Abstract: A block bottom bulk material bag, or satchel bottom bag, is formed from multiple plies of paper and an inner ply of plastic that is adhered to the innermost ply of paper. The bag is formed from roll-stock material that is cut into blanks. The knives that cut the blanks are registered relative to one another so that when the pinch bottom or satchel bottom is formed there is no paper surface exposed to the interior of the bag and the entire interior surface of the bag to which bulk material contained in the bag is exposed is covered with plastic.
