Abstract
A resealable bag is provided. The bag may include a resealable closure configured to make it difficult for a child to open the bag. The resealable closure may be disposed on a pair of flanges attached to an interior of the bag. In some embodiments, a user may need to grasp the flanges near the resealable closure in order to open the bag. This may provide a user an advantage when trying to prevent children from accessing the contents of the bag.
