Abstract: The present invention provides a distinctive bag for receiving and containing selected articles. The bag includes a front panel having two opposed side regions and a top edge region. A back panel having two opposed side edge regions and a tip edge region is connected in facing relation to the front panel along the side edge regions thereof. A top gusset is connected to the top edge regions of the front panel. A handle web also connects to the top edge regions of the front and back panels to provide a carrying loop. The carrying loop is constructed to bridge over the top gusset and between the front and back panels in a configuration arranged to provide for an arm-suspension of the bag with the loop. The carrying loop provides at least two loop faces with each of the loop faces having at least one hand-grip region. Formed in each hand-grip region, there is a hand-grip opening configured to provide for a hand suspension of the bag.

Abstract: The improved strippable seal mechanism inclues first and second polymeric webs each having an exterior and interior surface. The interior surface of at least one of the first and second polymeric webs polymeric webs has a substantially adhesive surface thereon for fixedly but separably adhering to the other polymeric web's interior surface. One of the first and second polymeric webs has at least one line of reduced strength disposed at the exterior surface thereof. A manually grippable tab is disposed adjacent to and operatively connected to the line of reduced strength at the exterior surface of one of the polymeric webs. The manually grippable tab operates in conjunction with the line of reduced strength to direct a peel force along the line of reduced strength to delaminate one of the first and seocnd polymeric webs.
