Abstract
A closure arrangement includes a reclosable profile with a female profile and a male profile. The male profile has a rounded outer surface and includes a portion for attaching to the polymeric bag. The female profile includes a base also having a portion for attaching to the polymeric bag, and also has a locking member having opposite surfaces constructed and arranged to engage by friction and removably secure the male profile about its rounded outer surface. The female profile may include a break-away portion, or anti-seal portions.
