Disclosed are bags especially adapted to be made from plastic material and in which the bag body film or material and extruded plastic zippers are fusibly incompatible. A pair of extruded plastic zipper strips having reclosable zipper profiles facing toward one another along the lower sides of pull flanges of the bag have the opposite ends of the strips sandwiching opposite side seal seams of the bag therebetween. The opposite side seal seams have holes therethrough, and fused connecting anchors formed from the material of the zipper strip ends extend through the holes. The bag may be closed by squeezing the zipper strips together so that the profiles interlock with one another and interlock the intervening area of the bag walls therebetween. A method of making the bags is also disclosed.

In a bag comprising a thin web material body having opposite walls providing a bottom end, side seal seams and an openable top flanked by opposed upwardly projecting pull flanges: extruded plastic zipper means comprising a pair of strips having complementary reclosably interlockable zipper profiles

In a bag comprising a thin web material body having opposite walls providing a bottom end, side seal seams and an openable top flanked by opposed upwardly projecting pull flanges: extruded plastic zipper means comprising a pair of strips having complementary reclosably interlockable zipper profiles having the profiles facing toward one another and the strips located in alignment along lower sides of said pull flanges; one of said strips being mounted on the outside of one wall of the bag body and the other of said zipper strips being mounted along the outside of the opposite wall of the bag body; said material of said bag body and the material of said zipper strips being fusibly incompatible; said side seams having holes therethrough; and fused anchors securing the ends of said zipper strips together through said holes so that the strips are attached to said bag body without affecting the integrity of the bag walls or said side seal seams, so that said zipper strip profiles interlockably interengage and pinch the area of the bag walls between the strips into the interlocked profiles and thereby hold the bag top closed. A method of making a bag equipped with extruded plastic reclosable zipper means, comprising: forming a bag body from thin web material and having a bottom end, closed sides and an openable top flanked by opposed upwardly projecting pull flanges; providing said bag sides with side seams; providing extruded plastic zipper strips and comprising a pair of opposed strips located in alignment on opposite outside faces of said bag body with complementary reclosably interlockable zipper profiles of the strips facing toward one another with an area of the bag body material intervening between said strips so that the strips can be squeezed together with the intervening material locked in the profiles; assembling said profile strips with the bag body and with opposite ends of the strips sandwiching sides of the bag therebetween; forming holes in said side seams aligned with said strip ends; and fusing connecting anchors from the end portions of the strips through said holes for thereby attaching said opposite ends of said strips to said bag sides.
