Abstract
A flexible pouch is provided which includes a flexible product-confining compartment that is folded upon itself. The compartment has a closure assembly adjacent to its mouth, and a wrap-around flexible flap extends above or beyond the mouth. A deadfold strip is associated with the flexible flap such that the flexible flap can wrap partially or entirely around the compartment, depending primarily upon the amount of product within the compartment, with the compartment also folded on itself in response to the amount of product within the compartment.
