Heritage & History
Zip Top was founded in Austin, Texas with the goal of creating a truly functional reusable alternative to both disposable plastic bags and conventional lidded food containers. The inventor observed that most reusable containers failed in one of two ways: they required the same lid-hunting friction as conventional containers, or they were flexible bags that couldn't stand upright and tipped over when open. The solution was a container made entirely from one piece of platinum silicone with a zip closure built into the top — no separate lid to lose, no prop required to keep it open during filling.
The Austin, Texas manufacturing location was a deliberate choice. Keeping production domestic allowed the founders to control material quality, verify the platinum silicone formulation, and maintain oversight of the manufacturing process — all relevant for a food-contact product that is marketed on the strength of its safety credentials.
Made in Austin, Texas
Every Zip Top container is manufactured in Austin, Texas from 100% platinum silicone. Platinum silicone is FDA-grade material used in medical devices and food processing equipment — it contains no BPA, plastic, fillers, or chemical stabilizers. The entire container, including the zip closure mechanism, is a single piece of the same material, which eliminates the adhesive bonds and seam points where lower-quality silicone products can degrade over time.
The containers are microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe, and oven safe to 400°F. The zip closure creates a press-and-seal seal that works for solid foods and non-liquid items; the design is not intended for storage of liquids, which is a meaningful limitation to understand before purchase. The Austin manufacturing origin is stated directly on Amazon product listings and verified on the company website. For buyers who want food storage that is genuinely free of plastic, made by an American company at a verifiable domestic location, Zip Top delivers on that specification.
