close again
Explanation:
It must be "återförsluta", meaning close the package again.
Maybe it's some kind of plastic bag? Försluta simply stand for closed so also normally no air or fluid could pass.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Antje Harder: Surely a typo för "återförsluta". "Resealable" and "recloseable" are common adjectives.

agree  Tim Kynerd: I agree with Erik and Antje. But I would conjecture (lacking more context) that this is the end of a sentence that would read, in English, "...completely reclose the package."
