A resealable package (p) having a slider-operated zipper (z) has the contents of the package accessed through the front wall (10) of the package (p), not through the top (4) of the package (p). The resealable package (p) comprises: a bag body comprising front and rear walls (10,12) of bag making material; a flexible zipper (z) joined to the front wall (10) and not joined to the rear wall (12); and a slider (22) mounted to the zipper (z), the slider (22) being movable in a first direction along the zipper (z) for opening the zipper (z) and movable in a second direction along the zipper (z) for closing the zipper (z). Alternatively, the flexible zipper (z) is joined to the front wall (10) along first and second zones of joinder (18,20) disposed at different heights on the front wall (10), and is joined to the rear wall (12) only in zones of joinder (14, Fig. 5) where the zipper (z) is joined to both of the front (10) and rear (12) walls. <IMAGE> |
