Stand-up, gusseted packages (10) having a recloseable closure mechanism (30) around the periphery of the package mouth (20). The package has opposite first (12) and second (14) panels, and first (22) and second (24) side panels, which together form a surrounding wall (13) that defines the mouth. The closure mechanism (33) is present on each of the panels. On the first and second panels, the closure mechanism is oriented inward, so that the panels can be interlocked. On each of the first and second side panels, the closure mechanism is oriented outward, and is present as a first portion and a second portion defined by the gusset. To close the package, the closure mechanisms on the first panel and second panel are interlocked, and the side panels are folded inward to allow the first portion and the second portion to interlock. Methods of making the package are described. |
