Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about a package that can be resealed to store food. It consists of two sheets of plastic film that are permanently joined together along three edges to form a cavity. The film sheets are sealed along one edge using a zipper arrangement. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a convenient and efficient way to reseal a package of food articles, which can be reused or recycled."

Problems solved by technology

However, the use of currently available reclosable packages for storing food articles has certain disadvantages.
The reclosable packages are usually of a large size, and accordingly results in wastage of the package while being utilized for storing a lesser quantity of the food articles.
Further, the large sized reclosable package occupies more space in a refrigerator or a freezer.
Moreover, because of the large size of the reclosable packages, the zipper arrangement of the reclosable packages becomes ineffective after a short time, and as such the food articles stored in the reclosable packages become stale and lose their nutritional value.
