A method for manufacturing a bag for use in vacuum packaging comprises forming a first panel having a plurality of baffles for evacuating air and/or other gases from inside the bag using a suction source, while preventing liquids from being drawn into the suction source, and a second panel. Each panel comprises a gas-impermeable base layer and a heat-sealable inner layer molded from melt-extruded resin. The first panel is overlapped with the second panel, and three of four edges of the panels are heated such that the inner layers bond at the heated edges. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a bag adapted to receive an article, comprising: rotating a first roller having a plurality of recesses; rotating a second roller adjacent to the first roller, said second roller can feed a first film adjacent to the first roller; applying a molten material between the first roller and the film; said molten material filling the recesses of the first roller, and said molten material and film moving between the first roller and the second roller forming a first panel with a plurality of protuberances defining a plurality of baffles and a plurality of channels, each of the plurality of baffles forming a vessel configured for trapping liquid therein and the plurality of channels defining a plurality of non-linear channel paths between the baffles, the non-linear channel paths having an approach angle to the baffles to deflect liquid into the vessels forming a second panel; and mating the first panel to the second panel in order to form a bag. 2. The method of claim 1 including: using a gas impermeable material for the film; and using a heat sealable material for the molten material. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said first roller includes a peripheral surface having a first portion including the plurality of recesses for defining a plurality of protuberances and a second portion without a plurality of recesses. 4. The method of claim 1 including forming the protuberances in part with walls that run parallel to the length of the film and in part with walls that run across the length of the firm. 5. The method of claim 1 including forming the protuberances from the plurality of recesses with some of the plurality of recesses running parallel to the length of the film and some of the plurality of recesses running across the length of the firm. 6. The method of claim 1 including forming the protuberances from the plurality of recesses with some of the plurality of recesses running in about the direction of rotation of a peripheral surface of the first roller and some of the recesses running in about a direction across the direction of rotation of the peripheral surface. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein forming the plurality of protuberances define U shaped baffles. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein gas flows through the non-linear channel paths between the baffles. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein forming the plurality of baffles forms V shaped vessels. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein forming the plurality of baffles forms L shaped vessels. 11. A method for manufacturing a bag adapted to receive an article, comprising: feeding a first gas-impermeable film to a first nip between a first cooling roll and a first laminating roll, the first cooling roll having a plurality of cavities for forming a structure; extruding molten resin to the first nip; pressing the molten resin between the first cooling roll and the first gas-impermeable film such that the molten resin fills the plurality of cavities exposed to the first nip; cooling the resin such that the resin forms the structure and adheres to the gas impermeable film, forming a first panel; wherein the structure comprises a plurality of protuberances defining a plurality of baffles and a plurality of channels, each of the plurality of baffles forming a vessel configured for trapping liquid therein and the plurality of channels defining a plurality of non-linear channel paths between the baffles, the non-linear channel paths having an approach angle to the baffles to deflect liquid into the vessels; feeding a second gas-impermeable film to a second nip between a second cooling roll and a second laminating roll; extruding molten resin to the second nip; pressing the molten resin between the second cooling roll and the second gas-impermeable film; cooling the molten resin such that a second inner layer is formed; wherein the second inner layer adheres to the second gas-impermeable film, thereby forming a second panel; overlapping the first panel with the second panel; and applying heat to a first, second, and third side of the first and second panels such that the first panel and the second panel form an envelope. 12. A method for manufacturing a bag adapted to receive an article, comprising: rotating a first cooling roll at a first rate, the first cooling roll including one or both of a plurality of cavities and a plurality of protuberances for forming a structure having a plurality of channels defined at least partially by a plurality of baffles, each of the plurality of baffles forming a vessel configured for trapping liquid therein and the plurality of channels defining a plurality of non-linear channel paths between the baffles, the non-linear channel paths having an approach angle to the baffles to deflect liquid into the vessels; rotating a first laminating roll at a second rate; introducing a first gas-impermeable film having at least one layer to a first nip between the first cooling roll and the first laminating roll; extruding molten resin to the first nip; pressing the molten resin between the first cooling roll and the first gas-impermeable film such that the molten resin fills the plurality of cavities exposed to the first nip; cooling the molten resin such that a first inner layer is formed; wherein the first inner layer comprises the structure; wherein the first inner layer adheres to the first gas-impermeable film, thereby forming a first panel; rotating a second cooling roll at a third rate; rotating a second laminating roll at a fourth rate; introducing a second gas-impermeable film having at least one layer to a second nip between the second cooling roll and the second laminating roll; extruding molten resin to the second nip; pressing the molten resin between the second cooling roll and the second gas-impermeable film; cooling the molten resin such that a second inner layer is formed; wherein the second inner layer adheres to the second gas-impermeable film, thereby forming a second panel; overlapping the first panel with the second panel; and applying heat to a portion of a periphery the first and second panels such that the first panel and the second panel form an envelope. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the second rate is an integer multiple of the first rate and the fourth rate is an integer multiple of the third rate. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the first gas-impermeable film and the second gas-impermeable film comprise at least one layer. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the at least one layer is one of polyester, polyamide, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and nylon. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein the molten resin is polyethylene. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein a thickness of the first inner layer is determined by the size of the first nip and the thickness of the second inner layer is determined by the size of the second nip.
