摘要

A resealable package integrity closure (11) includes a film layer (13) forming a top of container (10) and having a flap (22) defining an access opening to gain access to the contents of the container. A sealing panel (26) completely covers the flap of the film layer. A releasable adhesive (27) is provided on either or both the film layer (13) and the sealing panel (26) for adhering the sealing panel to the film layer. The sealing panel is releasable from the film layer by pulling the sealing panel back in a peeling direction and reclosable against the top to seal the access opening when the sealing panel is moved back against the top. A coating of transferable material (28) is provided on either the sealing panel (26) or on the film layer, which is transferable therebetween, respectively, when the sealing panel is pulled back from the film layer for a first time to provide a visual indication that the closure has been previously opened.
