  • Ziploc® Loves Food as Much as You Do

    Helping protect food and the future

    Just like you, we’re all about food. With 50+ years of expertise in the bag, we aren’t afraid to redefine what it means to protect every ingredient, snack, or dish. Food waste is a major environmental and economic issue.

We help keep food at its freshest and finest

Spoiler alert: strawberries get wrinkles, carrots grow fuzzy, and date-night steaks lose their romance within days. Reducing food waste starts with keeping food fresh and protected. That’s why Ziploc® has a team of engineers and innovators who love food too. They help lead the way for a future that preserves everything from produce to pizza.
