These new easy open tab bags are awful. The first time you try to open the bags the top zipper rips out. Serious design or manufacturing flaw.

I have to add my two cents worth to the poor reviews. I used to reuse these bags several times to freeze baked goods and waffles. I still have some bags of the old design and they are holding up much better than the new ones. I've notices several new bags have ripped at the sides near the opening, and all the manual seals fail after the second or third time I open and attempt to reseal them. the colored strips break and seals fail. I'll never buy this design again. It's easy to use - but only one time each!

We use Ziploc freezer bags for freezing meat for years. Unfortunately, we have found that the new bags are not good quality. They don't feel as thick and easy to puncture. Opening the bags causes the sides to rip. Very disappointed!

These bags literally rip open the sides when you open them.

Your baggies now tear when trying to open. Your testers really should take some home and use them for a couple of weeks. About 1 or 2 out of every 5 tear when trying to open them to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We appreciate your feedback, Gail - this isn't something you should expect with one bag, let alone a number of them. So we can make it right, I invite you to call 1-800-558-5252; we're available weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM (CST). Or visit the "Contact Us" link on Ziploc.com to send us an email. Please mention reference number: 017164101A.
We purchased these bags for the marketed "Easy Open Feature" Almost every bag has ripped before we even get to use it...Just opening it out of the box is not "easy!" Then you have so much waste because the only way to open them after that is to pull the bag itself apart. When you have Arthritis that is a painful solution. I will not buy this product again.

Another trusted brand goes cheap - 28 useless gallon freezer

I have used Ziploc freezer bags for very long time. I use them for storage of fish and game that I process for my home. They were always a reliable product until now. The NEW Ziploc Gallon Freezer Bags with Easy Open (should be called Easy Tear) strip are junk. We used a few out of the box without incident and then got into the bad ones. The bags tear just below the blue strip every time you try to open one. I thought, "Gee I guess they got into a bad batch." Then I looked at some things that had recent been stored in the freezer. Three bags evidently had a bad seal because ice crystals had already formed on the meat. So I looked online and found the complaints go back almost 6 months for these bags. Ziploc should have pulled their bad products back from the retailers. I am greatly dismayed as to why a trusted brand wouldn't fully test a product before release and even more surprised they didn't pull the bad product. I guess I have to find a new brand.

Quality remains at the heart of our company, and you should expect every Ziploc® brand Freezer Bag to offer a reliable storage solution. There are a few things that can contribute to the formation of ice crystals, though (like opening the freezer door frequently which can cause temperature fluctuations). We'd welcome the chance to help restore your faith in our brand. When you have a moment to chat, please give us a call at 1-800-558-5252 and provide reference number: 017154853A. You can reach us weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM (CST), or connect with us by email via the "Contact Us" link on Ziploc.com.
Have used Ziploc for many years, but the last 2 boxes I have bought tear down the sides when you initially try to open them and if you manage to get them open, resealing them is a lengthy task.
