A closure arrangement for use with a flexible package includes a first closure mechanism, a slider device, and a second closure mechanism. The first closure mechanism includes selectively engageable first and second profiles. The slider device has a housing operably mounted on the first closure mechanism. The slider housing is constructed and arranged to engage and disengage the first and second profiles. The slider housing defines a first cavity that slidably receives said first and second profiles. The second closure mechanism includes selectively engageable third and fourth profiles. The second closure mechanism is adjacent to the first closure mechanism but is completely outside of the first cavity. The second closure mechanism may be either a single pair of interlocking hooks, or may be multiple members. The slider device includes a plow with a non-rectangular cross-section, such as a polygon, a racetrack, or a circle. The plow may also include shoulders to help retain the slider device on the first closure mechanism.

1. A closure arrangement for use with a flexible package, the closure arrangement comprising:(a) a first closure mechanism including selectively engageable first and second profiles; (b) a slider device having a housing operably mounted on the first closure mechanism; the slider housing being constructed and arranged to engage and disengage the first and second profiles, the slider housing defining a first cavity that slidably receives said first and second profiles, and the slider housing includes a top wall, first and second sidewalls depending from the top wall, and a plow depending from the top wall for selectively disengaging at least the first and second profiles; and c) a second closure mechanism including selectively engageable third and fourth profiles, the second closure mechanism being adjacent to the first closure mechanism and outside of the first cavity.
