It seems as though every day there are more product bags using those "slider seal" or "pinch seal" tops. You know ... lip on one side, groove on the other. In theory, you just slide your pinched finger and thumb along the top edge of the bag, and you now have resealed it. (As opposed to Ziplock tops that use an actual plastic zipper)
I find these pinch-seal bags to be a real nuisance, especially if I'm in a hurry. I "pinch", put the bag back in the pantry, and then find out a week later that the seal didn't work. Found that to be the case this morning with a very expensive plastic bag of pecan halves: the seal only partially worked.
In order for this pinch-seal to do the job, the two sides have to be properly aligned. This can be a problem if the product inside has shifted, pulling one side just a bit further down than the other. I don't find this to be a problem with "zip-lock" tops, for the most part.
What say you about "pinch-seal"? A fantastic idea or one that needs a bit more R&D?
