Search term for these zippy bags
« on: February 21, 2021, 11:48:04 pm »
I got some stuff delivered in these really nice fabric-y plastic bags with a zipper top. I'd like to buy a few dozen. I tried variations of search terms but can't find these. What words should I use?

It's great to store junk, you can see through them, the fabric back blocks out the background and the zipper top is perfect.

I tried searching "plastic fabric zipper bag" on Aliexpress and I think some of the results looks similar to what your are looking for:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000551997928.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000265611155.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32956086513.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000817875597.html

You can try to refine the search from there

I'd bet whoever put that cable in there knows where to get them.

Weeeell, no, that was me putting that cable in there. That's the only bag I have.

They are common known as "Plastic Zip Bags" (with or without a handle). Also "Ziploc" bags which are a trademark of SC Johnson.

Yeah but not with that combination of textured fabric white back and the slider. I don't want food bags, I don't need a watertight seal, but I like that slider. It's soooo much easier and faster than the food bags.

I think the polyester fabric backing is much less common. I looked in the ULINE catalog, which has hundreds of types of zip bags, and they do not carry it. They do, however, have zip bags with transparent fronts and opaque poly film backs.

Well then, where did you get the bag? I looked around a bit at Amazon and a couple othe places with no luck. I saw a slider like that on some bags at ziploc.com. You might try looking around there. I didn't really have the time.

Try search keywords: Tyvek Ziplok and bag or pouch

Bought once from LIDL.  The cardboard box says "Small Resealable Food and Freezer Bags (with zip)", so search for:
- resealable freezer bags, for food grade, or
- ziploc bags

I think this bag came from a t-shirt I bought on eBay last year. I've sent a few messages and I'll see what happens.

Yes, after months of searching the planet high and low, I found these:

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/264533126694

The keyword is "non-woven", which apparently implies fabric. But if you search for "fabric", you get hemp bags, etc...

These are great.
