A reclosable bag is filled through an opening (14) defined between a back side (8') of a folded closure strip (5) secured to an inner surface of the bag on one side (9) of the bag opening, and an inner surface of the other side (10) of the bag opening. The filled bag is sealed by joining the back side (8') of the closure strip to the opposing bag wall (10) at a point (8) outboard of the closure strip and bag opening. The bag is later opened by breaking through a frangible section (7) in a folded portion of the closure strip, between mating bands (46, 48) of hooks and loops. In some cases, an extension (92, 9a, 10a) of one side of the bag forms a handle (4) or a fitment; in particular, funnels (80) can be formed from integral extensions of the closure strip (5), integral extensions of the bag-making material, or from a discrete preform which is joined to the construction.
