Pactiv Introduces Hefty OneZip Travel Bags Designed For Airline Passengers With Carry-Ons

h

Lake Forest, IL - Pactiv Corporation, maker of Hefty brand products, recently announced it has expanded its line of Hefty OneZip slider bags to include the new Hefty OneZip Travel bag. This quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag has been designed to meet U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) 3-1-1 carry-on guidelines for air travel and conveniently stores seven to eight, 3-ounce, "travel-size" toiletry items. Hefty OneZip Travel bags are imprinted with the label "Meets Airport Security Guidelines" and an airplane graphic to let travelers know at a glance that they have the "right" zip-top bag.

"I have heard from both fellow travelers and TSA screeners that the quart-size Hefty® OneZip® bag is the perfect solution to make the security screening process much smoother," said John Schwab, senior vice president & general manager, Hefty® Consumer Products. "When you use a Hefty® OneZip® Travel bag, and follow the TSA 3-1-1 guidelines, you eliminate guesswork, which makes passing through airport security checkpoints easier and less stressful."

Hefty OneZip Travel bags are available in a new 7-count, flat travel pack that can be easily stored in an outside pocket of a carry-on bag. Hefty® OneZip® Travel packs can be found in the "travel and trial" aisles at select mass merchants and drug stores across the United States.

Hefty® OneZip® Travel bags feature an easy-to-use slider that closes the bag in one easy step, without pinching, pressing, or lining up the tracks.
