A reclosable, hermetically-sealed flexible package which has an inner, hermetic peelable seal and a reclosure seal, typically including interlocking closure strips, is provided with one or more of various tamper-evident features which provide an easily visible and noticeable indication of disruption thereof of the type that would gain access to the reclosure seal.

Tamper-evident, flexible, reclosable package

A flexible, bag-like package which includes an access opening containing a reclosable seal at or near its top edge, is encompassed by a tamper-evident band. The band is bonded to the front and back wall panels of the package and extends across the access opening. Attempts to remove the band in order to open the package will result in disruption of the band or the wall panels.

An apparatus and method are provided for assembling composite labels including a label or a seal at least partially covering a ribbon segment. A stream of ribbon segments are severed from a length of ribbon, are spaced from each other, and are transported to a location at which they are positioned at least partially under a seal or label and onto a moving web of backing material in order to form the composite product.
