Methods of manufacturing reclosable packages using transverse closure and slider applicator

摘要

A method of making packages (34) having a reclosable zipper construction (20) openable and closeable by a slider device (50) by a horizontal form, fill and seal process. The method includes applying the slider device (50) to the zipper construction (20) prior to incorporating the zipper construction with the package film (110) to form the package (34). The zipper construction (20) is first applied and adhered to one half of the package film and then to the other half. A tamper-evident seal may be provided encasing the slider device to provide indication whether access has been gained to the slider device and the interior of the package.
