  • Container With mid-level closure and tear-off features
    Publication number: 20120195533
    Abstract: A snack food package employs a container bag that has an area of weakness formed at a location about one-third of the way down from the top to enable facile removal of an emptied upper section of the bag. An associated closure strip assembly is located just below the area of weakness to enable closing of the bottom section of the bag containing remaining product. Covering elements overlie the exposed surfaces of the closure strip components, to protect them against contamination by particulate matter, until the top section of the bag has been removed.
