Multi-layered thermoplastic bag with reinforced seals and methods of making the same

A multi-layered thermoplastic bag, comprising:

• a first thermoplastic bag comprising first and second opposing sidewalls joined together along a first side edge, an opposite second side edge, and a bottom edge, the first and second sidewalls being un-joined along at least a portion of their respective top edges to define an opening;
• and
• a second thermoplastic bag positioned within the first thermoplastic bag, the second thermoplastic bag comprising third and fourth opposing sidewalls joined together along a first side edge, an opposite second side edge, and a bottom edge, the third and fourth sidewalls being un-joined along at least a portion of their respective top edges to define an opening;
• at least one draw tape extending along the top edges of the first and second thermoplastic bags;
• and
• at least one tape seal bonding the draw tape to the first and second thermoplastic bags;
• wherein the at least one tape seal comprises at least seven discrete film plies bonded together, wherein each of the at least seven discrete film plies are formed separately from the other film plies of the at least seven discrete film plies and wherein each of the seven discrete film plies comprises a plurality of co-extruded sublayers.
