Resealable Bags

Resealable bags for foodservice, offices, and everyday storage

Resealable bags (zip bags) are a go-to for portion control, ingredient prep, leftovers, and general organization. For restaurants, schools, healthcare, and office breakrooms, the right bag helps reduce waste, prevent leaks, and keep products labeled and easy to handle. Buy by the case to keep costs predictable and avoid last-minute reorders.

Our assortment includes popular brands like Ziploc, Hefty, Glad, Boardwalk, Lunchskins, and AmerCareRoyal, with options suited for both back-of-house and front-of-house use. If you need help matching a bag to your application or storage conditions, our customer support can guide you to the right size, thickness, and closure style.

How to choose the right resealable bag

Size and capacity

Start with what you are packing: condiments, snacks, produce, prepped proteins, or small parts. Common sizes range from small snack and sandwich formats to quart and gallon sizes for bulk ingredients. For operations that portion daily, standardizing on a few sizes simplifies inventory and speeds up prep.

Material and thickness

Most resealable bags are made from polyethylene. Thicker bags generally provide better puncture resistance and a more reliable seal for heavier or sharper items. For lighter-duty tasks like dry snacks or paper goods organization, standard thickness can be a cost-effective choice.

Closure performance and leak resistance

Look for a consistent zip track that closes smoothly and stays sealed during handling. For liquids, sauces, or marinated items, prioritize stronger seals and consider double-zip styles when available. Proper filling (do not overpack) and removing excess air also improves seal reliability.

Food contact and compliance considerations

For foodservice use, confirm the bag is intended for food contact and aligns with your internal safety program. If you label and date items, choose surfaces that accept marker ink cleanly and do not smear when cold or damp.

Common use cases by industry

Restaurants and catering

Use resealable bags for portioning ingredients, storing garnishes, holding prepped produce, and organizing mise en place. They also work well for separating allergens and keeping items contained during transport.

Schools and healthcare

Resealable bags support portion control, snack distribution, and safe storage of small items. For staff areas, they are useful for organizing supplies and protecting items from moisture.

Offices and facilities

From breakroom snacks to maintenance parts, resealable bags keep items grouped and easy to identify. Buying in bulk helps reduce per-unit cost and keeps supply closets stocked.

Bulk ordering tips that reduce cost and downtime

Standardize and buy by the case

Most teams save time and money by standardizing on a small set of sizes and ordering by the case. This reduces changeovers, simplifies training, and helps you maintain consistent results across shifts.

Plan for storage and replenishment

Keep cases in a clean, dry area away from heat. Set reorder points based on weekly usage so you can take advantage of low pricing without risking stockouts. With 1-2 day shipping on many items, you can replenish quickly when demand spikes.

Related bag options for specific carryout and merchandising needs

If your order includes packaged baked goods, Bakery Bags can be a better fit for display and freshness than a zip bag. For takeout, prep, and general-purpose packaging beyond zip closures, browse Food & Utility Bags to cover a wider range of formats.

For retail and front-of-house carryout, consider pairing resealable bags with Grocery Bags or Shopping Bags to improve customer handling and reduce double-bagging. If you need cold-chain transport or specialty carryout, Ice Bags and Liquor Bags offer purpose-built options for heavier loads and specific compliance needs.
