A shrink bag having an integral carrying handle is provided that includes an extended skin portion of the bag of a heat shrinkable thermoplastic material and having a carrying hole in the skirt portion with an essentially continuous heat seal around its margin, the carrying hole having a configuration which helps to distribute stress and substantially eliminates tear propagation. The bag is particularly adapted for packaging whole turkeys and the like and, to this end, the integral carrying handle is preferably located at the breast containing end of the bag.

A thermoplastic bag comprising: a) congruent front and rear panels of a thermoplastic material superimposed one against the other and defining a front and rear of a bag pocket, the panels having longitudinal side edges joined to form bag pocket side edges, and the panels having common ends in communication with the longitudinal side edges, and including: (i) a first end adjacent to but longitudinally spaced from a closed bottom of the bag pocket, and (ii) an opposite end; b) a continuous transverse heat seal connecting the front and rear panels adjacent to but spaced from the first end, the heat seal defining the closed bottom of the bag pocket; c) a skirt defined by the front and rear panels between the first end and the transverse heat seal; d) the skirt having a generally D shaped handle cut out having a linear portion , the linear portion of the D disposed substantially parallel to the transverse heat seal, and wherein the handle cut out has (i) an end arc formed by the major curve of the D, the end arc curved toward the first end, (ii) a first side arc formed by the juxtaposition of one end of the major curve of the D with one end of the linear portion of the D, and (iii) a second side arc formed by the juxtaposition of the other end of the major curve of the D with the other end of the linear portion of the D; the shape further defined by (i) the end arc having a radius (A) of from about (1.75×R) to about (2.25×R), (ii) the first side arc having a radius of about (R), and (iii) the second side arc having a radius of about (R), wherein R is at least about 1 inch; and wherein the distance between the end arc and the first end is at least 0.5 inches.
