Abstract
A tamper proof label and closure construction includes a coded label section with a passage for reclosing a bag and further includes a closure section which may be wrapped around gathered package material and sealed. Removal of the sealed closure section will indicate tampering or intentional opening of the closed, sealed bag.

A tamper proof package label and closure construction comprising, in combination:
- a generally flat planar, plastic plate member, said plate member including a bag closure section and a separate, connected label section, said sections being formed from a single sheet of plastic material, said closure section comprising an elongate tab extending from a free end to an intermediate boundary where said closure section is joined to the label section, said closure section being plastically deformable for folding thereof around and closure of gathered packaging material by folded over joinder of the closure section;
- and
- said separate label section comprising an extension from the closure section, said intermediate boundary comprising a separable seam for separating the label section from the closure section, said label section including a peripheral margin, and a slit in the margin connected to an opening in the label section to thereby define a means for gathering and retaining gathered packaging material.
A tamper proof package label and closure construction comprising, in combination:
- a generally flat planar, plastic plate member, said plate member including a bag closure section and a separate connected label section, said closure section comprising an elongate tab extending from a free end to an intermediate boundary wherein said closure section is joined to the label section, said closure section being plastically deformable for folding thereof around and closure of gathered packaging material by folded over joinder of the closure section, said label section comprising an extension from the closure section, said intermediate boundary separating the sections, said label section including a peripheral margin with a slot connected to an opening in the label section to provide a means for gathering and retaining gathered packaging material;
- said closure section further including a seam intermediate the free end and the intermediate boundary for separating the closure section to effect removal thereof from gathered packaging material.
A tamper proof package label and closure construction comprising, in combination:
- a generally flat planar, plastic plate member, said plate member including a bag closure section and a separate connected label section, said closure section comprising an elongate tab extending from a free end to an intermediate boundary wherein said closure section is joined to the label section, said closure section being plastically deformable for folding thereof around and closure of gathered packaging material by folded over joinder of the closure section, said label section comprising an extension from the closure section, said intermediate boundary separating the sections, said label section including a peripheral margin with a slot connected to an opening in the label section to provide a means for gathering and retaining gathered packaging material;
- said construction further including an adhesive for joining the closure section upon folded over joinder.
A tamper proof package label and closure construction comprising, in combination:
- a generally flat planar plastic plate member, said plate member including a bag closure section and a separate, connected integral label section, said closure section comprising an elongate tab extending from a free end to an intermediate boundary where said closure section is joined to the label section, said closure section plastically deformable for folding thereof around and closure of gathered packaging material by folded over joinder of the closure section;
- and said separate label section comprising an extension from the closure section whereby the intermediate boundary separates the label section from the closure section, said label section including a peripheral margin, said label section also including an opening and a slit connected to the opening from the margin to define a means for gathering and retaining gathered packaging material, said closure section and label section each being generally rectangular and formed together from a single sheet of plastic material and said intermediate boundary comprising a separable seam for separating the label section from the closure section whereby said label section comprises a separate closure member.
A tamper proof package label and closure construction comprising, in combination:
- a generally flat planar plastic plate member, said plate member including a bag closure section and a separate, connected integral label section, said closure section comprising an elongate tab extending from a free end to an intermediate boundary where said closure section is joined to the label section, said closure section plastically deformable for folding thereof around and closure of gathered packaging material by folded over joinder of the closure section;
- and said separate label section comprising an extension from the closure section whereby the intermediate boundary separates the label section from the closure section, said label section including a peripheral margin, said label section also including an opening and a slit connected to the opening from the margin to define a means for gathering and retaining gathered packaging material, said closure section including a seam intermediate the free end and intermediate boundary for separating the closure section to effect removal thereof from gathered packaging material.
