Abstract

A multi-closure strip of generally flat, semirigid plastic closures which are jointed by sets of transversely spaced connecting material in which the connecting material is formed between smoothly rounded protrusions, each having an apex and a wider base. The connecting mateial is along a line generaly parallel or at a slight angle to the longitudinal axis of the multi-closure strip. A gap is provided between the transversely spaced sets of closure material so that, by the application of a lateral force, the connecting material is separated in tension as one closure moves laterally relative to the other.
