Abstract

L'invention a trait à un emballage refermable (10) qui contient de manière hermétique un produit (50), et permet audit produit d'être soumis à une opération de stérilisation pour qu'il soit cuit alors qu'il se trouve encore dans l'emballage. L'emballage refermable, qui est constitué d'un film polypropylène, comporte une fermeture à glissière (26) possédant une paire de profils de fermeture correspondants (28, 30), lesquels sont constitués d'un matériau polypropylène. Le profil de fermeture mâle ou le profil de fermeture femelle comporte un rabat de fermeture (48) possédant une couche de matériau d'étanchéité (46), de façon que le rabat de fermeture fournisse un sceau hermétique à l'emballage, en dessous de l'endroit où interagissent les profils de fermeture. Ledit sceau hermétique empêche le produit de migrer à travers l'élément de profil pendant l'opération de stérilisation et avant la première ouverture de l'emballage.
