Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a closure for a reclosable package wherein the product side flanges include opposing air pockets thereby allowing a user to more easily grab the product side flanges or the package walls. In a second embodiment of the disclosure, the opposing air pockets are adjacent to the interlocking elements of the closure. In a further aspect of the disclosure, a closure includes a small sack or air or other fluid adjacent to the closure profiles. When closed, the closure creates a leak resistant configuration. By pressing the air sack, the user separates the closure profiles.
