A bag comprising a web of multilayer material folded and sealed to create a front panel, a back panel, and two gussets,

• wherein the front panel comprises an inner layer and an outer layer, and the back panel comprises an inner layer and an outer layer, each respective layer possessing an upper terminating edge at an upper end of the bag,
• the bag further comprising a step cut on the upper end of the bag,
• the bag further comprising a fold, where the fold enables the upper end of the bag to be sealed to itself, the fold running the width of the bag perpendicular to two side edges of the bag, whereby the upper terminating edge of the outer layer of the back panel covers the upper terminating edges of the inner layer of the back panel, the inner layer of the front panel, and the outer layer of the front panel,
• the bag further comprising adhesive, the adhesive residing in a generally rectangular area on the outer layer of the front panel in an area bound by the fold, the two opposing side edges of the front panel, and the upper terminating edge of the outer layer of the back panel,
• the bag further comprising a pull string, where the pull string runs laterally from one side edge of the bag to the other side edge, extending beyond at least one side edge of the bag, the pull string residing flush against the outer layer of the front panel, below the upper terminating edge of the inner layer of the back panel and above the upper terminating edges of the inner layer of the front panel, the outer layer of the front panel, and the outer layer of the back panel.
