History of the Bread Clip

The bread clip was invented by Floyd Paxton and manufactured by the Kwik Lok Corporation in Yakama, Washington with manufacturing plants in Yakima and New Haven, India. The bread clip was developed in the early 1950s because there was a growing need to close plastic bags on the packaging line. Consumers wanted a fast and easy way to seal their bags. Thus, the bread clip was born.
