Abstract: A side-gored bag is provided which includes: a first panel film, a second panel film; a pair of V-members forming side gussets; and a zipper device including a first zipper tape, and a second zipper tape. The upper edges of the V-members are situated so as to be downwardly displaced by a distance w from the upper edges of the first and second panel films. The first zipper tape has a first meshing rib and the first zipper tape is bonded in a horizontal position to the first panel film over an area of the panel film which extends by a distance W (wherein W>w) from the upper edge in such a manner that both the lower side of the zipper tape and the first meshing rib are situated below the upper edges of the V-members so as to cover an upper part of each V-member. The second zipper tape has a second meshing rib and the second zipper tape is bonded to the second panel film in such a manner that the second meshing rib is aligned with the first meshing rib.

Abstract: The invention provides an ornamental film comprising a laminate structure consisting of two biaxially oriented films and a thermally fusible polyolefin layer interposed between the films, characterized in that the biaxially oriented film has a decorative layer either on a face side or on a reverse side, that the thermally fusible polyolefin layer has a thickness corresponding to 25.about.70% of the total thickness of the laminate structure, and that the bond strength between the biaxially oriented film and thermally fusible polyolefin layer has been controlled at 20.about.170 g/15 mm. This ornamental film is advantageous in that when formed with slits or cutouts and expanded three-dimensionally, it is protected against tear propagation, that it lends itself well to vapor deposition, that it can be incinerated for disposal, and that it is comparatively inexpensive.
