Disclosed is a reclosable child resistant package having a front panel and a back panel that are connected together at their bottom, left, and right sides. The tops of these panels have closing means preferably consisting of a projection extending from the interior surface, near the top, of the front panel and a cooperating depression in the interior surface, near the top, of the back panel. The package is closed by squeezing the tops of the two panels together, forcing the projection into the cooperating depression. Part of the child resistant feature requires that there is insufficient material above said closing means to grasp for opening the package. The package is opened by moving the front panel with respect to the back panel, as indicated. This movement causes the panels to flex removing a portion of the projection from the depression. This causes the tops of the panels to separate a sufficient amount so as to allow one to grasp the tops of the panels to pull them apart, to fully open the package. The required movement of the panels with respect to each other for package opening is the main child resistant feature. This feature is enhanced by requiring that the package be gripped in a specific location when moving these panels.
