The pouches are ideal for small items such as nuts or herbs. I can buy cashew, peanuts... in bulk and store them in ratio good enough for a snack. It is a time saver since you can vacuum and seal 2 pouches at the time.
I use these bags for packaging smoked cheese. We cut the cheese into quarters and the bags work great with no waste. I would highly recommend these bags.
I have been frustrated many times by having to use a large bag to seal a small item. Also, i realized the 8 inch rolls cost the same as the 11 inch rolls so there was no advantage I saw from a cost savings standpoint. Now, with these perforated bags I can double the value when sealing small items. I will be purchasing these again.
Very disappointed in this product. Thought it would be very convenient to be able to seal smaller portions but I have wasted more pouches than I have used due to the pouches not vacuum sealing properly. I decided to make my own using the 11 in. rolls and I had no problem with them sealing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
