Abstract
A reclosable bag with a hook and hook closure can include walls formed of a material having multiple layers, which can include at least one gusset. The bag can be formed into a full open mouth configuration for ease of filling and ease of dispensing product. The hook and hook closure allows for an imprecise alignment of the closure track to substantially close the bag around the gusset area. A method of manufacturing a reclosable bag with a hook and hook closure is also presented.
