The other locking mechanism is known as a slide-lock closure, which does the same thing as an interlocking closure except the clicking together happens because of a sliding piece attached at the top rather then the pressing together of the two edges with fingertips. The same benefits result from using a slide-lock closure as a interlocking mechanism.
