface; a top backing layer formed of spun bonded non-woven fibers on the first surface of the intermediate layer; a bottom backing layer of spun bonded non-woven fibers on the opposite, second surface of the intermediate layer; a chain stitching extending substantially parallel to and between adjacent spun warp yarns to connect the top layer to the bottom layer and thereby secure the warp yarns therebetween; and the stitched fabric being hydraulically entangled to adhere the loose warp yarns to the spun bonded non-woven yarns of the top and bottom backing layers.

Abstract: A fabric includes a first substrate layer; second substrate layer; the first and second substrate layers being at least translucent, being made from a non-woven fabric, and having a weight in the range between 0.25 ounces/yd..sup.2 and 8.0 ounces/yd..sup.
