Abstract

A process for producing a tightly sealed bag that can be easily opened by tearing at an edge thereof. According to the process a multiplicity of through cuts are formed along a line in a laminate film having at least one substrate layer and at least one heat seal layer. The laminate film is formed into an open bag with the line of through cuts provided along an edge to be sealed of the bag and edges of the open bag are heat sealed to form a sealed bag. In an alternative embodiment of the process, a multiplicity of through cuts are formed along a line in a substrate film and a heat seal film is laminated to the substrate film provided with the through cuts to form a laminate film prior to forming the sealed bag.
