unresealable
Cannot close again
Unable to be sealed again after opening.
Packaging described as unresealable lacks a zipper, adhesive strip, or other mechanism for closing it back up: The unresealable bag meant the chips went stale overnight.
The word appears almost exclusively in product descriptions and consumer complaints.
