General Mills launches resealable Cheerios packaging with Ziploc
What happened
General Mills has partnered with Ziploc to introduce Cheerios with Ziploc PantrySeal, a new packaging design. This design includes a resealable bag inside the cereal box, intended to keep cereal fresh longer, make pouring easier, and reduce spills. The move responds to customer feedback regarding the difficulty of keeping cereal fresh after opening the box.
