A multi-layer film and a film package made from the film are described herein that provide resealing capabilities by utilizing a tacky layer within the multi-layer film. The multi-layer film can include an outer film portion including the embedded tacky layer and an inner film portion. An opening feature formed in the multi-layer film includes a flap configured to be manipulated by a user to create an opening through the multi-layer film. The inner film portion can include a release layer configured specifically to interact with the tacky layer to provide a desired separation peel force and resealing functionalities. The outer film portion can include an outer film layer disposed on an opposite side of the tacky layer from the release layer that is configured to permanently adhere to the tacky layer.

Multi-layer film and reclosable film package

Packaging

A flexible laminate suitable for forming a package () having a reclosable flap () is provided that includes pressure sensitive adhesive () extending in a periphery region past a reseal margin () for the flap () and on an opposite side therefrom for joining an outer and inner layer () of the laminate together, whether directly or indirectly. The pressure sensitive adhesive () can overlie a permanent adhesive () in the periphery region, or directly join the outer and inner layers of the laminate together. The use of pressure sensitive adhesive () in the region can reduce the tight registration needed for cutting the outer layer () to define an outward layer of the flap (), thereby reducing the chances for cutting into a portion of the outer layer () joined only by permanent adhesive () to the inner layer ().
