Airtight storage bag sealer

Abstract

Described herein is an airtight storage bag mouth assembly defined by opposing first and second elongate panel members. This inventive concept is equipped with adhesive flaps, a slider assembly, and may have a writing label. Unitable coupling members disposed on the opposing first and second elongate panel members are longitudinally disposed substantially along the length of the panel members. A slider assembly is configured to press inward on the unitable coupling members wherein at least one protrusion member disposed on a first unitable coupling member is contiguously and removably disposed within at least one groove member disposed within a second unitable coupling member. The polymer container mouth assembly allows the bag to be in an open or closed state.
