Recloseable Stand-Up Flexible Packages

摘要

Recloseable, stand-up flexible packages are provided for containing a product therein. The packages (10) generally include gusseted top and bottom walls (16, 18) disposed between front and back panels (12, 14). In embodiments, a line of weakness (25) may define an opening panel (24) extending across at least a portion of the gusseted top wall (16) onto a portion of one or both of the front panel (12) and back panel (14). A resealable flexible sealing label (26) may be disposed over and extend beyond the opening panel (24) over a portion of one or both of the front panel (12) and back panel (14) in an overlapping area. In embodiments, a transverse peelable seam (15) extends from and is positioned along an edge of the gusseted top wall (16) and one of the front or back panel (12, 14), the transverse peelable seam (15) being formed from a peelable and resealable adhesive.

主权项

1. A recloseable stand-up flexible package for containing a product therein, comprising:
a package body formed from a flexible film having a front panel and a back panel sealed together along lateral edges thereof by two opposing longitudinal seams and a transverse side seam across either the front panel or back panel; a gusseted top wall provided between the front panel and back panel between top portions of the front panel and back panel and a gusseted bottom wall provided between the front panel and back panel between bottom portions of the front panel and back panel; a line of weakness extending across a portion of the package body to define an opening panel of the package body, the opening panel extending across at least a portion of the gusseted top wall onto a portion of the front panel; and a flexible sealing label disposed over and extending beyond the opening panel over an overlapping area, wherein the flexible sealing label and opening panel are permanently adhered to one another such that pulling the flexible sealing label in a peeling direction separates the opening panel from the package body at the line of weakness and forms an opening in at least the gusseted top wall of the package body, the flexible sealing label further comprising a resealable adhesive extending beyond the opening panel of the package body for forming a resealable closure in the overlapping area.
