a process for manufacturing reclosable bags by forming a film includes moving the film and attaching to the film sequentially and crosswise with reference to the direction of movement of the film , a fastener including a first strip supporting at least one reclosable profile engaged with another reclosable profile that is complementary thereto and supported by a second strip or a part of the first strip , which will subsequently be attached to the film . each strip includes at least one web extending substantially mostly sideways on one side of the profiles . the above arrangements make possible special fasteners that include sliders , gasket membranes , fasteners inverted within the bag , peel seals and hinged fasteners .
