New at PACK EXPO International 2012 is the Slider Select, a small, light-weight slider option. Director of global marketing at Zip-Pak Robert E. Hogan demonstrated the new slider Monday morning in the company's booth, pointing out its light weight and compact size. It reportedly offers a high degree of leak resistance, which is suitable for keeping food products fresh and flavorful, and keeping personal-care items such as pre-moistened wipes dry and usable. Unlike some slider options, wihc require an area of pre-activation, the Slider Select does not require a small opening or protruding finger for the clip to work properly. Further, because the slider uses less material than competitive products, it offers users cost savings and sustainability benefits.
