Abstract

A resealable package configured for heating in a microwave oven having at least one vent capable of relieving an internal pressure from an interior space of the package during heating. To protect the integrity of a resealable fastener, such as a zipper reclose feature, the at least one vent is capable of functioning at a low pressure below about 3.0 psi and preferably below about 1.4 psi. The at least one vent includes a specifically shaped outer portion and inner portion integrated into a package seal to allow for a controlled rupture or separation of this seal at the location of the at least one vent. This at least one vent can be formed directly into a seal of the package through a specifically shaped seal bar used during package formation.
