Product description
- Film produced in our own facilities
- Slider zipper; opens and closes repeatedly
- Flexo printing, up to eight colours
- Bottom gusset and hang hole optional
Zipper bags are polyethylene packaging with a slider zipper at the mouth, designed to be opened and closed repeatedly. The slider runs along the zipper track to open and close the pack. This keeps the pack closed throughout shipping and lets the recipient reseal it after reaching the product.
Production
DEKA Plastik is a manufacturer producing zipper bags in its own facilities. The film is extruded in our own facilities; we do not buy film in. The zipper component is sourced, and its integration into the bag is done in our own plant. The material is MDPE and LDPE.
Zipper or press-lock?
The two products are often confused, and the difference is in the closure. A zipper bag has a separate slider part; the pack is opened and closed by running that slider. A press-lock bag has no slider: the mouth is sealed by pressing it with your fingers until the interlocking ribs engage. We decide which suits you by looking at how your product is handled.
Who uses them?
On this product our buyers are mainly textile companies, using the bags both for retail presentation and as shipping packaging. Beyond that they are chosen for packing products that are opened and closed often, for small parts and accessories, for sample and promotional shipments, and for sorting in the warehouse.
Variants
A gusset can be added at the bottom, letting bulkier products sit without deforming the bag. A hang hole can be punched where retail shelf or peg display is required. Printing is flexo, up to eight colours, with the print area and placement planned per order.
Material and compliance
The product can be made to two recipes, and the two are mutually exclusive. For food contact work only virgin polymer is used and production falls under our declaration of compliance. Where recycled content is required, production falls under our GRS 4.0 and RCS 2.0 scope certificates; that variant is for non-food use.
Size and gauge are set per order. Once the weight, dimensions and shipping method of your product are clear, we settle the specification together.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a zipper bag and a press-lock bag?
The closure. A zipper bag has an actual zipper, opened and closed with a slider. A press-lock bag has no slider: the mouth opens directly and you close it by pressing the two edges together until the interlocking ribs engage.
Can it be used for products in contact with food?
Yes, it can be produced suitable for food contact on request. Production is then covered by our declaration of compliance and only virgin polymer is used.
Can it be produced with recycled content?
Yes, it can be produced to a recycled-content recipe under our GRS 4.0 and RCS 2.0 scope certificates. That variant is for non-food use; no recycled feedstock is used in food contact production.
What sizes and gauges do you produce?
Size and gauge are set per order. Tell us the weight and dimensions of your product and how it ships, and we will settle the specification together.
Can you add a gusset or a hang hole?
Yes, both are optional. A bottom gusset lets bulkier products sit without deforming the bag; a hang hole is punched where retail shelf or peg display is required.
