SealTab® Technology
Bag Your Chip Clip
Many of us have experienced the frantic search for a chip clip, or a chip-clip substitute, after snacking on an open a bag of chips, cookies or crackers. From hair pins and rubber bands to duct tape and paper clips, we’ve used it all – even going so far as to weigh down chip bags with rocks or shoes – anything to keep from spilling the product or letting it go stale.
With SealTab technology, packages are opened from the top, like normal. When the consumer is finished eating, the top of the bag can be rolled down and secured with the integrated SealTab flap, which is pulled out from the front panel of the package and features a resealable adhesive.Integrated application
