Abstract
A reclosable bag has a body with opposite faces having side edges and defining an interior. The bag also has a reclosable hook-and-loop fastener strip secured to one of the bag faces. The fastener strip may form a reclosable face closure for accessing the bag interior through a face of the bag. In some cases the closure strip extends around one or more of the edges of the bag to form a pour spout side opening or to define a hinge as in a flip top box.
