SIDE CLOSURE ARANGEMENT WITH SLIDER DEVICE HAVING A TAMPER EVIDENT STRIP, AND METHODS

摘要

A flexible package includes a recloseable zipper closure along the mouth of the package for selective opening and closing of the mouth. The zipper closure includes first and second mating closure profiles that are configured and constructed to selectively interlock. A slider device is mounted on the zipper closure to facilitate the mating (closing) and unmating (opening) of the mating closure profiles. A tamper evident seal is provided between the zipper closure and the package interior to indicate whether the seal on the package has been damaged or the interior of the package has been breached. The tamper evident seal blocks access to the package interior even if the zipper is opened. To gain access to the package interior, the tamper evident seal must be broken.
