The product bags ripped when opening then and the frozen product inside did not stay as fresh as in the past. I love Ziploc bags but not this particular product. I would not recommend it
We use a lot of Ziplock bags, but the new design on the 1 gallon Ziplock bags with the "tab" just doesn't seem to work very well. The tab invariably tears, and then the bag is nearly impossible to open.
Don't know what you did to these bags but are not of the original quality they used to be. I'll try to find something else to use but will not be purchasing anymore.
My wife was breading chicken as she has done for years with the gallon freezer bags (because they were tough) when the bottom split and dumped everything out. You can see the weak spot in every bag in the box. Rolling a bit of air in a new bag will cause a failure along the weak spot as if the bag was cut. If JJ cares to see this problem I have photos or will send the bags to you. I hope this is a bad batch and not common.
These have been my go to bag for everything since they came on the market. A free sample in the mail won my loyalty. Great for protecting food, papers, books, fabrics, tools, meds, storage, travel, crafts, organizing, gardening. A must have with my large aquarium. The quality of the freezer bags has become terrible. I have more failures that successes. When loading the bag very often the ends of the zipper come apart and the bag splits down the side. Will not work for anything with weight such as a book or tools anymore. The plastic is no longer thick enough to freezer meat on bones. The bones do not have to be sharp to poke a hole. Anything rubbing against a bag containing something hard, does not have to be sharp will put a hole in the bag. Sadly I can no longer give 5 stars or recommend Ziploc freezer bags.
The first 2 bags I opened ripped apart. I have to be very careful when I open them other wise they rip apart. Those bags used to be solid but unfortunately not anymore. Sorry
