ABSTRACT:
A gripper ridge for use on a flexible package includes first and second walls normal to the flexible package with first and second extended ends and an end surface between the first and second extended ends. The end surface and first extended end are arranged to provide enhanced gripping friction perceptible to touch. The length of the first wall is greater than the length of the second wall, such that the end surface is angled. In one implementation, the end surface and first extended end form a rounded surface therebetween. One embodiment includes a flexible package with one or more gripper ridges attached to the interior of the flexible package. In other embodiments, one or more gripper ridges are attached to the exterior of the flexible package. A die for making a gripper ridge and methods for making a gripper ridge are also described.
