ziplock

Resealable plastic bag

Ziplock is a trademark that has become the generic term for plastic bags with an interlocking seal that can be opened and closed repeatedly.

The seal consists of two ridged strips that press together to create an airtight closure.

Though Ziploc is the brand name, ziplock has entered common usage as both noun and verb: ziplock the leftovers before putting them in the freezer.

These bags are kitchen staples for food storage, but also useful for organizing small items or keeping things dry.
