How to Close a Bag of Chips by Folding It
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Party time calls for chips (crisps) and dip. Opening a few bags of different chips to dip is a breeze. When it comes to clean up time, we find we are left with too many opened chip bags, and not a bag clip in the house to seal them with. Leaving them partially open will make the chips stale before we get to eat them again. Fortunately, there's a way to fold the chip bag so you will never have this problem again and will keep the chips as fresh as the day you bought them.
Steps
- Smooth the ends so that they are smooth, flat and air tight.
- Use both hands and fold the open end down about an inch (2.5 cm). Do not roll.
- Tuck each folded end under as you keep flattening and folding once again. Continue in this manner until you reach just above the area of the chips.
- Flatten the fold with your hands and fold the corners towards the middle. It doesn't matter which way you fold them; here they are shown folded towards the rolled side, but you can also fold away from the roll.
- While keeping the corners folded, unroll the end and fold it over the corners so that it makes a tight pocket or hood holding the ends in.
- Check by turning the bag upside down. It is sealed and easy to open the next time you need to use it.

Tips
- Make sure that you smooth each fold, removing air from the section you are turning down.
- The neater and tighter your folds, the fresher your chips.
- May take practice. Keep trying (over a bowl) because this will come in handy.
Warnings
- Leaving air inside will make the chips stale. Do not leave air inside with any bag of this type (pretzels, cereal, cookies).
- This method will not work on pliable bags (like shopping bags). It'll work on foil and paper bags, and on some plastic bags, but only if they're very stiff.
- Be careful when testing out your folding – you don't want your chips to end up on the floor!
