A reclosable package formed from a sheet having a layered structure formed on a first region of the outer surface proximate a top edge thereof, formed by a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) and a sealant coating covering the PSA. The sheet is folded about transverse fold lines and side seals are formed along the two side edges of the sheet, and a flap portion of the sheet overlaps the layered structure. Permanent seals are formed between the sealant coating of the layered structure and the flap portion. The first permanent seal has a higher bond strength than that between the sealant coating and the PSA.

1. A package for a product, comprising: a sheet having an outer surface and an opposite, product-facing inner surface, the sheet having a top edge and an opposite bottom edge each extending in a transverse direction, and two opposing side edges each extending in a perpendicular longitudinal direction, between the top and bottom edges;a layered structure formed on a discrete first region of the outer surface proximate the top edge thereof and extending substantially from one of the side edges to the other of the side edges, the layered structure comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) disposed on the first region of the sheet, and a non-tacky sealant coating disposed over and covering the PSA such that the PSA is not exposed as long as the sealant coating is in place;the sheet being folded about fold lines that extend in the transverse direction, so as to envelop the product, with the inner surface of the sheet facing the product, side seals being formed along the two opposing side edges of the sheet, and a flap portion of the sheet adjacent the bottom edge thereof overlapping the layered structure and the sealant material;sealant material disposed on the inner surface of the sheet at least along the two opposite side edges for forming the side seals, and along a first portion of the inner surface of the flap portion of the sheet;a first permanent seal between the sealant coating of the layered structure and the sealant material on the first portion of the inner surface of the flap portion of the sheet;wherein the first permanent seal has a bond strength exceeding that existing between the sealant coating and the PSA, such that peeling back the flap portion causes the sealant coating to be lifted from the PSA and thereby exposes the PSA, which can then be used for resealing the flap portion to reclose the package. 2. The package of claim 1, further comprising a sealant material disposed on a second region of the outer surface of the sheet adjacent the layered structure, and a second permanent seal between the sealant material on the second region and a second portion of the inner surface of the flap portion, whereby peeling back the flap portion requires first severing the flap portion at a location between the first and second permanent seals. 3. The package of claim 2, further comprising a tear strip formed in the flap portion of the sheet at a location between the first and second permanent seals, the tear strip being severable from the flap portion so as to detach the flap portion from the second permanent seal and allow the flap portion to be peeled back. 4. The package of claim 2, wherein the sheet comprises an outer sealant web and a seal-inhibiting material covering the outer sealant web except for the second region, such that the sealant web is exposed at the second region for forming the second permanent seal with the flap portion. 5. The package of claim 4, wherein the sheet further comprises a barrier web underlying the outer sealant web. 6. The package of claim 5, wherein the sheet further comprises an inner sealant web underlying the barrier web. 7. The package of claim 1, wherein the sealant coating comprises an emulsion of sealant composition. 8. The package of claim 7, wherein the emulsion comprises a polyethylene emulsion. 9. The package of claim 7, wherein the emulsion comprises an acrylic emulsion. 10. The package of claim 7, wherein the emulsion comprises a urethane emulsion. 11. The package of claim 7, wherein the emulsion comprises an ethylene vinyl acetate emulsion. 12. The package of claim 1, further comprising a reverse-side sealant coating disposed on the inner surface of the sheet, the reverse-side sealant coating being confined to discrete areas along the two opposite side edges and on the first portion of the flap portion, wherein the side seals and the first permanent seal are formed by the reverse-side sealant coating. 13. The package of claim 12, wherein the reverse-side sealant coating is disposed in a U-shaped configuration on the inner surface of the sheet, a base of the U-shaped configuration for forming the first permanent seal and legs of the U-shaped configuration for forming the side seals. 14. The package of claim 1, wherein a bottom of the package has a gusset. 15. The package of claim 14, further comprising the sealant coating disposed on discrete regions of the outer surface of the sheet proximate the side edges, localized to where the gusset is located, for sealing the sheet in the gusset.
