        "content": "I couldn\u2019t find a credible source confirming exactly which company made slider or zippered bags with a *curved thumb grip* (i.e. a slider that has one side curved for better thumb leverage) specifically on the **large side** of the slider. But I gathered some information about likely candidates, relevant features, and what might match your description. If you like, we can try narrowing it further from visuals.\n\n---\n\n## \u2714\ufe0f Companies & Features That Match Closely\n\nHere are brands and product lines that share similarities to what you described.\n\n1. **Ziploc**  \n   - They offer Slider Storage Bags and Slider Freezer Bags. ([ziploc.com](https://ziploc.com/en-US/products/bags/slider/medium-storage?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Their sliders are usually flat (no obvious thumb curve) and located across the entire top. Doesn\u2019t seem to have the curved thumb-specific feature.  \n   - Since you were thinking \u201ceither Glad or Ziploc,\u201d this is a strong match in terms of familiarity.  \n\n2. **Hefty (OneZip series)**  \n   - OneZip is Hefty\u2019s sliding-tab/seal bag line. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hefty?utm_source=openai))  \n   - The slider tab is usually a boxy or sphere\u2010style thumb tab that rides along dual plastic tracks (\u201cboxcar\u201d-shaped seal). ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hefty?utm_source=openai))  \n   - While it provides ease-of-use and larger tabs, nothing confirms a one-sided curve or \u201ccurbed\u201d thumb recess as you described.\n\n3. **ImpAk / Impak Corporation \u2014 \u201cThumb-Pocket\u00ae Zipper Bags\u201d**  \n   - These have a \u201cthumb pocket\u201d or recessed area (a little place to put the thumb to open the bag). ([impakcorporation.com](https://www.impakcorporation.com/flexible_packaging/child-resistant-pouch/thumb-pocket?utm_source=openai))  \n   - They are child-resistant, tamper-evident, and have a \u201cregistered mark\u201d where you\u2019d place your thumb. ([impakcorporation.com](https://www.impakcorporation.com/flexible_packaging/child-resistant-pouch/thumb-pocket?utm_source=openai))  \n   - This is perhaps the closest match to your description of a thumb-curved or recessed slider.  \n   - Downsides: these are usually smaller pouches rather than large kitchen-style storage bags. Also, overall size and thumb-pocket location might differ from what you remember.\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Things That Didn\u2019t Match or Have Unclear Evidence\n\n- **Glad** didn\u2019t have any searchable product lines showing curved thumb portions on sliders, though they do compete in the same space as Ziploc. Nothing came up in what I found that matches your memory.  \n- Slider bags in general are made by many brands, and the slider part often is a flat tab or single pull rather than one with a target thumb curb or recess.  \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udca1 Tentative Conclusion\n\nBased on what you remember:\n\n- If the feature was a **thumb groove or recess** designed to help opening, the closest match is probably Impak\u2019s Thumb-Pocket zipper bags. What you said about the slider being \u201ccurbed on at least one side for the thumb\u201d sounds very much like \u201cThumb-Pocket.\u201d Impak created that intentionally. ([impakcorporation.com](https://www.impakcorporation.com/flexible_packaging/child-resistant-pouch/thumb-pocket?utm_source=openai))  \n- If instead it was more like a regular slider with a tab, then the manufacturer could be Ziploc, Hefty, or possibly a generic/store brand that used a custom slider design.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to pull up images of sliders with thumb curves or recessed designs and see if anything visually matches what you remember. Do you want me to do that?"

Not everything has the thumb-pocket feature exactly, but it helps see the range and which products might match your description.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83e\uddd0 Impak\u2019s \u201cThumb-Pocket\u00ae\u201d Sizes\n\nImpak currently lists **two** sizes for their Thumb-Pocket Child-Resistant Zipper Bags:\n\n| Size (Outside Dimensions) | Approximate Fill Capacity | Notes |\n|----------------------------|-----------------------------|--------|\n| 4.0\u2033 \u00d7 4.125\u2033 (\u2248 1/8 oz) | ~1/8 ounce fill | Small version; product code ZCR0404125TE ([impakcorporation.com](https://www.impakcorporation.com/ZCR0550675TE?utm_source=openai)) |\n| 5.5\u2033 \u00d7 6.75\u2033 (\u2248 1/4 oz) | ~1/4 ounce fill | Larger version with Thumb-Pocket style; product code ZCR0550675TE ([impakcorporation.com](https://www.impakcorporation.com/ZCR0550675TE?utm_source=openai)) |\n\nAs of now, I **did not find** larger sizes in Impak\u2019s line explicitly using the Thumb-Pocket\u00ae style beyond 5.5\u2033 \u00d7 6.75\u2033.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d Other Child-Resistant / Thumb-Pocket-like Bags of Larger Sizes\n\nSome products are *similar* to the thumb-pocket design or offer child-resistance with thumb-friendly zipper or grip features. These might not have exactly the curved thumb slider, but they share characteristics.\n\n| Model | Outside Size / Format | Features |\n|-------|-------------------------|----------|\n| **IMPAK PharmaLoc\u2122 ZipSeal Bags** | 12.25\u2033 \u00d7 9\u2033 \u00d7 4\u2033 | Larger \u201cexit bags\u201d / stand-up pouches, child resistant with special zippers. Possibly not exact thumb-pocket slider but uses enhanced closures and two-hand opening formats. ([impakcorporation.com](https://www.impakcorporation.com/child-resistant-pouch-bag?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Sealer Sales, Inc.: \u201cLarge\u201d Child-Resistant Bags** | 12.25\u2033 \u00d7 9\u2033 \u00d7 4\u2033 | Similar large bags, child-resistant, darker or opaque, zip closure requiring two hands. Might align with what you remember depending on slider detail. ([shopsealersales.com](https://shopsealersales.com/products/child-resistant-bags?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **RDH Packaging Barrier Pouches** | Up to 12\u2033 \u00d7 9\u2033 + 4BG (exit bag style) | Includes various stock sizes (3.75\u2033 \u00d7 4\u2033 flat up to 12\u2033 \u00d7 9\u2033) with \u201cspecialized zipper makes opening difficult for children.\u201d Some may include thumb pockets or similar features \u2013 custom options available. ([rdhpackaging.com](https://www.rdhpackaging.com/product/child-resistant-barrier-pouch/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Bottom Line\n\n- **No larger Impak Thumb-Pocket\u00ae sizes** are clearly listed beyond the 5.5\u2033 \u00d7 6.75\u2033 model\u2014so if your memory is of a bag significantly larger, it might not have been that exact style, or could\u2019ve been custom/stock from another manufacturer.\n- **Larger child-resistant bags** with zippers or press-to-close styles are available, especially in \u201cPharmaLoc,\u201d \u201cexit bag,\u201d or barrier pouch formats. Some of those may have design tweaks like recessed thumb areas or thumb holes, but those aren\u2019t clearly labeled \u201cthumb-pocket\u00ae\u201d in every case.\n- If you want, I can try to track down **any manufacturer** with *explicitly thumb-pocket slides* in sizes like 6\u00d78, 8\u00d710, etc., including images to confirm shape. Would you prefer I search for that?"
