FLEXIBLE PACKAGE HAVING AN AUTOMATIC CLOSURE FEATURE.

摘要

A reclosable flexible package is suitable for retail sale of food products and is comprised of a film material. The reclosable flexible packages are suitable for mass production on high-speed form-fill-seal equipment. The flexible package includes a pair of semi-rigid strips attached to the walls of the flexible pouch and positioned parallel to the package opening. The semi-rigid strips are configured and arranged to nest together and bias toward one another. Upon opening of the package, the semi-rigid strips are moveable between a closed position and an open position. Further, the semi-rigid strips are configured such that they automatically reclose the package when the strips are released from the open position.
