Abstract

A reclosable package or bag (2) having a mouth with a hermetic plastic zipper (4) installed therein. The hermetic zipper (4) has first (12) and second (14) interlockable profiled structures connected by a frangible connection (24) and having no flanges. The package or bag (2) is constructed such that the frangible connection (24) resides on the product side of the zipper (4), i.e., the frangible connection (24) extends inside the receptacle of the package or bag (2), when the package is in an unopened state, i.e., when the zipper (4) is closed. Preferably, the first interlockable profiled structure (12) has at least one male member (20) with an expanded head and the second interlockable profiled structure has at least one female member (22) with a groove for receiving the expanded head of a male member (20).
