A container or pouch made entirely from an elastomer includes a body having a front wall and a rear wall that is connected to the front wall along a peripheral edge, and a closure system that includes a front side having a front sealing profile that includes a male closure element that extends from a thickened region and a rear side having a rear sealing profile that includes a female closure element and defining an opening into a cavity. A centerline extends through the opening, the cavity, the male closure element, and the thickened region when the closure system is in a closed configuration. The closure system includes a left tab and a right tab that each extend in an outward direction.

Closure system for pouch or container

A storage bag has a first closure profile attached to a first side surface, with the first closure profile forming a lip between an interlocking member and an edge of the first closure profile. The bag also includes a second closure profile attached to the second side surface, with the second closure profile forming a lip between an interlocking member and an edge of the second closure profile. The lips of the first and second closure profiles are visually distinct colors or different shades of a color in order to aid the user in locating the lips.

Storage bag with colored lips

A storage bag has first and second side surfaces, and a sealable and an unsealable opening. A bottom end of the bag is movable between a flat configuration with the first and second side surfaces positioned adjacent to each other, and an expanded configuration with the first and second side surfaces being spaced from each other. Shape retaining strips are provided adjacent to the opening that can maintain the shape of the opening. The shape retaining strips are capable of maintaining the opening of the bag such that a distance between the first and second side surfaces at the top end of the bag is about equal to the distance between the first and second side surfaces at the bottom end of the bag.

Storage bag

A container or pouch made entirely from an elastomer includes a body having a front wall and a rear wall that is connected to the front wall along a peripheral edge, and a closure system that includes a front side having a front sealing profile that includes a male closure element, and a rear side having a rear sealing profile that includes a female closure element and defining a cavity, wherein a centerline extends through the cavity. The rear side includes an inner portion that includes the entire cavity and an outer portion. A thickness of the thickened region measured in a direction parallel to the centerline is less than 35% of a total thickness of the closure system in a closed configuration measured in a direction parallel to the centerline.

A storage bag includes first and second side surfaces that form an interior of the bag with an opening to the interior. A first closure profile connected to the first side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening has a top edge and includes an interlocking member that extends between first and second sides of the first closure profile forms a lip between the interlocking member and the top edge. A second closure profile connected to the second side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening of the bag has a top edge and includes an interlocking member. A first portion of the lip of the second closure profile smoothly transitions into a third portion of the lip of the second closure profile, and the third portion of the lip of the second closure profile smoothly transitions into a second portion of the lip of the second closure profile.

Storage bag with features that facilitate sealing and unsealing of the bag

A storage bag has first and second closure profiles adjacent to an opening of the bag. The first and second closure profiles are each provided with a closure member that extends along the length of the respective closure profile, with the closure member of the first closure profile being configured to engage with the closure member of the second closure profile to form a seal for the opening of the bag. The first closure profile further includes (a) a plurality of gripping ridges that extends from the closure member to the top edge of the first closure profile, and (b) a texture that extends in an area between the closure member and the top edge of the first closure profile, with the texture extending continuously (i) in the area between the closure member and the top edge of the first closure profile, and (ii) between each gripping ridge of the plurality of gripping ridges.

A packaging device includes a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion by way of a first fold line. The first portion includes a first primary edge distal and parallel to the first fold line and the second portion includes a second primary edge distal and parallel to the first fold line. An arm is defined by two cut lines extending from a section of the second portion proximate the first fold line, and ending in a tab that extends from the second primary edge. In a folded state, the first primary edge is aligned with the second primary edge.

Packaging device

A packaging device includes a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion by way of a first fold line. The first portion includes a first primary edge opposite the first fold line. First and second secondary edges extend between the first fold line and the first primary edge, and an attachment mechanism is provided adjacent the first primary edge. The second portion includes a second primary edge opposite the first fold line. Third and fourth secondary edges extend between the first fold line and the second primary edge. An arm is defined by two cut lines extending from a section of the second portion closer to the first fold line than the second primary edge, and ending in a tab that extends beyond a distal end of the second primary edge.
