Minigrip : What resealable bags for sampling, storage and logistics in the laboratory?

With Minigrip, the flagship brand of the Flexico group, the grip-seal bag has become the benchmark for sampling, storage and lab logistics. Known for crisp, repeatable and durable closures, the brand serves the needs of life sciences, quality control, R&D and food laboratories. Dutscher stocks a curated range of sizes, thicknesses and options (write-on panel, perforations, slider) tailored to everyday use, combining cleanliness, traceability and efficiency at every step of handling.

An iconic brand, dedicated to precision at every step

Born within Flexico, a European specialist in flexible packaging and reclosable systems, Minigrip has established itself as the signature for the grip-seal (press-to-close) bag and slider. Over the decades, the brand has refined the design of reliable zip profiles, film quality and dimensional stability to deliver a safe, repeatable and intuitive closure action. Its development has been driven by close proximity to users – laboratories, pharma, cosmetics and the agri-food sector – to align products with the traceability and cleanliness requirements of technical environments. Today, Minigrip stands for the combination of tightly controlled manufacturing, a coherent portfolio of reclosable solutions and application-focused support, with a European footprint underpinned by Flexico.

Expertise and Areas of Specialisation

Minigrip’s expertise centres on resealable PE bags designed for frequent handling and repeated open/close cycles without any loss of sealing integrity. The zip profiles and optional slider provide a positive track that’s tactile and audible on closing, giving confidence for sampling, aliquoting and short-term storage.

For laboratories, Dutscher supplies optimised SKUs: high clarity for visual checks, write-on panels for identification, hanging holes (Euro hole) for tidy racking, and multiple sizes to fit containers (bottles/vials, kits, components). The polyethylene films balance flexibility, tear resistance and durability in use, with thicknesses selected according to the mass or nature of the contents.

Minigrip is widely chosen for consistent closure profiles and clean cutting, minimising edge particulates and making gloved opening easy. The brand supports use in R&D, quality control, non-sterile microbiology, management of environmental samples and bench organisation of accessories. Certain items are offered as suitable for food contact (as per technical data sheets and declarations of compliance), a plus for food-testing labs. Materials are single-material PE to enhance recyclability within local streams. All of this is underpinned by European manufacturing led by Flexico, ensuring availability, consistency and documentation traceability aligned with the requirements of certified sites.

Day to day, Minigrip stands out for instant use, intuitive ergonomics with no learning curve, and a streamlined range designed for risk control and smooth lab operations.
