Zip-Pak Introduces New Double Zipper

Applications for the Double Zipper include deli meats, prepared foods with sauces, shredded or sliced cheese and frozen foods.

19/10/2007 Zip-Pak, the global leader in resealable packaging innovations, introduces ZIP-PAK Double Zipper, the newest member of the ZIP-PAK Press-to-Close family of resealable packaging technologies. The Double Zipper ensures complete bag closure and provides added seal security to lock out air and keep foods fresh.

The Double Zipper is ergonomically designed; featuring two sets of interlocking profiles strategically spaced to guide consumers’ fingers along a path when closing a package. As a result, the closure mechanism is more easily aligned, providing a complete seal each time the product is used. The dual profiles also provide enhanced seal strength, preventing liquids from leaking onto refrigerator shelves.

Applications for the Double Zipper include deli meats, prepared foods with sauces, shredded or sliced cheese and frozen foods. The new technology can be incorporated into a variety of package styles from stand-up pouches to lay-flat bags.

For most applications, Zip-Pak can provide the Double Zipper as a direct replacement for a single-profile press-to-close. Zip-Pak Systems (Atlanta), the Company’s equipment division, produces retrofit technology, enabling existing equipment to accommodate resealable packaging.
