Abstract: An easy opening, tamper evident package has a package body with a mouth opening to receive materials. A closure flap extends from the package body next to the mouth opening. The closure flap has an inner surface which faces and overlaps an edge portion of the package body when the closure flap is fully extended to close mouth opening. An adhesive closure is permanently adhered to the inner surface of the flap and has an adhesive surface which adheres to the edge portion, at least when said closure flap is fully extended over said mouth opening and pressed against said package body. A break-away region is defined in the package by perforations through the package body near the mouth opening. The adhesive closure overlaps the break-away region, at least when the closure flap is fully extended over said mouth opening to close the mouth so that the overlapped break-away region is subject to tear forces applied to the package to separate the closure flap from the adhered edge portion when the package is opened.

Abstract: A mailer package is formed from a single sheet of foldable stock material and includes a pair of major planar parallel panels adjoining one another and joined together along a first fold of the material. A pair of panel tabs extending from opposing edges of one panel of the pair and are secured to opposing edge portions of the remaining panel of the pair. A closure flap extends from a fourth edge of the one panel and overlaps the remaining side of the package when closed, extending between the pair of panel tabs. The closure flap abuts the panel tab when the closure flap is closed with only pull tabs at the lateral sides of the closure flap extending above the panel tabs and the remainder of the closure flap. The closure flap extends more than halfway from the closure flap fold to the opposing first fold such that the pair of panel tabs and closure flap cover more than half of a major side of the closed mailer package.
