Patent ID: 8182891

Claim:
A resealable label flap positionable to cover an opening in a package, the label flap comprising: a base layer extending between a first end and a second end, the base layer including a first adhesive on a bottom face surface that permits repeated application and separation of the base layer relative to the package, the base layer having a starting tab formed near the second end to permit removal of the base layer from the package; a top layer attached to a top face surface of the base layer; a flap portion formed as a repeatably removable portion of the label flap from the combined base layer and top layer, the flap portion extending between an attachment end and a removable end including the starting tab; and a slit formed in only the base layer and the first adhesive at the attachment end of the flap portion opposite the starting tab, wherein the top layer extends over the slit to define a hinge, wherein the hinge allows the portion of the base layer that forms the flap portion to completely separate from the package in an open position, thus eliminating the flexing of the base layer and allowing the flap portion to remain in the open position.
