Abstract
The disclosure relates to a gusseted reclosable package with an internal unisex reclosure strip. The reclosure strip has upper and lower flanges, and a two or three-point connection, rather than a four-point connection, to the interior circumference of the package. This results in the package having a higher internal (product side) opening strength than the external (consumer side) opening strength, thereby allowing the package to be easily opened by the consumer while maintaining a high burst strength.
