Abstract
A flexible package includes a closure arrangement having first and second closure members. Each of the first and second closure members has a pull tab extending from a respective flange. The pull tabs are constructed and arranged to selectively disengage the first and second closure members and provide access to an interior of the flexible package. Each of the pull tabs is movable between a resting position, where the tab is lying against its respective flange, and a working position, where the tab is spaced from its respective flange. Methods for constructing and using a flexible package are provided herein.
