Abstract

Abstract A bag formed of a plastic film used for storing an article as when relatively inexpensive articles are offered free of charge for sales promotion to customers. This bag also has secondary storing chambers, i.e., pockets for storing pamphlets of goods, a description of the article, a business card, etc. The bag is made with a central sheet member and a twofold cover sheet member of the same width as that of the central sheet member, the cover sheet member sandwiching the central sheet member, the three parts, i.e., the central sheet member and the front and back portions of the cover sheet member being fused together along opposite widthwise lateral edges. When the central sheet member is a bag body, and the interior thereof is used as a primary storing chamber and the spaces between the bag body and the cover sheet member are used as secondary storing chambers. When the central sheet member is a sheet, not a bag, the space between this sheet and one of the front and back portions of the cover sheet member is used as a primary storing chamber while the space between this sheet and the other of the front and back portions of the cover sheet member is used as a secondary storing chamber. The fold of the cover sheet member forms the bottom of the primary storing chambers. Since the bottom of the pockets is not formed by a fused portion between the pocket forming sheet and the bag body in this manner, there is no danger of the bottom being broken even when the contents of the pockets are heavy or include an object which is flat and has relatively sharp corners, such as a business card. Further, since such a cover sheet is of the same width as that of the bag body and the bag body and the cover sheet member are fused together along widthwise lateral edges, it is possible to simplify the manufacturing process.
