Abstract
A reusable neck closure band for a plastic bag and a method of securing same to a bag is disclosed. A closure band is formed from an elongated rectangular strip of plastic material and comprises a neck retention portion for retaining a bunched neck portion of the bag, and opposed free band portions. The neck retention portion is attached to the bag by a heat fused attachment. A detachable seal interconnects the free band portions together adjacent the bunched neck portion to restrain the bunched neck portion. The detachable seal is disconnected by pulling the free band portions away from one another to cause the detachable seal to detach to free the bunched neck portion of the bag. The bag is reclosable by tieing the free band portions together about a reformed bunched neck portion.
