Abstract
A packaging structure formed of flexible polymeric material is disclosed. A resealable seal is provided to permit opening and reclosing of the package to permit multiple time access to the contents of the package. A tamper-evident indicator is provided in association with the resealable seal to indicate whether or not undesired access to the contents has been had. The tamper-evident indicator comprises a permanent heat seal spaced from the resealable seal and a tear strip between the two seals. When the tear strip is present, the permanent seal maintains the structure closed while removal of the tear strip permits opening of the resealable seal.
