It has a zip-lock feature for reclosability.  Since it is a stand-up pouch, it should stand up, which helps for storage, and perhaps even transportation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/packagerepublic.com\/files\/rice\/tear200.png\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"10\" width=\"200\" align=\"left\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite our great initial liking for the package, upon package usability testing, we did find a number of issues.  Openability was really the show-stopper for us.  The material that is used does not want to tear in the direction of opening.  <\/p>\n<p>Also, we noticed that the lot number print is on the piece that is thrown away after opening.  In case there is a safety issue with the food, once it is opened and the piece is discarded, there is no way to identify the lot.  With seemingly increasing food recalls, this can be an issue.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/MkMB_T1SrLQ&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/MkMB_T1SrLQ&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" height=\".5in\"><span style=\"color: black;\">Our Panel:<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: black;\">Your Rating:<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table style=\"background-color: #736f6e; border-color: #FFCC00\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\" >\n<tr>\n<td> <font color=\"white\">Opening<\/font> <\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/packagerepublic.com\/files\/star\/1.png\" alt=\"Star\" width=\"40\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"0\" \/> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> <font color=\"white\">Accessing<\/font> <\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/packagerepublic.com\/files\/star\/3.png\" alt=\"Star\" width=\"40\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"0\" \/> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> <font color=\"white\">Closing<\/font> <\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/packagerepublic.com\/files\/star\/2.5.png\" alt=\"Star\" width=\"40\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"0\" \/> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> <font color=\"white\">Handling<\/font> <\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/packagerepublic.com\/files\/star\/2.5.png\" alt=\"Star\" width=\"40\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"0\" \/> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> <font color=\"white\">Overall<\/font> <\/td>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/packagerepublic.com\/files\/star\/2.5.png\" alt=\"Star\" width=\"80\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"0\" \/> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"5\">[starratingmulti id=8 tpl=12]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This package initially looked near perfect for its purpose.
