Abstract: The present invention involves a microwave popcorn bag adapted to contain a plurality of popcorn kernels to be heated and popped within an interior region of the bag by the application of microwave energy. The microwave popcorn bag is formed from a sheet of material comprising: a first paper stock layer having a top edge and a bottom edge; a second paper stock layer disposed over said first paper stock layer; a carrying layer disposed between said first and second paper stock layer, said carrying layer continuously extending between said top and bottom edges; and a microwave susceptor region disposed on the carrying layer. A top seal portion and a bottom seal portion are disposed proximate the respective top and bottom edges.

Abstract: The present invention involves a microwave popcorn bag adapted to contain a plurality of popcorn kernels to be heated and popped by the application of microwave energy. The microwave popcorn bag is formed from a sheet of material comprising a front panel, a back panel, and first and second gussets connected to the front and back panels along gusset edges all of which form an interior popping space. The first and second gussets are folded along a centerline forming first and second gusset panels. The bottom seal is located on a lower edge and is capable of sealing the lower edge of the bag during the popping of the popcorn kernels. A miter is located proximate the bottom seal and includes an edge strip extending from about said bottom seal along one of the gusset edges for a length corresponding to about the length of a gusset panel. The miter includes a cross strip extending for a length corresponding to about the length of a gusset panel.
