Magnetic locking reclosure for packages and methods of making the same

Abstract

A resealable package, the resealable package comprising a polymeric substrate, the polymeric substrate comprising a first side panel, a second side panel, a closed bottom and an opening, the opening comprising a first side region and a second side region and the first side region and the second side region comprise a magnetizable composition, the magnetizable composition comprises a thermoplastic polymer and magnetizable particles and the magnetizable composition is aligned and magnetized to form a first magnet along the first side region and a second magnet along the second side region. The first magnet comprises a plurality of poles having a first leading edge comprising a first pole and the second magnet comprises a plurality of poles having a second leading edge comprising a second pole that is opposite to the first pole.
