  • the package 100 of Figure 1 is meant to be illustrative and is representative of many different possible embodiments.
  • Package 100 includes first (front) and second (rear) walls 102, 104 which are co-extensive with each other and are sealed together by bottom seal 106 and side seals 108, 1 10, which may include thermal, ultrasonic, adhesive or similar seals.

  • first profile 12 includes first base 16 from which first and second arms 18, 20 extend thereby forming an internal zipper volume 22 therebetween.
  • First and second arms 18, 20 further terminate in respective first and second distal hooks 24, 26 thereby forming an interlocking female element 28.
  • Second profile 14 includes second base 30 with a post 32 extending therefrom, terminating in an arrowhead- shaped element 34 thereby forming an interlocking male element 36 for engagement with the interlocking female element 28.
  • fragrance-carrying oil 40 is placed within internal zipper volume 22 in first profile 12 near the juncture of first base 16 and first and second arms 18, 20.

  • the fragrance would be expected to last for an extended period.
  • the fragrance-carrying oil 40 could be applied on a single zipper 10 wherein the intention could be to modify the smell of the packed product or to release the fragrance externally to increase the appeal of the product before the consumer opened the zipper 10.
  • the fragrance-carrying oil 40 and therefore the scent, is therefore contained within internal zipper volume 22.
  • the scent remains covered until the package 100 is opened by separating the first and second profiles 12, 14 of the zipper 10 (and may be re-covered by closing the package).
  • the resulting advantages include that the scent is used more economically in that the zipper 10, rather than the entire package 100, is scented. Similarly, the shelf-life of the scent is preserved. The consumer is exposed to the scent only when the package 10 is open, and is isolated from the scent when the package 100 is closed.
  • Figure 3 illustrates an embodiment wherein first profile 12 includes first and second extending detent arms 42, 44 (terminating in respective first and second detent hooks 43, 45) and second profile 14 includes third and fourth extending detent arms 46, 48 (terminating in respective third and fourth detent hooks 47, 49).
