Claims18
A multicompartment bag of polymeric material comprising:
- a first compartment including a first panel of the polymeric material and a second panel of the polymeric material in opposed relation to the first panel, the first and second panels including opposite side edge margins, top edge margins and bottom edge margins, the side edge margins and bottom edge margins being joined together to form a first compartment volume for receiving and holding items in the first compartment, and a first closure located generally at the top edge margins of the first and second panels for selectively connecting and disconnecting the first and second panels at the top edge margins thereby to form a first opening for passing items into and out of the first compartment;
- a second compartment including a third panel of the polymeric material, the third panel being in opposed relation to the second panel of the first compartment, the third panel including opposite side edge margins, a top edge margin and a bottom edge margin, the opposite side edge margins of the third panel being joined together with the opposite side edge margins of the second panel, and the top edge margin of the third panel being joined to the top edge margin of the second panel to form a second compartment volume for receiving and holding items in the second compartment, and a second closure located generally at the bottom edge margins of the second and third panels for selectively connecting and disconnecting the second and third panels at the bottom edge margins thereby to form a second opening for passing items into and out of the second compartment;
- a third compartment including a fourth panel of the polymeric material, the fourth panel being in opposed relation to the third panel of the second compartment, the fourth panel including opposite side edge margins, a top edge margin and a bottom edge margin, the opposite side edge margins of the fourth panel being joined together with the opposite side edge margins of the third panel and the bottom edge margin of the fourth panel being joined to the bottom edge margin of the third panel to form a third compartment volume for receiving and holding items in the third compartment, and a third closure located generally at the top edge margins of the third and fourth panels for selectively connecting and disconnecting the third and fourth panels at the top edge margins to form a third opening for passing items into and out of the third compartment;
- a first gusset joining the first panel and the second panel at the bottom edge margins thereof;
- a second gusset joining the second panel and the third panel at the top edge margins thereof;
- and
- a third gusset joining the third panel and the fourth panel at the bottom edge margins thereof.

- wherein the side edge margins of the first and second panels are joined together by a first seal having a first width and by a second seal having a second width greater than the first width, and wherein the second seal extends in the top margins of the first and second panels.
