Zipper Bag is a flexible packaging container with a reusable zipper, typically made from plastic films such as PE, PP, and PET. It is widely used for packaging clothing, food, electronics, and personal care products. In foreign trade, this term is commonly used to describe product packaging methods and is an important product description in customs declaration, contracts, and letters of credit. Usage scenarios include: customers requiring products to be packaged in zipper bags for easy display and reuse; or exported as standalone goods, such as food storage bags and document bags. Precautions: the material, size, thickness, printing requirements, and zipper type (e.g., regular zipper, slider zipper) of the zipper bag must be clearly specified to avoid disputes caused by inconsistent specifications. Difference from other terms: ordinary Poly Bag has no zipper and is usually disposable; Zip Lock Bag seals via interlocking grooves, while Zipper Bag refers to bags with a physical zipper. In foreign trade documents, Zipper Bag should be used accurately to avoid confusion with Ziplock Bag.
