Pop goes the pouch spring

October 10, 2007 1:28 PM

Where can I find/buy the closures for squeeze pouches?

I want to be able to make squeeze pouches or what-call-you, but I have no idea how to find the flat springs that are used to make them. A picture of the kind of closure that I am looking for is here.

I have no idea what to call them. Flat spring brings up things that are too mechanical, and otherwise I am failing miserably at the Google. I need a place where I can buy these springs, free of the accompanying bag part, so that I can make my own.

I suppose I was hoping for something that could be purchased for less than a pre-made bag with that closure in, but that is what I was looking for.

Yeah, I was surprised at the price, myself.

Yay, me! Report if you actually do anything with them. They're pretty cool gadgets.
