Abstract:
A plastic trash bag having peelably attached thereto a full length tie strip formed of another plastic material. The strip extends along an entire face of the bag in parallelism with the machine direction and is peelable from the bag as a substantially non-adhesive bearing tie strip. The plastic tie strip is "string-like" in configuration, with a length to width ratio ranging between a minimum of 50 to 1 and a maximum of 1000 to 1 but preferably about 250 to 1 so that it can be easily tied despite its length. A layer of low tack, spot patterned adhesive adheres the strip to the bag. Width to thickness is advantageously about 50 to 1. The tie strip is not heat sealed or bonded to the trash bag.
