Snap-fastener bag

A snap-fastener bag comprising:

• a bag body formed from two flexible films that are selectively sealed together around the outer perimeter thereof to form a selectively expandable storage space, said storage space having cloth goods stored therein;
• a fastener assembly attached to said flexible films along opposed ends thereof for opening and closing said bag body;
• a deaerating passage formed in said bag body by opposed portions of said flexible films, said deaerating passage extending from said storage space to an outside opening;
• and
• a resealant applied to opposed surfaces of said flexible films that define said deaerating passage, said resealant being located adjacent to the outside opening of said deaerating passage, said resealant forming a seal that normally closes said deaerating passage and that opens said deaerating passage in response to a pressure increase within said storage space in response to a compression of said storage space in said bag body and said cloth goods in said storage space.

A snap-fastener bag comprising:

• a bag body formed from two side-by-side sections of flexible film, said film sections having a top edge, a bottom edge opposite said top edge, and opposed side edges, said film sections being adhered together along said bottom edges and said side edges thereof to define a storage space between said film sections, said storage space having cloth goods stored therein;
• a fastener attached to said top edges of said film sections to selectively open and close said bag body to allow access to said storage space;
• a deaerating passage formed in said bag body by selective adhesion of said film sections to each other, said deaerating passage extending from said storage space to a bottom or side edge of said bag body to an outside opening so as to open to the outside;
• and
• a resealant applied to opposed surfaces of said film sections that define said deaerating passage, said resealant being located adjacent the outside opening of said deaerating passage, said resealant forming a seal that normally closes said deaerated passage and that opens in response to a pressure increase due to a compression of said storage space in said bag body and cloth goods in said storage space.
