A tamper-evident peelable closure packaging system, comprising:
- a first packaging that defines an opening;
- a second packaging;
- and
- a peelable closure attachment comprising a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers comprising:
- a top layer in contact with an outside surface of the first packaging, wherein no adhesive is present in a region between the top layer and the first packaging;
- a first adhesive layer that adheres to the top layer and a middle layer;
- the middle layer, wherein the middle layer is located within the opening of the first packaging;
- and
- a second adhesive layer that adheres to the middle layer and to the second packaging.
A tamper-evident peelable closure packaging system, comprising:
- a packaging housing that defines an opening;
- a closable portion of the packaging housing that defines a packaging flap accessible through the opening of the packaging housing when the closable portion is closed;
- a peelable closure attachment comprising a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers comprising:
- a top layer in contact with an outside surface of the packaging housing, wherein no adhesive is present in a region between the top layer and the packaging housing;
- a first adhesive layer that adheres to the top layer and a middle layer;
- the middle layer, wherein the middle layer is located within the opening of the packaging housing;
- and
- a second adhesive layer that adheres to the middle layer and to the packaging flap.
A method for using a tamper-evident peelable closure packaging system, the method comprising:
- providing packaging, comprising:
- a packaging housing that defines an opening;
- a closable portion of the packaging housing that defines a packaging flap accessible through the opening of the packaging housing when the closable portion is closed;
- a peelable closure attachment comprising a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers comprising:
- a top layer in contact with an outside surface of the packaging housing, wherein no adhesive is present in a region between the top layer and the packaging housing;
- a first adhesive layer that adheres to the top layer and a middle layer;
- the middle layer, wherein the middle layer is located within the opening of the packaging housing;
- and
- a second adhesive layer that adheres to the middle layer and to the packaging flap;
- peeling the top layer away from the packaging housing, thereby causing permanent separation among the plurality of layers;
- removing a portion of the peelable closure attachment that comprises the top layer;
- and
- after removing the portion, opening the packaging.
