Storage bag with dimple features

A storage bag comprising:

• a first side surface;
• a second side surface connected to the first side surface so as to form an interior of the bag with an opening to the interior;
• a first closure profile connected to the first side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening of the bag, the first closure profile including an interlocking member that extends along the length of the first closure profile between a first side of the first closure profile and a second side of the first closure profile, the first closure profile further including a plurality of alignment structures provided adjacent to the interlocking member, the plurality of alignment structures being formed as ridge surfaces on the side of the first closure profile facing the interior of the bag and groove surfaces on the side of the first closure profile on the outside of the bag;
• and
• a second closure profile connected to the second side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening of the bag, the second closure profile including an interlocking member that extends along at least the length of the first closure profile between a first side of the first closure profile and a second side of the first closure profile, the interlocking member being configured to interlock with the interlocking member of the first closure profile to form a seal for the opening of the bag, the second closure profile further including a plurality of alignment structures provided adjacent to the interlocking member, the plurality of alignment structures being formed as groove surfaces on the side of the second closure profile facing the interior of the bag and ridge surfaces on the side of the second closure profile on the outside of the bag,
• wherein a respective alignment structure of the first alignment structures on the first closure profile is aligned opposite to a corresponding alignment structure of the second alignment structures on the second closure profile, and the ridge surfaces of the alignment structures of the first alignment structures on the first closure profile engage with the groove surfaces of the alignment structures of the second closure profile, such that the engaging of the first alignment structures with the second alignment structures provides at least one of a visual indication and a tactile sensation, when the interlocking member of the first closure profile is interlocked with the interlocking member of the second closure profile.

• and
• a second closure profile connected to the second side surface and positioned adjacent to the opening of the bag, the second closure profile including an interlocking member that extends along at least the length of the second closure profile between a first side of the second closure profile and a second side of the second closure profile, the interlocking member being configured to interlock with the interlocking member of the first closure profile to form a seal for the opening of the bag, the second closure profile further including a plurality of dimples provided adjacent to the interlocking member, each of the dimples of the second closure profile being formed as a convex surface on the side of the first closure profile facing the interior of the bag and a concave surface on the side of the second closure profile on the outside of the bag,
• wherein the dimples on the first closure profile are offset from the dimples on the second closure profile, such that the dimples on the first and second closure profiles provide at least one of a visual indication and a tactile sensation, when the interlocking member of the first closure profile is interlocked with the interlocking member of the second closure profile.
