RESEALABLE PACKAGE HAVING SLIDER DEVICE, TAMPER-EVIDENT STRUCTURE, AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING

摘要

A method of manufacturing includes feeding a continuous web of flexible panel material into a package forming operation. The continuous web is configured to define first and second juxtaposed panel sections (19, 20); positioning a continuous strip of resealable closure mechanism (14) having a series of spaced slider devices (160) thereon between the first and second panel sections of the continuous web to form a continuous combination having the first and second panel sections and the resealable closure mechanism; and forming a plurality of flexible packages (10) from the continous combination. Each flexible package includes only one slider device thereon and a seal between the first and second panel sections oriented to enclose the one slider device between the first and second panel sections and the seal. A system for manufacturing a flexible package is disclosed. In addition, a flexible package is disclosed.
