ABSTRACT:
A method of applying a slider to a closure mechanism for a resealable package is provided. The method comprises providing a closure mechanism having first and second closure profiles, both having upper flanges and interlocking members. The method further comprises providing a slider for selectively opening and closing the closure mechanism, the slider comprising a top wall and a pair of side walls. The slider also comprises a spreader for separating the first and second closure profiles. The spreader has a channel through which the first and second upper flanges may pass as the slider is moved along the closure mechanism. The method further comprises attaching the slider to the closure mechanism while the first and second closure profiles are at least partially disengaged. The upper flanges are positioned in the channel through the spreader when the slider is applied to the closure mechanism.
