Abstract: A resealable package includes first and second panel sections joined together to define an enclosed region, first and second opposite side edges, a bottom edge, and a mouth that provides access to the enclosed region. The resealable package also includes a closure mechanism for selectively opening and sealing the mouth. The closure mechanism includes first and second profiles having first and second base strips with first and second interlocking closure members extending from the first and second base strips. The first and second closure profiles also include third and fourth interlocking members extending from third and fourth base strips, the third interlocking member having a first sealing member projecting therefrom. The second closure profile further includes a second sealing member extending from a fifth base strip. The first and second sealing members engage to form a liquid-tight seal.

The closure mechanism includes first and second closure profiles, the first closure profile having first and second base strips with first and second interlocking closure members extending from the first and second base strips. The first and second closure profiles also include first and second sealing members extending from third and fourth base strips, the sealing members both having teeth disposed thereon. The first and second interlocking closure members and first and second sealing members extend a length from the first, second, third and fourth base strips sufficient for the first and second interlocking closure members and the first and secondd sealing members to selectively engage.
