zip bags

Resealable plastic pouches

Zip bags are resealable plastic bags with an interlocking closure that can be pressed together or pulled apart.

The name comes from the zipper-like action of the seal.

Used for food storage, organization, and travel: I packed sandwiches in zip bags.

Ziploc is the dominant brand name, often used generically.
