A tamper-evident package utilizes a transparent resealable adhesive structure such as a tape or a label to cover the closure opening. Upon a first opening of the package frangible portions of the package front between adjacent arcuate cuts and slits defining the opening are torn. This tearing distorts the packaging film so that re-registration of the opposing lateral edges upon reclosing is not possible. This results in a package which is visually tamper-evident. The tamper-evident condition can be enhanced by graphics or other printing on the front of the package in the area of the closure to make the misalignment of a resealed closure viewed through the transparent structure more visually apparent. In one embodiment of the invention a series of arcuate cuts are centered laterally and are flanked on the right and left sides by two continuous wavy slits which form a portion of the closure opening.

A package has a first side coupled to a second side to form a space for storing material therebetween, the space having a re-sealable proximal end and a distal end. The first side has a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers having four layers selected from the group consisting of selected from the group consisting of OPP (oriented polypropylene film), KRAFT paper, VMPET (vacuum metallized polyester film), PE (polyethylene plastic), and PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

Described herein is a life vest pouch for storage under an aircraft seat. The life vest pouch includes a closeable first opening for inserting a life vest into the pouch and a breakable seam for creating a second opening and permitting removal of a life vest from the pouch. Also described is an airline seat and row of airline seats comprising the life vest pouch.

A bag has a bag body that defines an interior and opening. A reclosable closure is configured for repeatably and nondestructively closing and opening the opening. A covering flap is connected to the bag body, extends away from the bag opening, and has a zone of weakness. The covering flap can be attached to the bag body while covering the closure. To access the closure, the covering flap is torn along its zone of weakness. The bag can also have a removable panel, which can be attached to the removable panels of other bags to form a header pack. The bag body and covering flap can be removed from the header pack by being torn along another zone of weakness between the covering flap and removable panel that has a lower tear strength that the zone of weakness of the covering flap.

A tamperproof bag includes a base, a pair of opposing end walls, and a pair of opposing sidewalls extending upwardly from the base to form an open upper end, defining an interior volume. Each end wall includes a height greater than a height of each sidewall, allowing for easier handling. An adhesive strip is disposed on an interior-facing surface of at least one end wall. The adhesive strip is configured to secure the end walls together to form a sealed closure and prevent access to the interior volume. Separation of the pair of end walls once adhered forms a tear in the bag, which may identify that an unauthorized access attempt to the bag has been made and prevents reclosure of the bag. A tab connected to a perforated strip that aligns with the adhesive strip provides a mechanism for accessing the interior of the bag.

A package has a first side coupled to a second side to form a space for storing material therebetween, the space having a re-sealable proximal end and a distal end. The first side has a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers selected from the group consisting of selected from the group consisting of OPP (oriented polypropylene film), KRAFT paper, VMPET (vacuum metallized polyester film), PE (polyethylene plastic), and PET (polyethylene terephthalate). The re-sealable proximal end has a tear strip and a zipper engagement, the zipper engagement distal of the tear strip. The tear strip is configured to be torn off to expose the zipper engagement. The zipper engagement is re-sealable.
