Abstract

A reclosable tamper-evident package is opened and closed repeatedly by moving a slider device with a clip in a first, inoperative position that interlocks a first closure of the package. When it is desired to close the package and provide an indication of further opening, the clip is moved to a second, operative position, so that motion of the slider also interlocks a second closure that cannot be opened without providing an indication. A slider device includes a top wall, first and second sidewalls, and a clip moveable from an inoperative position to an operative position. A closure assembly includes a zipper with the slider device. A method of using a package includes grasping a slider device and pushing a clip down to engage the clip against a portion of a zipper closure arrangement, and then moving the slider device in a first direction while the clip squeezes the portion of the zipper closure arrangement to close the mouth.
