A storage bag with soaker pad, and a material and method for making same. The bag of the invention includes a bag having a front and rear panel of a plastic film, the front and rear panels being closed at one end to form a bottom of the bag, the bag being open at the opposite end for receipt of goods to be stored in the bag, a fluid absorbing pad located inside the bag, and an enclosure connected to the inside of the bag for containing the fluid absorbing pad. The material of the invention comprises a bag film connected to a perforated enclosure material with a plurality of soaker pads sandwiched between the two layers. The width of the perforated enclosure material is substantially less than the width of the bag film whereby the soaker pads are continued to a limited space near the center of the material that creates the bottom fold of the resulting bags formed from the material. The method of making the bag of the invention includes a continuous supply of bag film be fed forwardly towards a bag machine. In unison with the movement of the bag film a layer of perforated enclosure material containing a plurality of soaker pads is connected at its edges to the bag film thereby sandwiching the storage pads between the two layers. The bag panels, enclosure, and soaker pad could be treated with antimicrobial agents for suppressing microorganisms that may be found in the liquids emanating from the goods stored inside the bag.
