Abstract
Abstract The present disclosure relates to a cushioned shipping bag in which an enclosure for shipping objects subject to being damaged or otherwise undesirably affected by movement in the mails, parcel post, express shipments and the like may be placed in a container which will protect them through its construction from such injury. The bag is padded so that a filler is between two layers of flexible sheet material, particularly kraft paper forming a sleeve, one end of which is sealed and the other end of which is open for receipt of the article to be shipped. The bag along one side adjacent the edge thereof is provided with a tearsheet to permit ready opening thereof. This tear strip is desirably positioned adjacent the edge of the bag and adjacent the sleeve point or the junction point of the side of the tube.
