4 Types of Zippers for Flexible Packaging Bags

Discover the four must‑know zipper types for flexible packaging—classic lock‑seal, easy‑access side zippers, child‑resistant safety locks, and Velcro convenience. Learn how each boosts freshness, safety, and consumer appeal.

 

 

 

A wide variety of  zippers are available in the field of  flexible packaging, each serving a distinct set of purposes and applications to meet the demands of various markets and customers. From press-to-close zippers to slider zippers, companies can choose from a range of options to provide convenience and functionality to consumers. 

 

 

First,the most popular and adaptable type of plastic zipper is the conventional one. It is commonly used in home food storage and is made of materials like polypropylene (PP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Its straightforward interlocking teeth provide a dependable seal, shielding the contents from moisture and air, whether it's being used to store sliced fruits. 

 

Second,side zippers offer a different advantage. They are especially helpful for packing things that are hard to put in or take out of a conventional top-opening bag.Perfect for bulk foods like granola, coffee beans, or nuts, side zippers enable quick and easy resealing to maintain crunch and scent.

 

 

Third,child-resistant zippers  have a proprietary press-to-close locking mechanism, thick, food-grade plastic for added durability, and larger but manageable tabs. Their smooth-running zippers are made to demand coordinated two-hand dexterity; children find it nearly impossible to open and reseal them, while adults can do so with ease. Child-resistant zippers are more than just a packing accessory; they offer a crucial poison-protection barrier to keep kids from consuming harmful chemicals.

 

 

 

Fourth,velcro zippers are widely used in the packaging of things that need to be accessed frequently because of their easy-to-open and quick-to-close capabilities. For instance, the wide Velcro opening on powder‑sealing pouches allows consumers to swiftly dispense their favorite protein or supplement powders without any mess.  Similarly, our bath‑salt pouches equipped with Velcro strips let consumers pour just the right amount of product and reseal in seconds, locking in fragrance and moisture.  If you are interested in this new zipper pouch,  contact us today for free samples and quotes.
