More specifically, the bag convertible into a tablecloth object of the invention, is constituted from a sheet that forms the internal area, made of paper or other material that has the shape of a square or a rectangle that has three of its four sides and an upper embouchure, presenting climbs on its sides in order to facilitate its opening and achieve a sheet of rectangular plant, that is, in order to present controlled breaking means, the tear is performed properly.

The invention can have an existing component on the outer surface of the paper bag manufactured under suitable conditions to facilitate its opening on the sides, this sheet being attached to the external surface and having thermal characteristics to maintain the temperature of the contents. The invention is implemented with a sheet of plastic material or other material that fixed either to the surface of the bag or to the surface of the material incorporated on the surface of the bag, has reinforcing means and handles to facilitate its rigidity, as well as as his transport. Once the contents of the paper bag implemented with the sheets described above have been emptied, the tearing of the sides is carried out and the sheet obtained is left to be constituted as a tablecloth on which the content of the bag configured as a bag can be ingested. A food. In a second configuration, the bag convertible into a tablecloth consists of three components, forming the central area with a laminar body that takes the form of a bag made of a tablecloth, easily foldable and foldable when it comes to incorporating prepared foods into the interior. , and endowed with physical characteristics as far as its resistance is concerned, to support in its interior and the subsequent transport of the incorporated elements, also presenting volumetric characteristics and sanitary norms for the content. The two remaining components are configured as laminar pieces that contribute to the thermal maintenance of the contents inside the central body which are temporarily fixed on the sides of the central body, and which have a width similar to the central body, but of a slightly long length greater, in order to present punched openings applicable as handles on its emerging ends. These external laminar bodies allow the external printing of advertising or identification graphics, the bag consequently being configured as an advertising vehicle, while in the internal zone they are also able to receive impressions forming an ornament of a tablecloth. Once the time has come to effect the intake of the foods contained inside the central body, the elements attached to the external surface, are separated, forming two laminar pieces that when extended on a surface, are configured as tablecloths to be made on the same the consumption of food. The central body can have closing means in the area of its embouchure.

Likewise, between the external laminar elements and the central body, complementary elements can be incorporated, such as napkins, advertising brochures, etc., that is, when the external lateral sheets are fixed by means of a fixation made on the sides and side lower, between them and the central body are configured pockets applicable for the transport of different laminar elements that are maintained in optimal conditions until the removal of the constituent parts of the tablecloths, especially napkins and information leaflets.
