Do you know different zipper types for resealable packaging?

Types of zippers
Zipper bags are a popular type of flexible packaging that features a zipper closure for easy opening and closing. There are several types of zippers that can be used on resealable bags, including:
Single Track Zipper: The majority of our pouches offer the standard ZipSeal, which is a single track zipper. This press to close zipper style employs a single piece of material which protrudes from the pouch and fits directly into a track on the opposing side of the pouch.
Dual Track Zippers: Should you need something stronger, we offer a dual track zipper with two slots and two tracks for added strength. These are commonly used on large bags or when package contents are highly valuable. This is an ideal profile because it minimizes the possibility of being opened unintentionally.
Pocket Zippers: This zipper is concealed under a tear-away strip that serves as a tamper evident cover. Contents are filled from the top and sealed above the zipper so that the zipper is protected until being opened by the consumer.
Slider Zippers: Slider zippers are a more advanced type of zipper that feature a sliding mechanism that allows the user to open and close the bag with ease. They are commonly used on larger bags, such as stand-up pouches, and can be resealed multiple times.
Child-Resistant Zippers: Child-resistant zippers are a type of side zipper with a locking mechanism that makes it difficult for children to open the bag. They are commonly used on packaging for medications and other products that need to be kept out of reach of children.
Velcro zipper: Velcro zipper is can be closed without lining up the two sides perfectly thanks to two wide tracks of plastic hooks that interlock when pressed closed. This zipper style makes an audible noise as it closes, assuring the user that has been securely closed. Velcro zippers not only take less pressure to close, they easily seal through powder and debris
What pouches type can these zippers be used on?
The different types of zippers can be used on various types of pouches, including:
- Stand-up pouches:These pouches are designed to stand upright on store shelves, making them ideal for packaging products such as snacks, pet food, and coffee. Stand-up pouches can be used with slider zippers, double-zipper zippers, and child-resistant zippers.
- Flat pouches: These pouches are designed to lie flat, making them ideal for packaging products such as dried fruits, nuts, and spices. Flat pouches can be used with slider zippers, double-zipper zippers, and tear-notch zippers.
- Side-gusseted pouches:These pouches have gussets on the sides that allow them to expand, making them ideal for packaging products such as coffee, tea, and pet food. Side-gusseted pouches can be used with slider zippers, double-zipper zippers, and child-resistant zippers.
- Three-side seal pouches:These pouches have three sealed sides and one open side, making them ideal for packaging products such as powders, liquids, and granules. Three-side seal pouches can be used with press-to-close zippers and tear-notch zippers.
The choice of zipper type and pouch type will depend on the specific needs of the product and the preferences of the manufacturer and consumer. Different types of zippers can be used on different types of pouches to provide a convenient and secure closure for the product.
