Abstract: A carrier bag for transporting granular foods and the like. The bag includes two main panels connected by two side panels. One of the side panels includes a bellows having a fold line and a folding zone that is defined by the immediate area surrounding the fold line. The bag also includes a top edge which defines an opening to the bag. The opening is closed by adhering together the two main panels close to and along the entire length of the top edge. Finally, a pull-tab is provided that is integrally formed with the bellows and projects out from the top edge.
