Claim 3:
4. A tamper evident package, comprising:
a plurality of sidewalls defining a packaging, the packaging having a closure providing access to an interior compartment of the packaging;
a closure slide configured to sealingly close a cooperating seal along the closure, the closure slide operable between an open position, an intermediate position, and a fully closed position;
a land defined in a face of the closure slide, the land adapted to carry a unique identification code;
a window defined in the closure at the fully closed position, wherein in the fully closed position, the unique identification code is visible through the window;
a plurality of ratchet teeth defined within the closure slide, the plurality of ratchet teeth oriented for cooperative engagement with a plurality of cooperating ratchet teeth at the fully closed end of the closure to retain the closure slide in the fully closed position;
an upper track defined along a width of the closure, the upper track having at least one channel defined along the width of the closure and oriented inwardly from a first face of the closure;
at least one protrusion defined in a-second face of the closure, the at least one protrusion extending along the width of the closure, the at least one protrusion dimensioned for cooperative sealing engagement with the at least one channel;
an upper slot defined in the closure slide, the upper slot dimensioned to urge the at least one protrusion in cooperative engagement with the at least one channel when the closure slide is moved from the open position towards the fully closed position;
a lower track defined across the closure spaced apart from the upper track, the lower track having a keyed protrusion; and
a keyed slot defined in the closure slide, the keyed slot and the keyed protrusion configured to cooperatively engage as the closure slide is moved between the open position to the fully closed position to maintain the closure slide in alignment with the closure.
