Recloseable feature 'snaps' onto Herr Foods' pretzel pack

Two 22-oz varieties, Bite Size and Thin, were scheduled to be launched in the recloseable pack in the Northeast by late April, according to Daryl Thomas, vice president of marketing for Nottingham, PA-based Herr Foods Inc. “This is the first reclosable bag for a Herr’s product,” he says. “Our initial consumer research about reclosability was very encouraging, and we’re anxious to see how consumers react to it.”

Touted as an alternative to zipper- and slider-style closures, Easy Snap is co-marketed in North America by SIG Doboy, Inc.-Easy Snap Division (New Richmond, WI) and Presto Products Company’s Fresh-Lock Zipper Business Unit (Appleton, WI). Presto is a business of Alcoa Consumer Products.
