A multiwall paper bag for bulk material, especially particulate or powdered material, has an inner ply of a high performance kraft paper, an intermediate layer or ply of a thin polyethylene secured to the outer surface of the inner ply, and an outer ply of high performance kraft paper that is secured to the intermediate ply. At least one end of the bag is closed during initial formation of the bag. The other end can be left open for filling and subsequent closing, or it can be initially closed and provided with a filling valve. At least the intermediate ply, and preferably the inner ply as well, is microperforated for venting of air during filling. The intermediate ply is secured to the inner ply either by a plurality of longitudinally extending transversely space apart lines of adhesive or the securing adhesive is spread completely over the mating surfaces of the two plies.
A multiwall bag used for shipping bulk material comprising an inner ply of kraft paper, an intermediate ply of thin microperforated polyethylene adhesively secured to said inner ply along a plurality of transversely spaced apart adhesive securement lines which extend longitudinally of the inner ply, leaving longitudinally extending non-adhered sections between adjacent adhesive lines, and an outer ply of kraft paper adhered to said intermediate ply along lines of adhesive extending transversely of the bag adjacent each end thereof, at least one of the ends of said bag being formed to close said at least one end.
