A resealable tear-open packaging closure that provides controlled tearing, tamper evidence, and resealability while avoiding issues like unreliable tearing, leftover edges, and waste. The closure has two rows of alternating arcuate cuts that face opposite directions and are laterally staggered. The cuts are connected by overlapping free ends. This allows the package to be opened by tearing along the cuts in a predictable, controlled manner. The cuts also provide tamper evidence since they must be torn to access the contents. The closure can reseal due to the overlapping free ends.

Source

Packaging design to make it obvious when a tamper-evident seal has been removed and resealed. The packaging has openings in the surface layer that extend into the underlying material layer. When adhesive is applied to seal the package, some of it goes into the openings and bonds with the material fibers. If the seal is removed and reapplied, it tears through the material fibers, making the damage visible. This prevents concealing tampering by resealing.
