    Abstract: A hang tab assembly includes a paper outer layer and inner layer. The outer layer may include a hanging panel, a tear-away panel adjacent to the hanging panel, a first kiss-cut path on an upper surface of the outer layer, and a second kiss-cut path on a lower surface of the tear-away panel, the second kiss-cut path offset from the first. The assembly may include a first adhesive disposed on the lower surface of the tear-away panel, and a second adhesive disposed on a lower surface of the inner layer facing away from the outer layer. The outer layer may include a tear-away portion that tears transversely between offset kiss-cut paths to unseal a sealed package and expose internal paper material to provide visual indication that the package has been unsealed.

    Abstract: A package may include a sled configured to receive a product, and a sleeve configured to receive the sled through a first or second opening. The sleeve may include a top wall, a bottom wall, and first and second sidewalls, defining the first and second openings. The sleeve may include a rib extending downward from the top wall and positioned substantially parallel to an edge of the top wall proximate the first opening. The rib may engage the sled when the package is in a closed position, and in response to a force sliding the sleeve relative to the sled, the rib may deflect and produce an indication of opening or closing.
