Abstract

A reinforced closure anchor includes a first layer having an adhesive side, an opposite non-adhesive side, and an outer edge. An anchor member layer having a reinforcing structure is disposed on the first layer. The anchor member includes an adhesive side and an opposite non-adhesive side. The anchor member adhesive side is adhered to the first layer non-adhesive side or the first layer adhesive side. The anchor member is disposed within the outer edge of the first layer. The anchor member may have a surface area that is in the range of approximately 1-2% of a surface area of the first layer, or the anchor member may have a surface area that is in the range of approximately 99-100% of a surface area of the first layer.
