A storage bag includes first and second sidewalls having a top edge, a top portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of the first sidewall includes at least one shift region about which the bag is capable of shifting. The shift region includes a score line, an indentation, or a crimp formed into the first sidewall. The top portions of the sidewalls include a cuff region includes a textured patterned band to provide a visual cue to a user as to where to fold and to cuff the bag. The bag shifts between (i) a flat configuration with the sidewalls positioned adjacent to each other, and (ii) a stand-up configuration with the sidewalls separated from each other. In the stand-up configuration, the bag has a substantially flat base. The cuff region can be shifted to a cuffed position with the cuff region forming the opening to the bag.

A storage bag comprising: (A) a first sidewall having a top edge, a top portion, and a bottom portion, and including at least one shift region about which the bag is capable of shifting, the at least one shift region being provided in the bottom portion of the first sidewall, and the at least one shift region comprising one of (a) a score line, (b) an indentation, and (c) a crimp formed into the first sidewall;(B) a second sidewall connected to the first sidewall along three sides of the bag to form an interior of the bag with an opening thereto, the second sidewall having a top edge, a top portion, and a bottom portion; and(C) a cuff region disposed below the top edge of the first sidewall and the top edge of the second sidewall, the cuff region being provided in the top portion of each of the first and second sidewalls, and the cuff region comprising a textured patterned band to provide a visual cue to a user as to where to fold and to cuff the bag,wherein the bag shifts: (a) between (i) a flat configuration with the first and second sidewalls positioned adjacent to each other, and (ii) a stand-up configuration with the first and second sidewalls separated from each other, such that, in the stand-up configuration, the bag has a substantially flat base, and(b) about the cuff region such that the bag can be shifted to a cuffed position with the cuff region forming the opening to the bag. 2. A storage bag according to claim 1, the first sidewall further comprising a cuff line provided in the top portion of the first sidewall, the cuff line comprising at least one shift region about which the bag is capable of shifting. 3. A storage bag according to claim 2, wherein the at least one shift region of the cuff line of the first sidewall comprises one of (i) a score line, (ii) an indentation, and (iii) a crimp formed into the first sidewall. 4. A storage bag according to claim 2, the second sidewall further comprising a cuff line provided in the top portion of the second sidewall, the cuff line comprising at least one shift region about which the bag is capable of shifting. 5. A storage bag according to claim 4, wherein the at least one shift region of the cuff line of the second sidewall comprises one of (i) a score line, (ii) an indentation, and (iii) a crimp formed into the second sidewall. 6. A storage bag according to claim 4, wherein the cuff line of each of the first and second sidewalls comprises a straight line that extends from a first edge to a second edge of the respective sidewall. 7. A storage bag according to claim 4, wherein the cuff line of each of the first and second sidewalls comprises a dashed line that extends from a first edge to a second edge of the respective sidewall. 8. A storage bag according to claim 4, wherein the cuff line of each of the first and second sidewalls comprises a curved line that extends from a first edge to a second edge of the respective sidewall. 9. A storage bag according to claim 1, wherein the first sidewall further includes a first interlocking closure structure and the second sidewall further includes a second interlocking closure structure, the first interlocking closure structure being configured to interlock with the second interlocking closure structure to seal the opening of the bag. 10. A storage bag according to claim 9, wherein, on the first sidewall, the cuff region is disposed below the first interlocking closure structure, and wherein, on the second sidewall, the cuff region is disposed below the second interlocking closure structure. 11. A storage bag according to claim 9, wherein the first sidewall further includes a third interlocking closure structure disposed below the first interlocking closure structure, and the second sidewall further includes a fourth interlocking closure structure disposed below the second interlocking closure structure, the third interlocking closure structure being configured to interlock with the fourth interlocking closure structure to seal the opening of the bag. 12. A storage bag according to claim 11, wherein, on the first sidewall, the cuff region is disposed below the third interlocking closure structure of the first sidewall, and wherein, on the second sidewall, the cuff region is disposed below the fourth interlocking closure structure of the second sidewall. 13. A storage bag according to claim 1, wherein the textured patterned band is formed by embossing. 14. A storage bag according to claim 1, wherein the bottom portion of at least one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall comprises a patterned area. 15. A storage bag according to claim 14, wherein at least one of the textured patterned band and the patterned area is formed by embossing. 16. A storage bag according to claim 14, wherein the textured patterned band comprises a pattern that is the same as the pattern of the patterned area. 17. A storage bag according to claim 14, wherein the textured patterned band comprises a pattern that is different from the pattern of the patterned area. 18. A storage bag according to claim 1, wherein each of the first sidewall and the second sidewall comprises a patterned area that extends from a point below the cuff region to at least the bottom portion of each of the first and second sidewalls, and wherein the patterned area of each of the first and second sidewalls is included for at least one of (i) disguising the at least one shift region of the first sidewall, (ii) adding stiffness to each of the first and second sidewalls, and (iii) providing a visual cue to a user as to where to fold and to cuff the bag. 19. A storage bag according to claim 18, wherein the patterned area is formed by embossing. 20. A storage bag according to claim 1, wherein the at least one shift region of the first sidewall includes (i) shift regions that extend from near a first corner of the first sidewall and (ii) shift regions that extend from near a second corner of the first sidewall, and wherein, in the stand-up configuration, the bag is shifted about each of the shift regions of the first sidewall such that the substantially flat base is formed for the bag. 21.
