Definitions
- the present invention pertains to a zipper reclosure that provides an improved package when used in a flow-wrap style of package.
- EP-A-0516393 discloses a package having a zipper closure having first and second interlocking profiles, the ends of which are not sealed together, and a peel seal.
- the above and other objects are attained by providing a reclosable package with a four flange zipper.
- the four flange zipper further includes a double profile which increases the ease of reclosure for the user.
- a pre-activated peel seal is located on the zipper flanges.
- Another embodiment includes a tear line in order to increase the end user's perception of a secure package.
- the package 10 of the present invention includes front face 12 and rear face 14.
- Front face 12 and rear face 14 can be formed from a single sheet of polymeric web or film, or can be formed from separate sheets which are sealed together at the bottom or sides of the package 10, particularly dependent upon the size and shape of the contents 100 of the package 10. If front face 12 and rear face 14 are provided as separate sheets, then front and rear faces 12, 14 are typically joined by side seals 16, 18 and bottom seal 20. If front face 12 and rear face 14 are provided as a single sheet, then one of seals 16, 18, 20 may be replaced by a fold formed between the front and rear faces 12,14.
- Mouth 30 is formed at the top of package 10 between the top edges 27, 29 of front face 12 and rear face 14, respectively.
- Zipper 32 is formed in the interior of mouth 30 and joined to the interior of front face 12 and rear face 14.
- Zipper 32 includes first profile assembly 36, attached to front face 12, and second profile assembly 38, attached to rear face 14.
- First profile assembly 36 includes first upper flange 40, first upper interlocking profile 44, first lower interlocking profile 48 and first lower flange 52.
- second profile assembly 38 includes second upper flange 42, second upper interlocking profile 46, second lower interlocking profile 50 and second lower flange 54.
- Upper interlocking profiles 44, 46 releasably interlock with each other and lower interlocking profiles 48, 50 releasably interlock with each other.
- first profile assembly 36 includes two female profiles while second profile assembly 38 include two male profiles.
- the ends of first and second profile assemblies 36, 38 do not include fully crushed end seals.
- pre-activated peel seal 56 is formed between first lower flange 52 and second lower flange 54, with side seals 16, 18 overlapping the ends of pre-activated peel seal 56, thereby providing tamper evidence and hermeticity.
- the upper interlocking profiles 44, 46, the lower interlocking profiles 48, 50 and the pre-activated peel seal 56 are all parallel with each other.
- phantom lines 60, 62 illustrate the upper and lower extents, respectively, of the first and second profile assemblies 36, 38.
- Contents 100 are illustrated as a block, such as cheese. However, other contents in the form of slices, chips and similar foodstuffs or other items are equally envisioned.
- Top edges 27, 29 are typically either weakly sealed together or hard sealed together but provided with lines of weakness, so that the top edges 27,29 may be easily separated by the consumer after the initial consumer purchase, with tamper evidence.
- the consumer then separates the upper interlocking profiles 44, 46, the lower interlocking profiles 48, 50 and the pre-activated peel seal 56.
- the user can then remove a portion of the contents and reclose the package 10.
- the double profile configuration makes it easier for the consumer to close the package 10 and maintain a hermetic seal.
