Abstract

A storage bag includes first and second sidewalls of flexible, thermoplastic material that overlap and are joined to each other to provide an interior volume for receiving food items. The bag is adapted to be evacuated to help prevent spoliation of the food items. The bag includes a textured portion on an inner surface of at least one sidewall that is comprised of a plurality of pyramid shaped protrusions. To help retain liquids that may be included with the stored food items, the pyramid shaped protrusions are arranged in a substantially offset pattern. The protrusions may delineate on the inner surface substantially planar regions that are comprised of first larger areas and second smaller areas. During evacuation, liquids can pool together in and become retained by the larger areas while air can be directed through the second smaller areas.
