Ziplock
I am interested in the pragmatic and mundane, two qualities found in the
object of a baggie. What also attracts me to this item is its simplicity
of design, versatility of uses and the material used in its construction:
plastic.
Further contemplation of this object led me to a few thoughts:
By its function as a receptacle, baggies span all economic levels. It is
as appropriate for the housewife bagging lunch items as it is for the drug
dealer packaging contraband.
Their variety of sizes and
thicknesses lend them to specialized uses.
Along with being practical and aesthetic (streamlined, no frills design,)
baggies have a sentimental value for
me as well.
................................History
1958
Baggies are developed in response to a market for disposable
food wrappers for mass consumption, an outcrop of the baby-boom era.
The original plastic food bag is simply that: a bag closed by a twist-tie.
The baggie is available in only one size. Mobile Oil Company is the
developer, but the people involved in the product development group
who designed the baggie are unknown.
1960
The foldover sandwich bag is created.
1964
Glad Corporation pioneers a more efficient closure for the baggie
using a color-coded "ziplock" method. This is Glad's trademark. Also,
bag sizes begin to differentiate and the product line is now known
as "storage bags."
1993
Mobile Oil Co. develops a more secure closing system for their bags
called the "side lock."
1996
As a spin-off of storage bags (which are a spin-off of the original
baggie,) Glad Corporation releases "Gladware" into the market. This
product fuses the disposable, lightweight properties of storage bags
with the rigid form of tupperware-style plastic containers.
............................Conclusion
Baggies have kept pace with the times, evolving from humble beginnings
as a single-sized, open bag with a twistie enclosure into today's
hybrid storage container (modernist invention goes PoMo.) Technological
and design advances have made baggies an integral part of millions
of households and businesses throughout the world. Just another example
of American know-how making life a little easier.
