Abstract
A bag of flexible material for packaging compressible products includes a side of the bag perpendicular to the direction in which the products are compressed having a pouch of material that extends into the bag, The pouch allows expansion of the bag upon opening and a subsequent decompression of the products to facilitate removal from the bag. A tear-away opening portion of an adjacent top side of the bag releases edges of the pouch which allows the bag to expand, The bag may be used for packaging sanitary absorbent articles such as diapers.
