Innovation is in our genes

Kwik Lok was founded by Floyd Paxton. He was an engineer who saw that packaging technologies, following World War II, were changing. That was when he invented the Kwik Lok closure. In 1954, he formed Kwik Lok Corporation. In that first year, its unique closure system quickly became the preferred method for keeping bags of Washington State apples safe and fresh.

Since 1954, Kwik Lok has innovated:
• 112 types of bag closures
• 200+ retail machines and over 400 variations
• 60 patents for our closures, machines and technology

This is an ongoing effort to search out new technologies,
to maximize existing operations, to find new ways to respect

when you put your soul into it.

Our customers require the best, most forward-thinking solutions available
so we have partnered across the industry to bring products to the show that

of customer concerns, Kwik Lok has continued to innovate with customers
in mind. To meet these customer needs, Kwik Lok has launched several new
innovations including a sustainable bag closure and a tamper-evident solution.
