We have always liked ziplock bags until the new design. We like to use the gallon bags to store individually wrapped chicken, so we can pull out what we need and leave the rest frozen. With the new design the top of the bag rips open and we can't keep the bags sealed. We will be looking for a new brand to use as a gallon freezer bag. You can not over fill them because the tops will rip off. Worst design ever made.
We have been using the large freezer bags for years to carry ice on camping trips. I always double bagged for safety in case it leaked and it never happened. The new design not only leaked through the first bag but through the second as well. I have also used the bags to freeze meats and poultry in the past and none of the bags have leaked now every bag leaks. Terrible product looking for something different. Sorry Johnson you loose.
I have been using Ziploc freezer bags for years but unfortunately with the new design bags this is about to end. What was the thinking behind the new bags and who tested them? The tabs tear, the seams split and they arethinner than the previous bags. I think Ziploc should go back to the designers for a re-think. I think many consumers will turn to another product . Too bad!!

I have used Ziploc Freezer Bags for years and never had a problem... until now. The new Ziploc Freezer Bags with the easy open tabs leak. They will not hold a seal. I have been through a half of a box and have yet to get a good seal and they tear very easily at the top of the bag. This used to be a great product. I would not recommend this product to anyone now. In fact I would recommend not buying it at all now.

I just threw out about half a box of these because seemingly every other bag would not close, no matter how hard I tried. I am now using some old store brand bags with a Halloween print that bought on clearance. Please change the design! It's not just this size either. All bags of this design are worthless now.
