Abstract: A child-resistant reclosable bag includes a container configured to retain one or more items, and a zipper coupled to the container. The zipper includes one or more primary seals, and one or more secondary seals at one or more defined locations. The one or more secondary seals at the one or more defined locations provide one or more areas to be engaged to peel open the container.

Abstract: Flexible enclosure includes a front sidewall and a back sidewall and also includes a resealable assembly having first and second zipper segments that are coupled with the front and back sidewalls, respectively. The first and second zipper segments are mateable with and releasable from each other. The flexible enclosure also includes a tear strip having an elongated strip body that extends along the front sidewall. The tear strip also includes a pull tab that is accessible to a user along the front sidewall. The strip body defines an integrated portion of at least one of the first and second zipper segments. The strip body breaks from the resealable assembly and tears an access opening through the front sidewall when the pull tab is pulled away from the front sidewall by the user.

Abstract: An anti-slip assembly is provided and may include an elongated assembly having a first side and an opposite second side. The elongated assembly may be wound onto a core of a spool for one or more of storage or transportation. The assembly also may include an alignment body that can be coupled with the first side of the elongated assembly. The alignment body may be formed of a material configured to stick with the second side of second segments of the elongated assembly while the elongated assembly is wound onto the core of the spool.

Abstract: Enclosure assembly includes an outer box enclosure and a flexible, resealable enclosure that is disposed within the outer box enclosure. The resealable enclosure has a resealer formed by a single intermeshable closure member that is affixed to and wraps from a front side of the outer box enclosure, around at least one of side edge of the outer box enclosure, and onto a back side of the resealable enclosure. Prior to initially opening the resealable enclosure, the intermeshable closure member is uncoupled with itself. The intermeshable closure member is configured to couple with itself at a first area of the intermeshable closure member that is on the front side of the resealable enclosure and at a different, second area of the intermeshable closure member that is on the back side of the resealable enclosure to close the resealable enclosure.

Abstract: A zipper assembly is provided that can include an elongated base that may be coupled with a panel of an enclosure, and interlocking elements protruding from the base that can alternate between a mated state while coupled with other interlocking elements of another base and an unmated state while separated from the other interlocking elements of the other base to alternately close and open the enclosure. One or more of the base or the interlocking elements may include a core and at least a partial outer layer. The core can be formed from a core material having a higher water solubility than an outer material from which the outer layer is formed.

Abstract: A child-resistant reclosable bag includes a container configured to retain one or more items within a product portion. A zipper is coupled to the container. The zipper is above the product portion. The zipper includes one or more primary seals, and one or more secondary seals at one or more defined locations. The one or more secondary seals at the one or more defined locations identify opening areas on the product portion. The opening areas are configured to be grasped and pulled apart to open the zipper.

Abstract: A filling slit is formed in a first panel of web material of a flexible pouch enclosure formed from the first panel and an opposing second panel of the web material and having a resealable closing assembly having interlocking male and female members joined to a flange. After the flexible pouch enclosure is at least partially filled with a product through an opening in the first panel of the web material that is created by the filling slit, the filling slit is closed by sealing the first panel to the flange of the resealable closing assembly.

Abstract: A resealable front panel enclosure and method of manufacturing the same is provided that includes cutting or punching a tab in an unfolded film material and applying a zipper assembly to the film material. The film material is formed into a resealable enclosure by folding the film material subsequent to applying the zipper assembly to the film material. The tab is disposed on an exterior surface of a first side of the formed resealable enclosure, and the zipper assembly is disposed on an interior surface of the first side of the formed resealable enclosure.

Abstract: Child-deterrent packaging includes an enclosure having opposing first and second sidewalls coupled with each other. The child-deterrent packaging also includes a zipper assembly coupled with the first and second sidewalls of the enclosure. The zipper assembly includes first and second zipper portions that mate with each other to enclose product that release from each other to provide access to the product. The child-deterrent packaging also includes a peel seal providing a barrier to ingress of one or more of oxygen or moisture. The peel seal is one or more of: disposed between and coupling the first and second zipper portions with each other, disposed between and coupling an entry section of the first sidewall with the first zipper portion of the zipper assembly, or disposed between and coupling the entry section of the first sidewall with another portion of the first sidewall.

Abstract: A filling slit is formed in a first panel of web material of a flexible pouch enclosure formed from the first panel and an opposing second panel of the web material and having a resealable closing assembly having interlocking male and female members joined to a flange. After the flexible pouch enclosure is at least partially filled with a product through an opening in the first panel of the web material that is created by the filling slit, the filling slit is closed by sealing the first panel to the flange of the resealable closing assembly.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a valve, a method for forming a valve, and a package. The valve is made of at least three layers—a first exterior layer (i.e., a base layer), at least one interior layer (i.e., a bubble layer), and a second exterior layer (i.e., a channel layer)—and an attachment section located on each of at least two of the at least three layers. A bubble is formed between two of the first exterior layer and the at least one interior layer, and the bubble includes an enclosed material. A channel is formed between two of the second exterior layer, the at least two interior layers, and the first exterior layer, and the channel includes an inlet and an outlet. A physical characteristic of the bubble biases the channel towards a closed position that restricts flow of contents from the inlet to the outlet.
