A closure mechanism extends between side edges of a reclosable pouch and includes complementary interlocking closure elements each having an elongate profile extending between first and second ends thereof. Guide rails are disposed along exterior sides of the complementary interlocking closure elements. A slider is disposed in straddling relation over the guide rails and an end-stomp is defined by a fused-together portion of the interlocking closure elements proximate an end of the closure mechanism. The end-stomp may include a flattened region, a first raised ridge that is generally parallel to the interlocking closure elements, and a second raised ridge that is generally perpendicular to the first raised ridge. The second raised ridge extends away from a pouch interior and beyond opening side lateral edges of the complementary interlocking closure elements a distance that is sufficient to engage a top wall of the slider.
