Ziploc(R) Fresh SHIELD(TM) Products Preserve Food Freshness to Fuel Summer Fun

RACINE, Wis., June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The official start to summer is June 21,
but busy schedules and tight budgets risk spoiling the season. SC Johnson, the
maker of Ziploc Fresh SHIELD products, offers easy, affordable ways to help
families enjoy the bounty of summer.

"Summer brings with it a wonderful variety of fruits, vegetables and outdoor
activities," says Kelly Semrau, SC Johnson Vice President of Global Public
Affairs and Communication. "As a family company, SC Johnson wants to help
families keep their favorite foods fresh and enjoy all that summer has to
offer."

Fresh Summer Tips from Ziploc Fresh SHIELD Products
Summer should be synonymous with fun, but juggling a packed schedule with a
lighter wallet can be stressful. SC Johnson, the maker of Ziploc Fresh SHIELD
bags and containers, offers low-cost ideas to savor summer.

    1. Nurture your green thumb. Plant vegetables and herbs in your backyard
for
       a fun summer project. You'll enjoy seasonal produce at a fraction of
       the price all summer long. Protect your harvest and all summer
groceries
       with Ziploc Fresh SHIELD bags to lock in freshness.
    2. Buy in bulk and fatten your wallet. Buy meat in bulk to save money. 
       Avoid complaints about monotonous menus by dividing the meat into
freezer
       bags with different marinades so you can serve meals over several
weeks.
       Shown to be 200 times stronger than original store packaging, Ziploc
       Fresh SHIELD Double Zipper Freezer Bags are ideal for freezing
       individually prepared meats. Simply transfer to the fridge to defrost
24
       hours before cooking.
    3. Fuel outdoor adventures. Explore area parks to get an up-close look at
       nature. Pack a healthy picnic in Ziploc Fresh SHIELD Twist 'n Loc(R)
       Containers for an easy way to tote fresh summer salads. The lids twist
on
       like a jar and have a leak-resistant seal, so you don't have to
       worry about messes.
    4. Prep for easy grilling. Marinade meats and vegetables in Ziploc Fresh
       SHIELD Easy Zipper Expandable Bottom Storage Bags for quick transfers
       from the fridge to the grill. These bags feature a pleated bottom that
       expands into a flat base, helping them stay upright for easy access at
       the grill.


    5. Family time, anytime. Don't wait for vacation to cherish time with
       your family. Set aside a specific time each week to spend together.
       Whether it's playing outdoor games, going on a walk, or even doing
       yard work, you'll make plenty of memories before the summer is over.
