  • Patent number: 5772331
    Abstract: A microwave and oven safe packaging is provided which may be repeatedly resealed. The packing includes a top panel, a back panel, side panels and a bottom panel which define an enclosure in which a food item may be placed. The top and bottom panels have a top and a bottom, and the tops of the top and bottom panels are positionable substantially adjacent each other to define a top of the packaging. A non-metallic, flexible closure is provided which may be used to repeatedly close the package. The closure includes an elongate inner portion which extends generally parallel to the sides of the package. The inner portion is adhered to the bag front panel and is spaced from the top of the panel. An upper portion has a free and a fixed end. The upper portion is adhered to the bottom of the inner portion at its fixed end. The upper portion is longer than the inner portion and its free end extends beyond the top of the package to be wrapped about the top of the package and adhered to the back panel of the packaging.
