Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2189461A] A container (10) having an access opening (18) and a resealable sealing device (14), the latter consisting of a closure flap (16) which is secured at one end region (16a) to the front side of the container and is coated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (28) to permit the container to be opened and resealed. A pair of L-shaped cuts (19a/19b) are formed in the flap to define a pair of tabs or fingers (16b) integral with the one end region of the flap, and a pair of tear prevention holes (20) are formed at the ends of the cuts on the line of attachement of the body of the flap to the one end region thereof, all to prevent the flap from tearing away from the container. In one embodiment of the invention, a non-adhesive member (24) is cut peninsularly out of the front side of the container to define the access opening and is adhesively secured to the coated face of the flap, and an additional pair of tear prevention holes (26) are provided in the non-adhesive member at the ends of its side edges on a second line of attachment coinciding with the first line of attachment.
