Verschließbare

Verschließbare is a German adjective meaning lockable or sealable. It describes objects that can be closed, locked, or sealed by a closure mechanism. The form is used attributively before nouns, for example: ein verschließbarer Behälter, eine verschließbare Tasche, verschließbare Deckel.

The word is formed from the verb verschließen (to lock, close, or seal) plus the suffix -bar, yielding verschließbar, “able to be locked/closed.” When used before a noun, the adjective takes endings according to gender, number, and case, such as der verschließbare Behälter (masc nominative singular), die verschließbare Box (fem nominative singular), die verschließbaren Behälter (plural).

In usage, verschließbare describes practical security features in products and packaging, including containers, cases, doors, lids, and enclosures. It is common in technical, commercial, and safety contexts where a closure or locking capability is important. The term is distinct from versiegelbar, which emphasizes a seal or tamper-evident closure rather than a locking mechanism, though both convey the idea of a secured state.

Verschließbarkeit, the corresponding noun, denotes the property or degree to which something is lockable or sealable. Related terms include Verschluss (closure or lock) and Versiegelung (sealing). Together they form a vocabulary for describing closures, security features, and packaging requirements in German.
