Abstract
Abstract An improved method of adhering the bottom of polyalkylene terephthalate film bags, such as those used to shrink package frozen turkeys, is disclosed. The bags are adhered on at least one side with two distinct adhesive bands. The inner band is a thermoplastic adhesive which allows a measure of ''''peelability and shock absorbability'''', whereas the outer adhesive band is a high strength thermo-setting adhesive. The contained product may even be cooked within the bag.
