Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a fastener having a pair of elements capable of being engaged to each other and relates to a wrapping bag having the fastener. The fastener is arranged in such a manner that at least its portion to be welded to the bag body is mainly made of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer resin containing vinyl acetate by 1 to 9% and having melt index of 0.5 to 6.0 g/10 minutes. The wrapping bag having the fastener can be obtained by welding the fastener to a base body, and by sealing the ends of the base film with heat.
