Tips

When my husband and I went snorkeling on a Caribbean cruise, we used Ziploc Bags to feed the fish! At breakfast we snatched a few rolls from the buffet and sealed them up in the Ziploc sandwich size bags. Once in the water we were able to keep the rolls from getting wet and mushy until we were ready to attract and feed the fish. There were thousands of them - all hungry for fresh bread, thanks to Ziploc!

If you’re in need of a makeshift pillow at home or while traveling, blow some air into a Ziploc® Brand Storage Bag and then seal it. You’ll have the perfect temporary pillow and, when you’re done, you can simply open the bag and fold it into your pocket

Before you hop into the car to visit relatives, set out bowls of raisins, granola and various nuts and let each family member fill a Ziploc® Brand Storage Bag with favorites for the ride. They’ll enjoy the custom-made snacks, and you’ll be glad they had something nutritious before their festive treats.

With a little planning, the whole family can enjoy nutritious foods throughout the day while enjoying outdoor activities. Before heading out to campgrounds, the beach or the park, pack your cooler with fresh treats for the family. Make cooler space count by organizing like-items together, such as sandwiches on the left and fruits and veggies on the right to maximize space and make finding treats a snap. Finally, add in sunscreen and a spray bottle filled with water. They’ll feel refreshing to the skin and keep the whole family sunburn free and feeling cool on a warm day.

For no-fuss, budget-friendly outdoor meals and snacks, try packing a picnic for the family instead of purchasing expensive theme-park meals. Make cleaning up a cinch by storing tableware, tongs and serving spoons in Ziploc® Brand Slider Storage and Freezer Bags with the Smart Zip® Seal for easy access. Prepare for any spills or mishaps by pre-moistening paper towels and storing them in Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bags. Reserve the bags to bring the dirty items home so you can pop them straight into the sink or dishwasher.
