Zipr Shift has invented a new packaging zipper track that is much more durable than the current packaging zipper track. It will allow for much heavier items to be placed in resealable packages.
The strength comes from the internal metal clips that provide rigidity and from the flanges that grip and hold onto one another when interlocked.
You might be wondering what type of object could benefit from a heavy duty closure.
The current zip track is capable of forming bags and packages that hold up to 20lbs. So, the Zipr Shift packaging closure is for anything that weighs more than 20 lbs.
Pet Food & Other Heavy Consumer Products
It’s cheaper to buy in bulk. And, sometimes bulk means over 20 lbs of food.
You could buy a whole new container in order to keep the food fresh and easy to pour or you could have a Zipr Shift zipper on the heavy bag and just unzip it a little in order to pour out the food as happens now with less heavy pet food packages utilizing the current zip track.
Oh, and don’t forget having to wash the containers once they get all dirty from the pet food. With a heavier zipper to reseal the pet food package, you could just throw it away after use.
Save money on plastic containers. Save time on household chores.
Pay only for the food and the bag that it comes in.
Storage and Transport of Industrial Supplies
A multitude of industries use what are called flexible intermediate bulk containers, super sacks, or bulk bags.
