25 Years of Clip-n-Seal. A little update from the day job—hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Clip-n-Seal hit the shelves. Since joining as one of the first independent sellers in 2000, I have worked to grow Clip-n-Seal from a simple solution for stale chips to a NASA-commissioned tool—thanks to Amazon’s early programs, such as FBA, that leveled the playing field for small businesses like mine. I am grateful for the journey and excited to keep innovating in Amazon stores for years to come.

“His invention, Clip-n-Seal—born years earlier from a bag of stale chips—had already proven itself with customers across the country. After 26 prototypes, he had perfected this innovative bag closure device, and demand was growing. But managing inventory and shipping from his Seattle base was becoming increasingly complex. The possibility of having Amazon handle these logistics promised to solve one of his biggest challenges as a growing small business.”
What started as a simple solution has grown into a staple in kitchens, workshops, and gear bags around the world. It feels like we’re just getting started.
