Abstract: A flexible pouch including first and second flexible sheets and first and second seal arrangements is provided. The first and second flexible sheets are permanently sealed to one another along less than the entire periphery thereof and define a storage compartment therebetween. The first seal arrangement has a first portion on the first flexible sheet and a second portion on the second flexible sheet. The first and second portions extend across the un-sealed portion of the periphery. When the first and second portions are mechanically locked, a permanent seal is around the entire periphery preventing access to the storage compartment absent visible destruction of the flexible pouch. The second seal arrangement has a third portion on the first flexible sheet and a fourth portion on the second flexible sheet. When the third and fourth portions are mechanically locked, a reclosable seal is provided preventing access to the storage compartment.
