Abstract: A closure has at least one channel portion adapted to receive an interlocking profile portion. The channel has at least one window permitting visual inspection of a profile interlocked therein. At least one profile is disposed for interlocking with the channel and includes a stem joined to the closure and one or more latching projections formed by a frangible connection to the stem, wherein one or more projections are adapted to cooperatively interlock with the channel portion of the closure, thereby sealing the closure. In one closure, a tamper evident structure is included in the form of a slider having a shaver to engage in shaving contact with interlocking closure members when passed along the closure in a direction opposite to the closing direction. The various closure members can include different colors. The closures can be used on bag structures.

Abstract: A container has a pair of side walls for defining a container interior and at least one open end. The container also includes a reclosable sealing device including a first locking member and a second locking member, each formed with a web respectively extending along the side walls adjacent the open end. The first and second locking members are repeatedly matable so that upon mating engagement of the first and second locking members along their substantially entire lengths, the open end is substantially entirely closed. Visual indicia means are provided by printing automatically and directly applied along substantially an entire length of an outer surface of at least one of the first and second locking members to present various graphics for identity or aesthetic purposes and facilitate locating and closing the sealing device.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a multi-colored closure member of a closure profile includes a die plate for receiving melted materials having different colors at a die plate input port and extruding the closure member at a die plate output port. The apparatus further includes an adaptor module, connected to the die plate input face, for channeling each of the melted materials to a selected section of the die plate input port which corresponds to a specific portion of the closure member. The adaptor module includes an input face with separate input ports for receiving each of the melted materials, and an output face with output ports configured substantially in a form of specific portions of the closure member. A configuration of channels connects the adaptor module input ports to the adaptor module output ports. Each selected section of the die plate input port is fed by a corresponding adaptor module output port.
