We set out to create a better, more eco friendly way to store food. With Zip Top’s unique features like a flat base, open top, and extreme durability, we found they are useful for so much more than food storage!

We put together a list of ways to use Zip Tops to get your creativity going.

Food

Leftovers

Zip Top containers are perfect for saving leftovers in a neat, space-efficient way. When you're ready to eat, the whole container can be warmed up safely in your microwave. 

Meal Prep

Cut veggies, fruit, and other ingredients to store for later use. Meal prep your lunches and dinners in your Zip Top containers.

Marinating

Zip Top's sturdy flat bases allow for liquid to be stored in an upright position, which makes marinating and storing less stressful! Simply pour the marinade into the container and set meat, veggies, or anything you like inside and close. Perfect for easy, overnight marinating in the refrigerator, without having to stress about potential leaks or spills. 

Mixing

Our various sizes and shapes of containers are great to use for mixing or separating ingredients for later combination. 

On the Go

Take food on the go! The cups and baby snack containers conveniently fit in cup holders. (Note: we do not recommend taking liquids on the go).

Sauces, Soups, and Other Liquids

Store your liquids easily in the fridge or freezer! Zip Tops stand upright and will prevent spills and leaks. Plus, they can withstand very hot liquids without melting or leaching chemicals into your food.
