ABSTRACT: A method of manufacturing plastic bags with a plastic tape folded around one end of the bag and heat-sealed to the bag walls with heat-seal-inhibiting material precluding sealing together of the walls where the tape is sealed to the walls. A method of manufacturing plastic bags with a heatsealed pinch-type closure with heat-seal-inhibiting material precluding sealing together of the walls where the closure is sealed. A method of manufacturing plastic bags with an interrupted or vented heat-sealed longitudinal seam with heat-sealinhibiting material in a pattern for forming the interrupted or vented longitudinal seam. A method of manufacturing plastic bags with a valve sleeve sealed in a heat-sealed longitudinal seam with heat-seal-inhibiting material on the inside of the sleeve to preclude sealing together of the walls of the sleeve.
