reclosable
Shuts after opening
Reclosable describes packaging or containers designed to be opened and sealed again multiple times.
A reclosable bag has a built-in mechanism—typically a zip-lock strip, adhesive flap, or press-to-seal closure—that lets you access the contents and then close it back up to maintain freshness.
The chips come in a reclosable pouch so they don't go stale.
The term appears most often on food packaging but applies to any container engineered for repeated opening and closing.
