  • Package with attached resealable cover and method of making same
    Patent number: 6767604
    Abstract: A flexible package has a dispensing opening with a closure label overlying the opening that is permanently attached to the package by heat sealing along an edge portion adjacent the dispensing opening. The label has a releasable adhesive on the underside of the remaining portion for selectively opening and resealing the dispensing opening. The package is formed from a film that is partially die cut to form the dispensing opening. The label with the releasable adhesive is then applied to the package over the dispensing opening and heat sealed along an edge portion of the film. The film and attached label are later folded to form an envelope, filled with dispensable product, and heat sealed to encapsulate the product. The label can be selectively opened and resealed to enable access to the product through the dispensing opening. Complete removal of the label is prevented by the heat-sealed edge portion.
