Abstract
An elongate resealable closure mechanism that includes a first base member and a second base member. Each of the first and second base members extends longitudinally between opposite ends thereof. First and second parallel spaced apart pairs of opposing interlocking members extend longitudinally between opposite ends and project from opposing interior surfaces of the first and second base members. The first and second parallel spaced pairs of opposing interlocking members have a constant profile between the opposite ends. A plurality of partial indentations extends longitudinally along an exterior surface of the first base member between the first and second pairs of opposing interlocking members.
