Patent ID: 6843600

Claim:
A flexible, reclosable package comprising: (a) first and second panel sections defining an interior; (b) a zipper sealed to each of the first and second panel sections along a top edge thereof, the zipper extending from a first side edge to a second side edge and comprising first and second mating profiles, each having an upper flange; (c) a slider device constructed and arranged for mounting on the zipper and for interlocking the first mating profile with the second mating profile when the slider device is moved in one direction and disengaging the first mating profile from the second mating profile when the slider device is moved in another opposite direction, the slider device being operably mounted on the zipper; and (d) a first tamper evident seal attaching the upper flanges of the first and second profiles together and extending through a passageway formed through the slider device such that pulling of the tamper evident seal will separate the seal from the upper and lower flanges and concurrently engage a portion of the slider device to progressively move the slider device across the first and second closure profiles from the first side edge to the second side edge to provide access to the interior of the package.
