Bag closure , formed from a single length of pliable, resilient substantially-tubular hose comprises a first &ldquo;base&rdquo; section of unmodified hose, a second narrowed &ldquo;neck&rdquo; section , and a third &ldquo;clamp&rdquo; section . Clamp section is a trimmed section of hose having a substantially C-shaped cross section, formed by removing a narrow strip of hose material parallel to the hose axis. Hinge is a trimmed section of hose having a substantially parenthesis-shaped cross section, formed by removing a wider strip of hose material parallel to the hose axis. A bag neck may be sealed by laying the flattened bag neck across substantially-cylindrical base , folding the closure at its narrowed neck or hinge and forcing clamp section over base , trapping the bag neck between base and clamp and forming a tight seal.
