  • Publication number: 20120199640
    Abstract: A recloseable closure for a container such as secondary packaging. The recloseable closure has a tuck tab to be tucked into a tuck slit to maintain the closure in a closed configuration to maintain articles within the secondary packaging. The tuck tab has a unique configuration, and the tuck slit has a protrusion that also has a unique configuration and which is positioned to cover the tuck tab when the tuck tab is tucked in the tuck slit. The tuck tab may be shaped to conform to the shape of the contents of the container, and/or may have a graphic element printed thereon, illustrating the contents of the container. The tuck slit protrusion may be configured to conform to the shape of the tuck tab and to bear the same graphic element as on the tuck tab. Thus, when the tuck tab is tucked into the slit, the tuck slit protrusion covers the tuck tab while still displaying substantially the same graphic element displayed by the tuck flap.
