The bag 3 has a body 4 and a bottom 5, and the body 4 has a tapered section 6 formed into the shape of a pyramid, and a cylindrical narrow mouth 7 continuing from the leading end of the tapered section 6. The bottom 5 has a bottom crease 8 for folding face members c and d on both sides toward the inside. The body 4 has side creases 11 for folding the upper part 10 of the body 4 toward the inside of the bag 3, leaving the lower part 9; flexible creases 12 for dividing the lower part 9 into halves; and oblique creases 15 and 16, for obliquely folding half lower parts 13 and 14 toward the inside of the bag 3.
