Resealable Closure for Product Bags

Closures for Various Bag Styles including Doy Style Stand-up Pouches

Resealable Zip Bags for Extended Product Freshness

Pillow-BlockillustratThe ability to re-close/reseal a bag, via the addition of a zip closure, is important for a wide range of products, particularly where extended life/freshness is a necessity, such as in food packaging.

Line Equipment developed the LE-ZA Zip Applicator to add resealable closures/zippers to bags on either VFFS machines or HFFS Machines.

Closures are most popular on stand-up pouches such as Doy style, Quad and Block Bottom but can be applied to other bag styles, including pillow, 3 or 4 Sided Seal and Thermoform Pouches.
