Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0117864A2] A reclosable plastic package comprises first and second opposing body panels joined to each other along a pair of sides. Opposing top and bottom portions extend between the pair of sides. The package is provided with a reclosable fastener extending along the top portion. The fastener includes first and second opposing tracks including respective first and second profiles. The first and second profiles are adapted to releasably interlock with each other. The top portion of the package includes a top gusset connecting the first track to the first body panel. The top gusset includes a pair of opposing gusset panels joined to each other at their lower ends along a fold line. One of the gusset panels extends downward from the first track, while the other of the gusset panels extends downward from the first body panel. In response to filling the package with a bulky food product such as bagels or a loaf of bread, the top gusset expands. The expanded top gusset allows the package to easily accommodate the bulky food product and, at the same time, provides a display area that can carry graphics for merchandising the food product in the package.
