Abstract

An embodiment includes a bag comprising mesh and film side walls and a reinforcing strip of film; wherein (a) the mesh side wall is sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) the film side wall is non-coplanar with a portion of the bottom extension; (e) another portion of the bottom extension is non-coplanar with the mesh side wall; and (f) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bag comprising:
 a mesh side wall, a film side wall, and a reinforcing strip of film;   wherein (a) the mesh side wall is directly sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is directly sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and directly sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) the film side wall is non-coplanar with a portion of the bottom extension; (e) another portion of the bottom extension is non-coplanar with the mesh side wall; (f) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension; (g) the horizontal axis is orthogonal to a plane including a portion of the film side wall; and (h) the bottom extension includes first, second, and third lateral portions, the first and second lateral portions are directly sealed to each other but not to the third lateral portion, and the third lateral portion directly seals to the bottom portion of the film side wall.   
     
     
         2 . A bag comprising:
 a mesh side wall, a film side wall, and a reinforcing strip of film;   wherein (a) the mesh side wall is directly sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is directly sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and directly sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension; and (e) the film side wall includes a bottom edge orthogonal to the side edges of the film side wall, and the bottom edge couples to the side edges of the film side wall via angled edges that are not orthogonal with either the bottom edge or the side edges of the film side wall.   
     
     
         3 . A bag comprising:
 a mesh side wall, a film side wall, and a reinforcing strip of film;   wherein (a) the mesh side wall is directly sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is directly sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the mesh side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the mesh side wall, extending upwardly and directly sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the film side wall; (d) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the mesh side wall and three portions of the bottom extension; and (e) the mesh side wall includes a bottom edge orthogonal to the side edges of the mesh side wall, and the bottom edge couples to the side edges of the mesh side wall via angled edges that are not orthogonal with either the bottom edge or the side edges of the mesh side wall.
