Ziploc

Ziploc is a brand of resealable, reusable storage bags and containers manufactured by S.C. Johnson & Son. The bags are characterized by their interlocking zipper-like seal at the top, which can be opened and closed repeatedly to maintain the freshness of the contents.

The Ziploc brand is widely recognized for its use in storing food items, both in the refrigerator and freezer, as well as for general household storage of non-food items. The bags are available in various sizes and thicknesses, catering to diverse storage needs. Some Ziploc bags are specifically designed for freezer storage, featuring thicker plastic and reinforced seals to prevent freezer burn.

The core product is the Ziploc bag, constructed from polyethylene plastic. The seal mechanism involves two interlocking plastic strips that press together to create an airtight closure. The Ziploc brand has expanded to include containers made of rigid plastic with similar resealable lids.

The term "Ziploc" is often used generically to refer to any resealable plastic bag, regardless of the actual brand. This widespread usage reflects the brand's dominance and recognition in the resealable bag market. The brand has also expanded to include products beyond bags, such as reusable containers with snap-tight lids. The Ziploc brand plays a significant role in modern food storage and household organization.
