Attached
Handles - Drawstring
The drawstring design relies on distributing the load
along the bag's entire top, thus avoiding concentrating
load stresses that can cause the bag to fail. The drawstring
bag is more difficult to manufacture than most shopping
bags. Designs vary in how the top hem of plastic is
sealed over the string, and how the string emerges from
this hem. Strings can be made of soft cord or flat plastic
material. The bag in Movie 1 will fail in an unlikely
spot -- can you predict where it will give way?
