Compare Tear-Strip vs. Heat-Seal vs. Plain Zipper
| Feature | Tear-Strip | Heat-Seal Band | Plain Zipper |
|---|---|---|---|
| First-open evidence | Visible — strip must be removed | Visible — sealed band cut/teared | Not by itself |
| Resealable after opening | Yes — zipper remains | Yes — after opening via notch | Yes — zipper only |
| Barrier & shelf-life | High (depends on laminate) | High (strongest pre-sale seal) | High (same laminate) |
| Equipment required | Standard heat-sealer for strip | Heat-sealer for band | No sealing if pre-zipped only |
| Typical use cases | Retail SKUs needing clean proof of first open | Food/OTC/cannabis with stricter pre-sale integrity | Refill packs, low-risk categories |
| Pros | Strong proof + great shelf look | Maximum integrity pre-sale | Simplest customer experience |
| Considerations | Strip waste; ensure easy peel | Must add tear notch for open | No tamper evidence alone |
