Metallised bags: areas of application
Metallised zip-lock bags are the perfect blend of practicality and style. The attractive metallic sheen gives the product an appealing look, whilst the zip-lock allows the bag to be opened and closed repeatedly. The metallised material is puncture-resistant and impervious to moisture and UV light, reliably protecting the contents from these elements. The surface is ideal for applying self-adhesive labels and promotional information. High barrier properties combined with a convenient zip-lock allow the product to be stored for longer without affecting its smell or taste.
Advantages of using metallised zip-lock bags
Metallised packaging is gas-impermeable, and models with a zip-lock fastening ensure an airtight seal. The lock itself consists of two sections of plastic tape that lock firmly together. This prevents loose products from becoming damp and liquids from spilling, even if the customer has already started using the product. Zip-lock bags are the ideal way to store and transport strongly scented goods, ‘trapping’ the aroma inside.
For greater practicality, manufacturers use doypack bags – a metallised, multi-seam (up to 5) type of packaging with a base. Products in doypacks are easy to display on a shelf, and then on a kitchen shelf or in the bathroom. Their light weight and flexibility help reduce transport costs, whilst the colourful design attracts shoppers’ attention.
Uses of zip-lock bags
The properties and features of metallised bags with a reusable zip-lock seal dictate their scope of application. The packaging is ideal for packaging:
- liquids (juices, dairy products);
- paste-like products (jams, sauces, sour cream);
- bulk products (ground coffee, spices);
- dried fruit, crisps and nuts, confectionery;
- detergents and cosmetics (cream, liquid soap);
- household cleaning products;
- pet products (litter, food);
- semi-finished products (soup mixes).
Durability, compactness, a range of protective features, a design that appeals to shoppers, a wide selection of sizes and volumes, as well as ease of filling continue to expand the scope of application for metallised zip-lock bags.
