Abstract (en)

A flexible, reclosable package (10) having a zipper closure (30) and a slider device (40) mounted thereon. The package has at least two configurations: a first, zipper storage configuration, and a second, zipper exposed or operable configuration. When in the zipper storage configuration, a tamper-evident structure (50), together with a portion of the surrounding wall (13) that defines the package interior, forms a pocket (20) for enveloping at least a portion of the zipper closure. When in the zipper exposed or operable configuration, the slider device is exposed to permit opening and closing of the zipper closure. The package is transformed from the zipper storage configuration to the zipper exposed configuration by removing the tamper-evident structure and, preferably, removing the zipper closure from the pocket. <IMAGE>
