Abstract: A multi-layer film and a film package made from the film are described herein that provide resealing capabilities by utilizing a tacky layer within the multi-layer film. The multi-layer film can include an outer film portion including the embedded tacky layer and an inner film portion. An opening feature formed in the multi-layer film includes a flap configured to be manipulated by a user to create an opening through the multi-layer film. The inner film portion can include a release layer configured specifically to interact with the tacky layer to provide a desired separation peel force and resealing functionalities. The outer film portion can include an outer film layer disposed on an opposite side of the tacky layer from the release layer that is configured to permanently adhere to the tacky layer.

Abstract: A method of marking a package (72) includes providing a package (72) including an additive transformable from a first state to a second state in response to an external stimulus and presenting said package via a sales device (80). At least a portion of said additive is in said first state when said package is presented in said sales device (80). At least a portion of said additive is activated to form identifying indicia on said package within said sales device (80).
