A multi-closure strip of clips with one or more openings to hold the neck of a bag, which include a male and a female interlocking portion to hold the clips together in a series. Each clip includes a female pocket at a first edge, and a male tab at a second edge. Neighboring clips can interlock or mate-ably attach to the respective pockets and tabs without the need for adhesive, and without fracture of the clip material. Instead of a neighboring clip, a tag or label with a mating pocket or tab can be mate-ably attached to the clip. The clips can be made of a resilient plastic or biodegradable material, or any recyclable products. |

1. A plurality of clip of a flat material to close a neck of a bag, the plurality of clips comprising a clip adjoined to a first neighboring clip and to a second neighboring clip, each of the plurality of clips comprising:
a planar clip surface surrounding an aperture having a mouth, the mouth located on a side edge of each clip, and the neck of the bag received into the mouth of the aperture to close the neck of the bag; a first end edge, opposite from a second end edge, with the side edge of each clip located between the first end edge and the second end edge; the first end edge of the clip consisting of a singular pocket, and the second end edge of the clip consisting of a singular tab; the first neighboring singular tab of the first neighboring clip interlock-ably received into the singular pocket of the clip after separation from the singular pocket, the first neighboring singular tab separable from the singular pocket of the clip without fracture of the flat material; the singular tab of the clip interlock-ably received into the second neighboring singular pocket of the second neighboring clip after separation from the singular tab, the singular tab of the clip separable from the second neighboring singular pocket without fracture of the flat material; the singular pocket of each clip includes a first rounded arm and a second rounded arm, the first rounded arm having a first socket radius that departs from the first end edge of each clip, and smoothly transitions from the first end edge to a second socket radius that rejoins the first end edge at the second rounded arm; and the singular tab of each clip includes a first rounded shoulder and a second rounded shoulder, the first rounded shoulder having a first tab radius that departs from the second end edge of the clip, and smoothly transitions to a second tab radius that rejoins the second end edge at the second rounded shoulder. |
