Zipper strip and reclosable package

摘要

A reclosable package (10) for a consumer product includes a zipper strip having male and female interlocking profiles (24,26). The former (24) has a male interlocking member (28) having a cross section in the shape of an asymmetric arrowhead (30,32). The latter (26) has a female interlocking member (40) in the form of two mutually curving members (42) defining a channel therebetween. The male interlocking member (28) is snappingly engaged into the channel to reclose the package (10). The asymmetric male interlocking member (28) has an acute edge (30) outward of the interior of the package (10), and a rounded edge (32) facing the inside of the package (10). This asymmetry makes the package (10) easier to open from within than from without. <IMAGE>
