Claim:
1. A resealable, tamper evident container comprising: a substrate defining an outer face and an oppositely directed inner face; a cover layer disposed on the substrate, the cover layer defining an outer face and an oppositely directed inner face, the cover layer and the substrate being sealed to one another in at least one sealing region to thereby define an initially sealed interior hollow region for storage, the cover layer and the substrate defining a peripheral edge extending about at least a portion of an outer perimeter of the container, the cover layer defining two lines of weakened material extending between a first region of the edge to a second region of the edge and proximate the interior hollow region, wherein the two lines of weakened material define a tear off tab extending between the two lines of weakened material and the first and second regions of the peripheral edge, the at least one sealing region extending between the tear off tab and the interior hollow region, the cover layer and the substrate further defining a sealing-free region co-extensive with the two lines of weakened material, wherein the cover layer includes a release layer; wherein a releasable yet resealable adhesive is disposed within the at least one sealing region, wherein the tear off tab defines a pull end adjacent to one of the first and second regions of the peripheral edge and proximate the sealing-free region, wherein the cover layer defines a peel tab and the sealing-free region is co-extensive with the peel tab, wherein both the tear off tab and the peel tab constitute a portion of the cover layer and both the tear off tab and the peel tab are free of sealing to the substrate, and wherein the two lines of weakened material comprise perforations extending through an entire thickness of the cover layer.
