I have been a loyal Ziploc consumer for many years and purchase Ziploc Freezer bags in large quantities through the various warehouse clubs. I don't know what's going on with the bags, if they have changed suppliers or what, but the latest batches have a pinkish tinge and the mil is much thinner the older ones, which had more of a bluish tinge to them. Since, they are thinner I've been having to double bag everything before freezing it, which defeats the purpose of being cost effective. They used to be my favorite bags but now I'll have to start comparing with others on the market.

The great seals make little difference if the bag leaks in the corners. We have stored, for example, liver in the freezer in a gallon Ziploc bag. When we take it out to the refrigerator for thawing we have blood all over the refrigerator shelf because the bag leaks. This is not a one time deal.
We have used Ziploc products for many years. The gallon size has always been a staple in our home. However, recently, we have gotten multiple boxes where the seam separates on one side when we tried to open the bag. Typically they have always been reliable, but something has gone wrong with the quality control. I hope the company figures out what is going wrong so we don't have to continue throwing unused bags away, what a waste!
I find that when I open a new bag or any that I have already sealed. The smaller side of the ziploc 'flap' seems to be a thinner material and stretches to much before it even opens. Sometimes the small side just tears when I try to open it. The bags need to be a little more rigid for opening.
I have bought 2 boxes of the 1 gallon storage bags, separately, and have the same problem. I simply cannot open a bag without a lot of effort, and most of the time, the bag rips. Very dissatisfied.

I have always used Ziploc bags but the last box I purchased every bag I've tried to use will not stay closed. Completely useless! I am so disappointed in ziploc!!!! It says ultra protection but can't even get it from the counter to the freezer without it popping open. Bought a large box and none of them work.
