most simple form the bag is made with a lip on one side where the die cut handles are built in consisting of a single layer of film extended beyond the pocket of an open end bag if needed reinforcements can be applied to the handle area to provide additional strength sealing vertically along the entire inside edge of each bag bonds two or more layers of film together which allows the handles to be built into multiple layers of thinner more cost effective film in the extended area beyond the vertical seals while still providing adequate strength to carry heavy objects in the bag greater strength is achieved for the built in handles by using multiple layers of film four or more instead of just two in the area extended beyond the seals as shown in fig4 in a preferred embodiment the bag is produced in line so that the extrusion and bag making process is done without interruption until the bag is completed including the die cut handles sealed extensions and the sealed bottom in a further embodiment the bag is produced not in line in a conversion process with the same die cut handles sealed extensions and sealed bottom after the extrusion is completed a wide variety.
