The Hot Lock Bag® is the ideal solution for packaging goods under strict hygiene standards. This is particularly the case for food, chemicals and pharmaceutical products. Produced under strict hygienic conditions, this open-mouth bag combines functional features for easy closure, reliable storage and convenient opening.

How does it work?
During bag production a strip of hot melt is applied to the top opening of the open-mouth bag. After the bag is filled, the hot melt is heated up, which activates its adhesive properties, thus enabling clean and easy closure.

This solution does not rely on a sewn closure or adhesive tape and therefore helps guarantee hygiene standards.
• Extended storage
• Easy opening
Reliable closure conforming with hygiene standards (HACCP, BRC/IoP, ISO 22000): Pre-applied hot melt coating on the open side of the bag is re-activated by heat and forms a solid pinch closure
