återförslutbar

Återförslutbar is a Swedish adjective meaning resealable or reclosable. It describes packaging or containers that can be opened and then closed again, preserving the contents. This feature is common in various types of products to maintain freshness, prevent spills, or facilitate reuse.

Examples of items that are often återförslutbar include food packaging such as bags for snacks, cereal boxes with internal plastic liners, and containers for dairy products or spreads. Many personal care products, like toothpaste tubes with screw-on caps or cosmetic jars, also utilize återförslutbar designs. In industrial contexts, it can refer to packaging for chemicals or hardware. The primary benefit of an återförslutbar design is its ability to extend the shelf life of a product and reduce waste by allowing consumers to keep it fresh for subsequent use. This contrasts with single-use packaging that cannot be effectively reclosed. The mechanism for being återförslutbar can vary, including zippers, resealable adhesive strips, screw-on caps, or snap-shut lids.
