Abstract
The present invention is directed to a thermoplastic bag comprised of a front panel and a back panel. The front panel and back panel are generally joined along a first side edge, a second side edge, and a bottom edge of the respective front panel and back panel. The front panel has a distal edge with the distal edge folded over the front panel to provide a hem and an overlap area immediately below the first hem. The overlap encapsulates a scent carrier that provides a scent to the thermoplastic bag.

1-20. (canceled)
A thermoplastic bag comprising:
- a front panel and a back panel of thermoplastic film, the front panel and back panel joined at a bottom edge,
- the front panel and back panel joined generally at a first side and by an opposing second side,
- a front folded over upper portion of the front panel defining a first upper edge, the first upper edge defining an upper opening of the thermoplastic bag,
- the front folded over upper portion affixed to the front panel by a first hem seal, the first hem seal extending generally between the first and second sides,
- a first drawstring between the front folded over upper portion and the front panel, the first drawstring below the first upper edge and above the first hem seal, the first drawstring extending generally between the first and second sides, and
- a first scent carrier applied to the front panel, the first scent carrier extending generally between the first and second sides,
- wherein the first scent carrier is applied as a molten polymer to the thermoplastic film of the front panel.
