Well, an internet search for "1957 self sealing" reveals many product patents including but not limited to:

plastic wrap (saran wrap was invented in the late 1940s though)

self sealing plastic bags

self sealing washers

self sealing container lids (such as those used for inks)

The term, "self seal" suggests that the material sticks to itself. Zip-lock types of bags and tupperware require mechanical manipulation and therefore do not seal themselves.

Also, many products containing latex exhibit this ability (self vulcanization?) and may contain/be converted to plastic (such as rubber but the sealing properties come from the latex, not the plastic.) That being said, a self sealing vehicle tire or the "stopper" on a phlebotomists (sp) test-tube could be considered plastic items.

This question seems to require a very specific answer derived from specific material. If this is a test or homework question I would suggest reading the material that the instructor has provided.
