Closure system for pouch or container

A container or pouch made entirely from an elastomer, comprising:

• a body, comprising:
• a front wall;
• and
• a rear wall that is connected to the front wall along a peripheral edge;
• and
• a closure system, comprising:
• a front side having a male closure profile that includes a male closure element;
• and
• a rear side having a female closure profile that includes a female closure element and defining a cavity,
• wherein a centerline extends through the cavity such that the female closure element is symmetrical about the centerline,
• wherein the male closure element includes a head portion that has a continuous, primary profile and a non-continuous, secondary profile that extends from the primary profile, and
• wherein a height of the secondary profile measured in a direction that is perpendicular to the centerline is greater than a height of the cavity measured in a direction that is perpendicular to the centerline.

• and
• a closure system, comprising:
• a front side having a male closure profile that includes a male closure element;
• and
• a rear side having a female closure profile that includes a female closure element and defining a cavity and an opening,
• wherein a longitudinal plane extends through the peripheral edge and a centerline extends through the cavity and the opening such that the female closure element is symmetrical about the centerline,
• wherein the male closure element includes a head portion that has a continuous, primary profile that defines thin regions of the male closure element and a non-continuous, secondary profile that extends from the primary profile and defines oversized regions of the male closure element,
• wherein a length of a single thin region is measured in a direction parallel to the longitudinal plane and is between 1% and 10% of a length of the male closure element measured in a direction parallel to the longitudinal plane,
• wherein a length of a single oversized region of the male closure element is measured in a direction parallel to the longitudinal plane and is between 1% and 10% of the length of the male closure element, and
• wherein a height of the secondary profile measured in a direction perpendicular to the centerline is greater than a height of the cavity measured in a direction perpendicular to the centerline.
