Description:

Packaging studies all over the world have shown that consumers want packages that are easy to open and easy to reclose. A package that is easy to reclose protects the product's freshness until completely consumed. Also a package that has a clearly marked consume-by-date, offers extra protection to the consumer about the product's freshness.

Kwik Lok Corporation has been manufacturing for over half a century the popular and patented KWIK LOK all-plastic bag closure that offers the consumer a truly convenient package which is easy to open and equally easy to reclose. The plastic bag and Kwik Lok are a natural combination that meets this critical packaging requirement. When product freshness is critical, Kwik Lok protects it throughout the consumption cycle. Some of the products that the KWIK LOK closures are used are:

• Bakery products, such as bread, rolls, pitas etc.
