Abstract
A fastener arrangement for use with a container having a reclosable profile includes a slider having walls forming a cavity for receiving an edge of the container. The walls are shaped to close the reclosable profile when the slider is slid in one direction. A retainer holds the walls together and also serves to open the reclosable profile when the slider is slid in the other direction.

A reclosable package comprising:
- a film having interior and exterior surfaces arranged to form a pouch;
- a reclosable profile disposed proximate to an edge of the film;
- a slider having first and second walls forming a first cavity for receiving the edge and the reclosable profile, the slider being positionable to slide along the edge in a first direction to close the reclosable profile;
- and
- a retaining member sized for location in the slider and configured and arranged to maintain the first and second walls in a position forming the first cavity and having a portion thereof that is positionable in the first cavity and shaped to open the reclosable profile when the slider is a portion thereof for location within a second cavity formed by the first and second walls to secure the retaining member in the slider;
- wherein each of the first and second walls has at least one projection for engaging the other of the first and second walls, and aligning apertures of the projections of the first and second walls form the second cavity for receiving the retaining member so that the retaining member locks the walls in interengagement.
