Abstract

A closure arrangement for a polymeric bag having a pair of opposing films, comprises a plurality of base strips and a breakaway strip. First and optional second base strips are generally parallel to each other, substantially co-planar with each other, and laterally spaced from each other. The outer surface of each of the first and second base strips is adapted for attachment to one of the pair of opposing films. A third base strip opposes a flange portion of the first base strip. An outer surface of the third base strip is adapted for attachment to the other of the pair of opposing films. The flange portion and the third base strip have respective interlocking closure profiles attached thereto so that the bag is reclosable. The breakaway strip is disposed generally parallel to and substantially co-planar with the first and second base strips. The breakaway strip is disposed below the first and above the optional second base strips such that an upper side of the breakaway strip is detachably connected to the first base strip to form a first breakaway seal and an opposing lower side of the breakaway strip is optionally detachably connected to the second base strip to form a second breakaway seal. The inner surface of the breakaway strip is adapted for attachment to the other of the pair of opposing films.
