Spanish term or phrase: Cerrar herméticamente
"Cerrar herméticamente la bolsa de plástico"

I had though of putting "air seal the plastic bag" but that doesn't seem to exist! Pfff... So now I have no idea what to put... I translated "bolsa hermética" as "air sealed bag"... The text is about blood sample collection kits.

Thanks for any help/suggestions! Hanna
