Abstract

A bag for use in vacuum packaging can comprise a first panel (320) and a second panel (322) overlapping each other. One or more trays (230) for retaining a perishable or other product is formed on one or more of the panels. Each tray can optionally have ridges (234) for suspending a product above the tray so that liquid can collect in the tray. In one embodiment, a method for forming such a bag between a cooling roll (104) and laminating roll (102) includes feeding a gas-impermeable material (108) to a nip formed between the rolls. Resin is extruded to the nip such that the resin fills a plurality of cavities of the cooling roll, forming an inner layer that adheres to the gas-impermeable material. A resultant sheet is then folded to form the first and second panel and sealed such that an envelope is formed.
