A reclosable plastic bag has a bottom, sides, and a mouth and has a reclosable zipper for opening and resealing the plastic bag mouth. Heat seals are placed at each end of the zipper and each heat seal has an aperture therethrough and may form a pair of protruding hanging tabs. A protruding center tab extends from each side of said bag above the zipper and extending above the mouth of the bag such that each tab can be grabbed for opening the reclosable zipper. A method of making a reclosable zipper bag includes the steps of making a plastic bag having bottom, sides, and a mouth and having a reclosable zipper for opening and resealing the plastic bag mouth and heat sealing each end of the plastic bag zipper to seal the two sides together and punching an aperture in each of the heat seals and then cutting a protruding center tab in the plastic bag and forming an aperture through the center tab to form a reclosable plastic bag which is easily opened and resealed and has supporting tabs.
