Zip-Pak, the global leader in resealable packaging innovations, introduces the new ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ for large format bags, the first slider zipper that adds convenience to large format bags, yet requires no alteration to the package design or construction.

The new slider enables a resealable closure on laminate and multi-wall paper bags, which are popular choices for large format applications such as pet food, bulk wild bird seed and potting soil. Currently the only slider system available for woven pouches, the ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ for large format bags makes the addition of consumer-preferred resealable closures an option for a variety of package styles and applications.

The technology is available for packages up to 55 pounds, providing the same consumer experience and seal integrity for any pouch size throughout each use.  Zip-Pak Systems, the company’s equipment division, provides unique consulting capabilities to ensure that packages pass all fitness for use tests.

Besides enhancing convenience, the new ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ for large format bags eliminates the need for consumers to transfer package contents into separate storage containers to keep them fresh and well-contained.  Brand owners benefit from packaging that stays in front of the consumer throughout use, maximizing marketing impact.

“The introduction of the newest member of the ZIP-PAK® SLIDER™ family of technologies underscores Zip-Pak’s commitment to developing new innovations that help brand owners add value beyond the product itself,” said Art Bucci, sales manager for Zip-Pak.  “This technology was developed to help make strong brands even stronger.”

Ideal for pet, bird feed, and lawn and garden applications, the slider is ergonomically designed to easily glide the package open and closed forconsumers of all ages.
