Bags with grip seals are versatile and widely used for various purposes due to their convenient design and resealable closure. Some common uses include:


  • Storage and Organisation: This type of bag is excellent for storing and organising small items like stationery, craft supplies, jewellery, nuts, bolts, screws and other hardware components.
  • Retail Packaging: They are often used in retail stores to package small items, such as jewellery, accessories, beads, or small toys, providing a transparent view of the product while keeping it securely sealed.
  • Document Protection: Bags with grip seals and write-on panels are perfect for protecting important documents, photographs or certificates while allowing easy identification.
  • Samples and Promotional Items: Businesses often use bags with grip seals to distribute product samples or promotional items at events or trade shows.
  • Medical and Laboratory Applications: In medical and laboratory settings, bags with grip seals are used for storing and transporting small items, specimens or medical devices securely.
  • Industrial Use: Heavy-duty grip seal bags are commonly used in industrial settings for storing small parts, tools, or components.

Grip seal bags have a simple open and closure mechanism which enables the bags to be opened and closed multiple times without damaging the contents inside.


To close the bag, you must squeeze the top together so that it creates an airtight lock inside the bag. This can help ensure that the product not only stays fresh but kept clean and dry. To open the bag, pull the plastic apart from above the seal.


One of the benefits of using a grip seal bag from Macfarlane Packaging is that they are a reusable packaging solution.
