Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3360815A1] The present disclosure relates to plastic or polymeric container with reclosable zippers (10) which make the package child-resistant. In one typical embodiment, this is achieved by a zipper with a high internal opening force and a low external opening force, wherein three flanges (16, 18, 34) are sealed to the bag walls, and one external flange (32) is left unsealed. In order to encounter the low external opening force, the user must grab the unsealed external flange while applying an external opening force to the zipper. Additionally the unsealed external flange (32) includes an upper surface with a plurality of tabs (35) extending therefrom which make it more difficult for a child to grap the flange.
